lyrics
Friends dance in the other room, they’ve left me on my own
They say if I don’t join them, I might as well go home
All these happy people are making me feel sad. The so-called
best days of our lives are the worst I’ve ever had
I want to tell the strangers here that I’m out with all my friends. I’m not the loser in the corner, all alone for the weekend
No I don’t need checking up on, I enjoy my company
Things are OK over here, yes I’m content just being me. Though I know that...
This dancefloor needs me, I’m not being funny, it’s just that I am shy
This dancefloor needs me, give it one more song and maybe I will try
I wish I could dance like no-one’s watching
Dance like I’m not stopping, but I can’t, no I can’t even start
Is anyone sat here, may I pull up a chair?
I see you’ve got a table, I thought that we could share? My friends are
in the other room, they’ve left me on my own
Please tell me how you feel cos I’m not ready to go home...
I know I’m getting on but I can’t recall the change
I was dancing every week but now it feels a little strange
I think my days are numbered within this old night club. Should I
stick to a late bar, or stay in an old man’s pub?
I want to lose it on the floor but I’ve lost my motivation
Now I’m rooted to the spot for another song’s duration
I’m trying really hard but I can’t lose my inhibition
so I’ll wait here in the bar because moving is a mission
I know exactly how you feel, I’ve been there before. Sometimes
I don’t wanna dance, and my friends call me a bore. But they
say there’s strength in numbers; I see that we are two
I can feel the music play, so here’s what we should do:
I’m going to take you by the hand we’ll go show our friends next door
Let’s down our drinks in here and head for the dancefloor
I don’t care what song is playing, and it’s not about romance
Leave your fears right here and together we will dance

The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt. Michael Feck
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
The first solo release in over a decade from Bev Lee Harling is a personal travelogue filled with euphoric compositions. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 20, 2021

Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
