  • Verse 1
    Be
    cause we're 
    all so very 
    twenty first 
    century, 


    You're probably 
    listening 
    to me 

    on some kind 
    of portable 
    stereo 

    Maybe 
    you're sitting 
    on the back 
    of the bus, 


    Or it's 
    running up your sleeve, 

    and you're across 
    from your boss, 

    Or you're sitting 
    in your bedroom 

    on your own with 
    the 
    light
    s down low 

    I'd 
    like to 
    teach you 
    four simple 
    words, 

    so 
    that next 
    time you come 
    to a show, 

    You could sing 
    those word
    s back at 
    me 

    like they're 
    the 
    only 
    ones 
    that you 
    know: 

    Verse 2
    want 
    to 
    dance, 
    want 
    to 
    dance 

    want 
    lust 
    and 
    love 
    and 

    a smattering 
    of 
    ro
    mance 

    But 
    I'm no 
    good at 
    dancing, 

    yet 
    I have to 
    do something 

    To
    night 
    I'm going 
    to play 
    it straight, 

    I'm going 
    to 
    take 
    my 
    chance, 
    want 
    to 
    dance 

    Verse 3

    Hi 
    ho 
    hi 
    ho 
    hi 
    ho, 

    we're 
    heading 
    out 
    to the 
    punk 
    rock 
    show 

    Colleagues 
    and friend

    s condescend 
    with a 
    smile, 

    But 
    this is 
    my cul
    ture 
    man, 

    this 
    is my home 

    The 
    dark 
    huddled 
    masses 

    gather 
    at 
    the gate, 

    Yeah, 
    the 
    doors 
    are 
    at 

    7, and the 
    show 
    starts 
    at 

    A few 
    precious 
    hours 
    in a 
    space 
    of our 
    own, 


    And when the 
    band 
    comes 
    on, the 

    only 
    thing I 
    really 
    know: 

    Verse 4
    want 
    to 
    dance, 
    want 
    to 
    dance 

    want 
    lust 
    and 
    love 
    and a 

    smatter
    ing 
    of 
    romance 

    But 
    I'm no 
    good 
    at 
    dancing, 

    and 
    yet I 
    have 
    to do 
    something 

    To
    night 
    I'm going to 
    play 
    it straight, 
    I'm going to 
    take 
    my 
    chance, 

    want 
    to 
    dance 

    Interlude 1


    Yeah 
    is 
    anybody 
    else 
    Verse 5
    sick 

    of the music 

    That's churned 
    out by 
    lacklustre 

    scenesters from 
    Shoreditch? 

    Yeah 
    it's all 
    sex 
    drugs and 
    sins, 

    like 
    they're extras 
    from 
    Skins, 

    But 
    it's OK 
    because 

    they don't 
    really 
    mean 
    it 

    I want 
    band
    who had to 

    work for 
    their 
    keep, 

    Drove 
    a thousand 
    miles 
    and played 

    a show 
    on no 
    sleep, 

    Sleeping 
    on the 
    floor 
    in a 

    stranger's 
    place, 

    Hungry 
    just to 
    do 
    it all 
    again the 
    next 
    day 

    Verse 6
    want 
    to 
    dance, 
    want 
    to 
    dance 

    want 
    lust 
    and 
    love 
    and a 

    smattering 
    of 
    ro
    mance 

    But 
    I'm no 
    good 
    at 
    dancing, 

    and 
    yet 
    I have 
    to 
    do 
    something 

    To
    night 
    I'm going to 
    play 
    it straight, 

    I'm 
    going to 
    take 
    my 
    chance, 
    want 
    to 
    dance 

    Verse 7

    So 
    put your 
    hands 
    on your 
    hips, 

    bring your 
    knees 
    in 
    tight 

    Yeah we 
    do this 
    shit together 
    man, 

    no 
    fists, 
    no 
    fights 

    We're 
    not 
    trying 
    to 
    shape the 

    world 
    so 
    people 
    think 
    like 
    us, 

    We 
    just 
    want 
    our own 
    space 
    to dance, 

    no 
    fa
    vors 
    no 
    fuss 

    On blood 
    sweat 
    and 
    vinyl 
    we 

    have a built ourselves 
    a house, 

    So if the 
    roof 
    is on 
    fire 
    then we're 

    going 
    to put it 
    out 

    Forget 
    about 
    the 
    bitching 
    and remember 

    that 
    you're blessed, 

    Punk 
    is for the 
    kids 
    who never 
    fit 
    in with the 
    rest, 

    alright 

    Somebody 
    told 
    me that 
    music 
    with guitars 

    Was 
    going 
    out of 
    fashion, 

    and I 
    had to 
    laugh 

    This 
    shit 
    wasn't 
    fashionable 

    when I 
    fell 
    in love, 

    If 
    the hipsters 
    move on 

    why should 
    give a 
    fuck? 

    Verse 8
    want to dance, 
    want 
    to 
    dance, 

    I want 
    me some 
    lust 
    and love 
    and a smattering 

    of that 
    old 
    time 
    romance 

    But 
    I'm no 
    good 
    at 
    dancing, 

    yet 
    have to 
    do something 

    To
    night 
    I'm going to 
    play 
    it straight, 

    I'm going to 
    take 
    my 
    chance 

    Yeah, 
    I want 
    to 
    dance, 
    want 
    to 
    dance 

    want 
    me and 
    you 
    both 
    to join 
    hands 

    down 
    at 
    the front 

    So 
    the next 
    time I 
    see 
    you, 

    remember 
    these 
    words 
    so 

    We'll 
    sing 
    like the 
    barricades 
    are down, 

    and we'll 
    dance 
    like 
    no 
    one's around, 

    Singing 
    four 
    simple 
    words

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
