lyrics

Dancing The Years Away
(Glenn Cardier)

Where is the ‘Cloudland‘? Where has it gone?
Is this the dance floor we danced upon?
Someone got drunk and sang songs about love -
There were bright decorations hung from above -
What the hell happened to us?
I was so sure it was all here to stay -
Never thought it would ever disintegrate
Into dust.

I knew you’d appear -
Fancy meeting you here -
We’ll fly, just you and I,
Dancing the years away.

Where are the ‘Bel-aires’? What was that song?  
Who was that fool with the party-hat on?
Raising a riot, stepping on toes -
Tore the tuxedo, bloodied the nose -
Now there’s not a sound to be heard.
Can’t tell you when it all began to shift -
Now we just may be the only ones left
On this earth.

Now, now, now -
Oh, my love, come to me,
Come to me now -
Now, now, now -
Here we go round, and it‘s
1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3 now -

And we’ll dance, dance -
Don’t really know what surprises me most -
Who’d ever think that we’d stand a ghost
Of a chance?

Glenn Cardier Sydney, Australia

Post 2000, Glenn Cardier’s re-emergence as a songwriter/performer of real distinction has been nothing short of extraordinary. In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music. Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour and thumping rockabilly/blues. But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
