Lyrics
Chancer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What you need is to take a chance
Dancing days a whole thing of the past
Mix it up and make a go
Just to let her know
This is her night
So let it show
And if you're feeling wounded
Don't waste your time, oh right away
Falling down isn't bad for a go
Just to let her know
Hey now, hey now
Take it to the other side
You don't look so cool
But you look so alive
So alive, so alive
Hey now, hey now
Take it to the other side
You don't look so cool
But you look so alive
So alive, so alive
What you need is to take a chance
Dancing days a whole thing of the past
Mix it up and make a go
Just to let her know
This is her night
So let it show
And well if you're dead on the dancefloor
Can't keep moving anymore
Just sing it loud and we'll all sing your pain
We all feel the same
Hey now, hey now
Take it to the other side
You don't look so cool
But you look so alive
So alive, so alive
Hey now, hey now
Take it to the other side
You don't look so cool
But you look so alive
So alive, so alive
