Because hes a good lookin man
Nelson
She looks obscure
I’d like to do her

Slip slide & slutty
Its time to cut inside
As I glide to his side cross the floor
Nelson
Ahh its kissin time
Gonna taste the tongue o’ this girl so fine
City
NO— you aint got there yet
I’m hangin on for my tete-a-tete
Nelson
I got my eye in
Cheatin & lyin
She is a lionesse
But I’m blest with a fast sharp fork tongue
City
He gives me twirl style
Twist like a turn style
Whippin the whirl while
I’m just happy ba-bobbin along
Nelson
I put my oar in
She’s all but snoring
She finks im borin’
But I’d test the best of Cairo
City
I like ya near
My hemisphere

Date, or mate, or would you like to know
Nelson
I’m just killing time
Until the time your tongue is mine
City
Pure apocalypse when kissing slips
Between our lips
Nelson
You’ve got to keep on
Push down the pylons
Set off the fire alarms
City
Then keep the beat strong
Let your feet stomp
It wont be long before were one
Nelson & City

That’s you & me in ecstasy
& when weve gone & harmonized
We’ll keep the feeling feelin’ really nice
You & me that’s harmony

Well shall we partake in the booth, its pretty discreet there
Lily
We’ll be with you in a minute
City
That is a proper score Larry
Larry

Exit City & Larry
Nelson
I’ve got this feeling you’re pissed off with me or something
Lily
Am I – I wonder why
Nelson
We were only dancing
Lily
Your hands were all over her – & you’ve got a semi -I should have left you to rot in jail, life’s a struggle enough without letting fucked-up muppets like you into it
Nelson
But baby, you’re the green mint triangle in the quality street box of my heart – the semi is because I’m talking to you
Lily
Is it
Nelson
Of course it is, our bodies are connected, like, spiritually
Lily
I’m really sorry – I’m not the jealous type, but I’ve only just found ya & I’m terrified of losing ya
Nelson
Come here
Lily & Nelson embrace
Lily
It’s not a semi anymore
Nelson
Come on, lets have that line
Exit a loved-up Lily & Nelson / Enter TC & Stacey luvd up
TC
Yo Brooklyn!
Brooklyn
Whats happening bro?
TC
Hold the decks for a couple of tunes will ya, me & Stacey are gonna have a dance
Brooklyn
No worries – & by the way, I’m proud of ya – you’re doing a wicked job pal, totaly saved the day
TC
It’s what I do, innit – I’m glad you asked me anyway, its kind of alright, this disco malarkey – gizza cuddle
TC & Brooklyn embrace
Stacey
Come on gaylord, lets boogie
SOLARIZED
TC
I cannot pretend
You don’t have a dart
It shot thro the smoke
& shatter’d my heart
Yes I know this is always
The way of the ravers
When you’re dancing for fun
Then some honey blows you away
In every way
I’m hypnotized
I’m making a bed in her eyes
I’m solarized
She might be the love of my life!
She is dancing
Stacey
We are dancing…
TC
Is this all a game
Some chemical ruse
My soul is aflame
It burns for my muse
She inspires me these fires
Are eternally blazing
When shes dancing for me
She can see that she blows me away
In every way
I’m hypnotized
She’s siftin’ the love from the lies
I’m solarized
She might be the light of my life
She is dancing
Stacey & TC
We are dancing…
Katie & Krissie start chatting up Brooklyn at the decks & distract him
TC
I’m open to something excepting evasive sensations
The twilight is over her solar eyes blow me away
In every way
I’m hypnotized
I think that I’ve just realized
I’m solarized
I’ve danced with the love of my life
O yes she is
There’s no doubt about it
O yes she is
I’m gonna scream & shout it
O yes she is
There’s no doubt it
No doubt about it
Tune finishes / Brooklyn becomes flustered / crowd moan their dissappreciation
TC
{running back to the decks}
Brooklyn, what ya playin’ at?
Enter the Silver Strobes…
THE CONCHORDIA FOLIO
“Its worth a pop, right, to try & knock that Shakespeare
Off his feffin’ perch!”
