I used to try very hard to make friends
with everyone on the planet
I've seen you havin' it, havin' it, hmm
but now you've just had it
Entertainment can sometimes be hard
when the thing that you love
is the same thing that's holding you down
Oh, this man is dangerous
he just shed his load on your best party frock
Before you enter the palace of wisdom
you have to decide: are you ready to rock?
Hmm, can you party with me?
Can you show me a good time?
Do you even know what one looks like?
And I don't need to hear your stories again
just get on the floor and show me
Show me what you're made of
Just what exactly are you made of?
Baby, you're driving me crazy
Baby, you're driving me crazy
I was having a whale of a time
until your uncle, your uncle Psychosis arrived
Why do we have to half kill ourselves
just to prove we're alive?
I'm here whenever you need me
And whenever you need me
Well I won't be here
And do you ever stop to ask yourself?
If you didn't come to party
then why did you come here?
Then why did you come here?
Baby, you're driving me crazy
Baby, you're driving me crazy
And do you really know want to know
just how come
you turned out so dumb?
When the party's over will you come home with me?
When the party's over will you come home with me?
Now the party's over will you come home to me
Will you come home to me?
Will you come home to me?
Will you come home to me?
It always had the title Party Hard after somebody once said it as a little phrase. I found it hard to come up with something interesting to sing - Chris Thomas is quite a patient man, but he was kind of saying: "are you actually ever going to sing on this song or what?" So under this pressure, I got this little Japanese guitar that's got batteries in it. I kind of got this tune that the melody goes against really - kind of flowed on top rather than part of the song. I got this idea of having two voices - two voices singing exactly the same words but there's this interval.
Details here.
