Come Dancing

The Kinks

Transposer:

Come Dancing - The Kinks (Backwards Strums) [Verse] They put a parking lot on a piece of land Where the supermarket used to stand. Before that they put up a bowling alley On the site that used to be the local Palais. That’s where the big bands used to come and play. My sister went there on a Saturday. [Chorus] Come dancing All her boyfriends used to come and call. Why not come dancing? it’s only natural [Riff] [Verse] Another Saturday another date. She would be ready but she’s always make them wait. In the hallway in anticipation He didn’t know the night would end up in frustration. He’d end up blowing all his wages for the week All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek. [Chorus] Come dancing That’s how they did it when I was just a kid And when they said come dancing my sister always did. [Riff] My sister should have come in at midnight And my mom would always sit up and wait. It always ended up in a big row When my sister used to get home late. (This part is like the intro) (spoken) Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom yells at them...) The day they knocked down the pally My sister stood and cried. The day they knocked down the pally Part of my childhood died just died. (loud) (Repeat intro) [Verse] Now I’m grown up and playing in a band And there’s a car park where the pally used to stand. My sister’s married and she lives on an estate. Her daughters go out now it’s her turn to wait. She knows they get away with things she never could But if I asked her I wonder if she would [Chorus] Come dancing Come on sister have yourself a ball. Don’t be afraid to come dancing it’s only natural. (The last chorus leads to a key change....) Come dancing Just like the pally on a Saturday. And all her friends will come dancing Where the big bands used to play. Hold the Em for two measures then modulate to the key of Eb. This is the same riff as before played in Eb. Perhaps someone out there can write the notes for the finale... x4

La chanson évoque avec nostalgie les souvenirs d’une époque où les loisirs étaient marqués par les sorties dans des lieux emblématiques comme un palais de danse. Elle parle de la jeunesse, des rencontres et des amours qui se construisent lors de ces soirées dansantes, tout en soulignant la tristesse des changements qui effacent ces moments. On ressent l'importance de ces traditions familiales, notamment le lien entre la narratrice et sa sœur, qui évoquent les attentes et les tensions familiales liées à ces sorties nocturnes. Le contexte se situe dans un quartier en mutation, où les anciens lieux de rassemblement tels que le bowling ou le palais de danse ont laissé place à des parkings et à de nouvelles constructions. Cela souligne un sentiment de perte et de mélancolie, témoin d’une époque révolue qui a marqué l’enfance du narrateur.
