Black Box - Strike It Up

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Here are the lyrics to the Original Remix Radio Edit since YouTube won't let me upload it. Even as someone living in a country where the song wasn't that popular, the sequencing of parts sounds very wrong:
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Dance, dance, dance)

Strike it up, this band is gonna play my tune
Strike it up, I wanna, I wanna tell you so
Strike it up, nobody's gonna stop my sound
Strike it up, you know how lonely one can feel

[Saxophone solo]

(Yeah, yeah)
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)

Waiting on my feelings, yeah, yeah
Waiting on my feelings, feelings
Waiting on my feelings, yeah, yeah
Waiting on my feelings, feelings

(Yeah, yeah)
(Dance, dance, dance)

Strike it up, your hand is taping on my skin
Strike it up, and keep me and keep me standing on
Strike it up, nobody's gonna let you down
Strike it up, you know how lovely one can be

If I have the line, and you have the bass
Then strike it up and you'll find the rhythm's on time
Line after line, going straight to your mind
'Cause hyping the place is what we're all about
Moving your waist to the bass is no doubt
Roll up the groove, melody is essential
Drop the knowledge on this instrumental

Dance your doubts about house music
You've got the body so why don't you use it?
Naturally swinging your thing to the song
'Cause that's how we pump the dance floor for the strong

Waiting on my feelings, yeah, yeah
Waiting on my feelings, feelings
Waiting on my feelings, yeah, yeah
Waiting on my feelings, feelings

(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)

Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up
Strike it up, strike it up

	Yeah -- I'm not wild about it cutting back to the 'dance! dance! dance!' buildup so early in the song, but someone thought it was a good idea. As an aside, are these official lyrics you got from somewhere? I always thought it was "Cast your doubts about house music", like the expression (throwing your doubts about house music away).
