Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It all started about twenty past 4 in the afternoon
The sun was high in the sky and so was I
I had my speakers on and Toots was tellin' me that it is you
(Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I invite my friends round to have a drink
And before too long, we were dancing
As the sun set somewhere over in Collingwood
With a can in each hand, we head out into the night
Under those ever-familiar Melbourne city lights
[Verse 3]
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
[Verse 4]
Now the clock strikes ten past 10
It seemed like as good a reason as any to go and do some shots
But all we really wanted to do was to smoke some pot
So we made our way through the beer garden
[Verse 5]
Through the haze of conversation and tobacco smoke
To find ourselves underneath the tree
To smoke a little Sensi-Mi
And now onto the dance floor looking for much, much more
As Mike Skinner sings the line, the weak become heroes
[Verse 6]
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
[Verse 7]
Now it reaches that point in the night
Where it ain't no longer a point in the night
People have started dropping off like flies
The only ones left, they got too high, hey
[Verse 8]
So we walk out of the bar, shielding our eyes
And avoiding the gaze of those that have started their day
We make our way home, far too tired to talk
And we spark up a joint which, you know
Eases the thought of having to sleep
[Verse 9]
These moments get lost 'cause of our memories being a blur
But the sense and feeling, it'll go on forever
These nights are not rare and that's not why we care
We are who we are and that's more than enough
[Verse 10]
These people around me make me feel alive
And I've got a feeling that I'll never die
These people around me make me feel alive
And I've got a feeling that I'll never die
[Verse 11]
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
[Verse 12]
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
Don't you wish these nights go on forever?
