Divine Comedy, The - At The Indie Disco Lyrics






We go down to the indie disco every Thursday night
Dance to our favourite indie hits until the morning light
At the indie disco, the indie disco, at the indie disco, yeah

We've got a table in the corner that is always ours
Under the poster of Morrissey with a bunch of flowers
We drink and talk about stupid stuff
Then hit the floor for Tainted love
You know I just can't get enough
At the indie disco, the indie disco, at the indie disco, yeah

Give us some Pixies and some Roses and some Valentines
Give us some Blur, and some Cure, and some Wannadies
And now we're moving to the beat
And staring at each other's feet
I wonder if she fancies me
At the indie disco, the indie disco, at the indie disco, yeah

And when it's over and I'm freezing on the night bus home
I think of her and I sing the words to my favourite song
She makes my heart beat the same way
As at the start of Blue Monday
Always the last song that they play
At the indie disco, the indie disco, at the indie disco, yeah yeah yeah...
At the indie disco, the indie disco, at the indie disco, yeah

  1. P.... ....

    Reminds me of the days of Popstarz lol

    underrated band

  3. L.... V....

    wasn't expecting to see Black Flag's Damaged thrown into the mix :)

  4. j.... ....

    brings back memories of the 90's

  5. M.... J....

    La Máscara, Valparaíso, Chile ☺️

  6. d.... a....

    Muy bonito.
    Saludos desde Monte Grande, Argentina!

  7. V.... V....

    so deliciously British , student life ahhhhhhhh ;D

  8. k.... ....

    “She makes my heart beat the same way as at the start of Blue Monday.” Nice!

  9. B.... W....

    At our Indie Disco, the last song played was always 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA!

  10. L.... A....

    Offbeat at Sheffield Uni!

  11. T.... F....

    loved every moment of it

  12. m.... ....

    I bet Neil Hannon is a really down to earth genuine guy. I'd love to meet him.

  13. c.... f....

    you were outstanding at Hull

  14. K.... V....

    inserted blue Monday into this tune also! divine 👍

    K.... V....

    Speaking of Divine ;) That riff, which New Order heard whilst trawling the gay clubs in The States. Bobby O was/is a legend of the Hi-NRG sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdpnTQ_BxEc

  15. K.... V....

    just seen these at a gig absolutely divine 👍

  16. j.... v....

    I love Divine !

  19. m.... ....

    The Divine Comedy needs more attention - help get this music out there! Share!

  20. D.... D....

    very good!!!

  21. e.... ....

    How come Neil Hannon is not a World Celebrity Now? Everyone should share. This is exactly how pop rock should be written and done. So much for the waste out there, this is how you write and sing a pop song. You make people happy with a story.

  22. S.... M....

    Love Neil's dance moves! <3

  23. T.... F....

    what software program can create a video like that? love it

    T.... F....

    Tony From Syracuse the video was a mixture of 2d and 3d graphics. im the designer/animator/compositor on the video

    T.... F....

    after effects, alot of masks or mattes should get you this look, composition is the key thing here though

  24. L.... H....

    "Next to the poster of Morrissey with a bunch of flowers"
    Class... ;)

  25. �.... ....

    Like the ending

  26. J.... B....

  41. m.... ....

    The violins remind me of "this must be the place" by the talking heads! 

  42. G.... C....

    I didn't even know indie discos existed.

    I guess it's one of the flaws of living in latin america :(

  43. X.... R....

    indie anthem!

    the active set indie-rock video miusic

  76. D.... T....

  77. L.... K....

    @dandruf1 yea, doyles on the corner of d'olier street,near college green.big purple building.its not tecnically a DISCO....its a student pub, but they've a tiny dancefloor and dj upstairs in the lounge. the place is small and shabby but thats exactly why i love it. i've had some great great nights in there for years now. the academy on abbey street is an indie club, the workmans club, the button factory....there's loads of indie places in town

  78. d.... ....

    The world needs more indie discos!!!!!!!!!

  79. d.... ....

    @19sparkie91
    I know (only) two places in France : Shannon pub in Toulon (South-East) and "Le Motel" in Paris. But there are still a few indie disco in the world, aren't there?
    (Debaser in Stockholm, Garage at Glasgow, Garage in London...)

  80. d.... ....

    @alttakes
    This is the name of a good indie disco?

  81. d.... ....

    @milomoon

  91. S.... ....

    @19sparkie91 Try Whelans in Dublin on Friday nights, very close to this!

  92. U.... ....

    @EarnestPrat - Yes, because Neil Hannon reads every YouTube post and thinks to himself, "EarnestPrat hated that song I spent countless hours writing and recording. I better not insult his *ridiculously* fine sense of taste again. I live to please him/her."

    I hear Justin Bieber has a new single out and know one has commented on it. Hurry!

  93. U.... ....
