Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The death of a disco dancer
Well, it happens a lot 'round here
And if you think peace is a common goal
That goes to show how little you know
[Verse 2]
The death of a disco dancer
Well, I'd rather not get involved
I never talk to my neighbour
I'd rather not get involved
[Verse 3]
Love, peace, and harmony
Love, peace, and harmony
Oh very nice, very nice, very nice, very nice
But maybe in the next world
[Verse 4]
Love, peace, and harmony
Love, peace, and harmony
Oh very nice, very nice, very nice, very nice, very nice
But maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
[Verse 5]
Love, peace, and harmony
Love, peace, and harmony
Oh very nice, very nice, very nice
Maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
[Verse 6]
(In the next world, in the next world
In the next world, in the next world)
[Verse 7]
The next world
The next world
[Verse 8]
The death of a disco dancer
The death of a disco dancer
The death of a disco dancer
Written by: Steven Morrissey, Johnny Marr
