about

The original 7" single version of We're Having a Party released in April 1985

lyrics

I was lying in my bed just looking at the wall
When an apparition came to me.
She had a beautiful shape, so nice and small
Lovely from her neck to her knees.
She was carrying her head underneath her arm,
That’s too bizarre to be a fantasy.
She moved her pretty dead lips, I knew she meant me no harm.
I’ll tell you what she said to me.

We’re having a party! Oooh Oooh!
On the other side.
Won’t you come and join us. Oooh Oooh!
Come on! I’ll take you on a free ride! HA!
Living isn’t easy! Oooh Oooh!
And death ain’t the Hell its cracked up to be!
Come to our party! Oooh Oooh!
Live dangerously.

Well suicide had never occurred to me before,
It wasn’t something that was on my mind.
To me it always seemed the same as fighting a war, you know,
A bit of a waste of time.
But when this vision spoke, life was a joke
And I almost followed her lead.
It was hard not to fall, coz after all,
Isn’t oblivion just another word for PEACE?

We’re having a party! Oooh Oooh!
On the other side.
Won’t you come and join us. Oooh Oooh!
Come on! I’ll take you on a free ride! HA!
Living isn’t easy! Oooh Oooh!
And death ain’t the Hell its cracked up to be!
Come to our party! Oooh Oooh!
Live dangerously.

We’re having a party! Oooh Oooh!
On the other side.
Won’t you come and join us. Oooh Oooh!
Come on! I’ll take you on a free ride! HA!
Living isn’t easy! Oooh Oooh!
And death ain’t the Hell its cracked up to be!
Come to our party! Oooh Oooh!
Live dangerously.
