«My wires crossed like they never did before«

Otra primera aparición en la lista.  Estos scousers hace un año daban conciertos en China y Malawi, pero no podían conseguir nada en Inglaterra.  Su reputación fue creciendo poco a poco, y para principios de año lanzan su último single con el sello KIDS, antes de pasar con 14th Floor.  Ese último single con KIDS fue esta canción, la primera del grupo en entrar al top 40 británico, la que los daba poco a poco a concer, antes de que apretaran el botón «hit» y llegaran todavía más lejos.  Uno de mis videos favoritos del año.

The Wombats – Backfire At The Disco

It’s 8 o’ clock and I’m feeling fine
I’m out on a date tonight
In a candle lit restaurant down by the riverside
Everything’s going alright I guess
She took down my number and home address
Everything was going perfectly until…

It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco, I did something I’ll never forget

It was a chat-up line built not to impress
More a sleazy remark on her whorish dress
My wires crossed like they’ve never done before
Well it’s 3 o’ clock and I’m feeling shite
I’m going home alone tonight
Everything was going perfectly until…

It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco
I did something I’ll never forget
It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
I made a move when it was well out of context

It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
Yeah, it backfired at the disco, when she slapped me at the disco
It backfired at the disco, we were dancing at the disco
