We need dance songs for awkward parties
We need something that can break the ice
We need music to get this started
Or nobody's gonna have a good time
It's hard to make conversation in the gap between turning up
And the point at which you've finally drained your red cup
Because there's already spilled drinks on the floor
And you know there's gonna be a lot more
This thing is going south like a bird in the winter
There's people in the kitchen
But nobody you like
And there's people in the garden
They'll be smoking all night
We both know
Exactly what this needs
We need dance songs for awkward parties
We need something that can break the ice
We need music to get this started
Or nobody's gonna have a good time
Dance!
There's a sea of people here and you're treading water
There's a weird mixer in your glass
They're out of the booze you like and most of your friends have called it a night
But your ready to make do with what's left
There's people in the kitchen
But nobody you like
And there's people in the garden
They'll be smoking all night
We both know
Exactly what this needs
It needs dance songs for awkward parties
We need something that can break the ice
We need music to get this started
Or nobody's gonna have a good time
Well the bluetooth's breaking down
You make your play
It's time to say what you've wanted to say
Come on Eileen!
We need dance songs for awkward parties
And we need something that can break the ice
We need music to get this started
Or nobody's gonna have a good time
