On Dancefloors Lyrics


Hearing is getting me down
Is getting me down to the disco floor
Hearing is wearing me down
It's wearing down from my ears

All those evenings
Spent disappointed On Dancefloors
[Incomprehensible] and learn one day

I wanna get more from this
I wanna get more from this
I wanna get more from this, than you

Sometimes I'll put up with it, alright
But I can't even dance the way I might
Were it just me and you tonight?

I wanna get more from this
I wanna get more from this
I wanna get more from this
I wanna get more from this, than you

On Dancefloors
  • Metronomy frontman Joe Mount told NME that this was the first song he wrote that had "more than four or so words in it." He added: "When I wrote it I was living in a Brighton bedsit. Bedsits are great places for steering up all kinds of emotions. I think I stole the 'I want to get more from this' from Roxy Music's 'More Than This.'"
  • Philip Castle did the Nights Out album cover. Mount explained to NME: "He was an airbrush artist in the 70s and I wanted him to do a kind of pastoral English scene, but airbrush it. One problem was that airbrushing is much better if you use metallic colours, and I wanted to use dark green."

    "But yeah," Mount added, "it's supposed to look like a dystopian future city."
