Lyrics

Brush your hair to some Eurodisco trash

Preparing for a night out with a reference to grooming while listening to Eurodisco music.

Two prophylactics and forty-five dollars cash

The speaker has protection and money for the night.

Corduroy jacket and some fifty buck shoes

Describing the speaker's clothing: corduroy jacket and expensive shoes.

That can lead like a lamp when they're a scrubbing up new

The shoes are emphasized for their ability to lead or guide.

Sunday best on a Friday night alright

Wearing the best outfit on an unconventional night.

I'll meet you at the corner beneath the Goodyear foot sign

Setting a meeting point beneath a Goodyear sign.

Where all dates are made by mobile

Highlighting contemporary dating via mobile phones.

I'll send you a smoke signal just be there by nine

Suggesting communication through smoke signals to ensure meeting by nine.


This smoke, I left it for you

Leaving a symbolic smoke signal for someone.

To show Mum and Dad your new tattoo alright

Showcasing a new tattoo to parents with humor.

So they're my plans, how'd they fit with you?

Asking how the speaker's plans align with the listener's.


There's a streetlight for each night your heart hit the deck

Connecting streetlights to moments of emotional impact.

This drink says I love you, this drink says I couldn't care less

Alcohol as a medium for expressing emotions, both love and indifference.

Kiss me so I know I'm alive

Seeking confirmation of life through a kiss.

The drinks taste crap but they keep coming til five

Drinks may not be enjoyable, but they continue until the early morning.


Numbers on the wall, I got my ears like a shell

Observing surroundings with heightened senses.

The phone stinks of chips, cheap wine, mouthwash and gel

Describing the scent of a phone, possibly from the night's activities.

C'mon we'll drink the last of the rent

Suggesting the speaker and listener finish the remaining alcohol.

And I'll leave my number right down on the strap of your dress

Leaving contact information on the listener's clothing.


And it's late, and she's Sue

Introducing a character named Sue late in the night.

'cause I read it on the back of her boyfriends neck alright

Identifying Sue by reading her boyfriend's neck tattoo.

So they're my plans, how'd they fit with you?

Repeating the question of how the speaker's plans align with the listener's.


Yeah, I had a plan, but how'd it fit with you?

Reflecting on having plans and questioning how they fit with the listener.
