Swindie (Panic at "The Background") - Ivan & The Parazol

Panic at 'The Background', but I don’t hear the sound

The boys are getting higher, they’re dancing till dawn

The voice is from our street

There’s no place for more feet

Panic is the mood I see, let’s have more, let it beer!

Panic at 'The Background', dancing round and round

A Sunday Evening Swindie, that’s what I wanna see

Panic at 'The Background' all around and round and round

Panic at the background, with a foolish crazy sound

Panic at the 'The Background', and a band rocks them all

Panic shakes them in and out, there’s no place to sleep

Beer is on the floor, and beer is on the wall

Someone made a nice call, so the cops are at the door

The room is just an eyesore, so this is the end of the party war

What’s next guys?

Panic at 'The Background' all around and round and round

Panic is the mood I see, and the mood I wanna feel

Panic at the 'The Background', and a band rocks them all

Panic shakes them in and out, there’s no place to sleep

Well I’m thinking of a place where we could be together

Where you can drink and chat and smoke and kiss just forever

Where no dogs are allowed and the lights are green

And if you’re lucky you can see the ghost of James Dean

Where the music is loud and the beer is cold

A place where you can boogie till you’re getting old

Well «The Background» seems so good to me

So it’s the only place where I want to be.

But someone broke the rules for fun

Who will pay for what they’ve done?

God speed gentleman, the court waits for you!

Panic at 'The Background' all around and round and round

Panic is the mood I see, and the mood I wanna feel

Panic at the 'The Background', and a band rocks them all

Panic shakes them in and out, there’s no place to sleep Pa-pa-pa-pa-panic.
