Disco Love

I was drunk

Trapped in a disco

Trying to find the exit

The flashing lights

Found the ladder in your tights

As my eyes climbed up

You were drunk

Our eyes eventually met

When you tripped on a step

And fell into my arms

As your drink

Painted my face

We landed on the dance floor

Surrounded by feet

Both of us on our backs

Laughing to the beat

Of a song I couldn’t stand

And you couldn’t sing

We staggered to the bar

I could hardly speak

I got you half a lager

And a rum and coke for me

I suspect that promises were made

That would be dust in the morning

I was about to broach the subject

Of your place or mine

But you declined

When you noticed your husband was

Looking for you

As I was looking to escape

Disco love is such a short sweet thing
