Just like the Palais on a Saturday
My sister used to go to the Palais
Why not come dancing
The day they knocked down the Palais
My sister should have come in a midnight
On the site that used to be the local Palais
She would be ready but she's always make them wait
Don't be afraid to come dancing
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait
But she used to come home and say
It always ended up in a big row
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
All her boyfriends used to come and call
And my mom would always sit up and wait
Every Saturday night
And all her friends will come dancing
Come dancing
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
But if I asked her I wonder if she would
Out of my window
That's where the big bands used to come and play
Before that they put up a bowling alley
My sister stood and cried
My sister always did
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
And when they said come dancing
And there's a car park where the Palais used to stand
It's only natural?
Come dancing
Where the big bands used to play
She knows they get away with things she never could
Come dancing
It's only natural
When my sister used to get home late
Come dancing
My sister went there on a Saturday
The day they knocked down the Palais
I can see them in the moonlight
Come on sister, have yourself a ball
Part of my childhood died, just died
Two silhouettes
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
In the hallway, in anticipation
Kissing by the garden gate
Another Saturday, another date
