Lyrics

Anvil (Night Club School)

Lost amongst the crowd

On the torso's pumping iron

A man with a horn takes to the stage

The drum beat cracks in time

Harder and bolder, the bodies move

Shoulder to shoulder, skin feels smooth

Palms sticky, still so cool

The crash of the anvil at the nightclub school

Watch the moving bodies

As they react to the sound

Feasting on the visions

See the figures going round

Graceful and flowing, the fashion shows

Sensual and glowing, the passion grows

Pick your playmate, still so cool

The crash of the anvil at the nightclub school

Take it as it comes up

Leave it when it's done

Put a number in your matchbook

And call when you want fun

Living the nightlife to the end

Giving the right life like a friend

One more rover, still so cool

The crash of the anvil at the nightclub school

Ahhhh nightclub school

Dance with me

Ahhhh nightclub school

Play with me

Ahhhh nightclub school

Stay with me

Ahhhh nightclub school

Ride with me

Ahhhh nightclub school

Have fun with me

Ahhhh nightclub school

Dance with me

Ahhhh nightclub school

The drumbeat cracks in time

Ahhhh nightclub school

Ahhhh nightclub school
