The Song

Italics denotes shot.

Singer appears and begins to play guitar.
Bitches and glances - Midshot of singer
Rough romances
I'm sorry if I caught your eye
What is she wearing? - Close up
That's a bit daring!
Oh please put away those thunderous thighs...

Do you see what I see? - Longshot of
He's looking straight at me as if I've done something wrong
And I looked at his missus - Cut to shot of tarted up woman
High heels, pink lipstick
Won't be for very long
Oh I won't be for very long - Cut back to singer, midshot.
- Shot of guitar
But I'm alright they all cried - Longshot of singer
As they stumble down the stairs
I'm just finding no inhibitions - Close up of singer
No rhythm worries or cares
And you're unstoppable now - Cut to shot of people dancing
Moving on the dance floor
You're unstoppable the world is at your feet if only for tonight
- Shot of guitar frets and fingers of the singer.
I was just passing you dancing - Longshot of singer
You asked me to walk to the floor
Where are we going?
Stop tooing and frowing - Close up
Don't ask me cos I don't know
You tried to control her
I can't control her
Mascara runs down her cheek - Cut to shot of girl crying
Call 'em a bastards - Close up of singer
Oh when plastered they'll be back together next week
By the end of next week - Midshot

But I'm alright they all cried - Longshot
As they stumble down the stairs
I'm just finding no inhibitions - Close up
No rhythm worries or cares
And you're unstoppable now - Cut to dancers
Moving on the dance floor
You're unstoppable the world is at your feet if only for tonight - Close up of singer
If only for tonight

Ooh no - Shot of guitar
When they've had too much - Close up
Everybody wants her
Everybody wants him
Oh just a faintest touch
The bouncers shout to the screams on top of the bar - Longshot
And the crowd disappears as the police arrive
And throw the thugs in the back of the car - Close up
Yea it all comes part of the package - Midshot
Front row viewing at no extra cost
Just fill 'em up with the barrel
Now you've lit the fuse so watch the fireworks go off

Roll out the barrel
Bring out the barrel
Roll out the barrel
Don't bring out the barrel now
- shot of guitar for the solo
Roll out the barrel - close up
Bring out the barrel
Roll out the barrel - longshot
Don't bring out the barrel now
- fade to black

Whats the song about?

The song was written by Milburn to show the atompshere in modern day clubs. In the opening verses, the typical English ladette is described with the "thunderous thighs," "high heels," and "pink lipstick." They also describe how after a drink or two, most lads will agree to anything involving a girl, as they describe the fact that "everybody wants her" despite her appearance. Tom Carnall, Milburn's lead singer who wrote this song, also describes the hostility show by many men who catch people looking at their girlfriends, who may well be going around flirting with almost every bloke in the club, but the boyfriend turns a blind eye to that. This song tells the tale of Carnall, who once in a club found himself caught in a vicious love circle, and this song shows his point of view, as well as what he imagines the other people in the club to be thinking as fights break out of girls who wind lads up as a hobby.
