Another Night at the palace,
Cause there is nothin' else ta do
The Same People, The same drinks and,
The same Music, the same quicksand.
I think this harbor town is waist deep and sinkin' fast
[Chorus]
Hello City, You've found an Enemy in me
Hello City, Hello City Hello City hey
Second night at the warehouse,
And my mock turtleneck just reeks,
From the Liquor room to the change room,
To the doom and gloom of the hotel room,
I think this seaside beer hall should sink into the Bay.
[Chorus]
Maybe I caught you at a bad time,
Maybe I should call you back next week,
Maybe half the fault is mine that the sun didn't shine on Barrington Street
It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and I'm hungry so let's eat
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Climb down three flights too the street lights, and the Bar fights,
We're just takin' in the sights,
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed
[Chorus: x2]
What a good place to be
Don't believe them, cause they speak a different language,
And it's Happy hour again
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
It's Happy hour again
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Chorus]
Hello city hey eh
Cause there is nothin' else ta do
The Same People, The same drinks and,
The same Music, the same quicksand.
I think this harbor town is waist deep and sinkin' fast
[Chorus]
Hello City, You've found an Enemy in me
Hello City, Hello City Hello City hey
Second night at the warehouse,
And my mock turtleneck just reeks,
From the Liquor room to the change room,
To the doom and gloom of the hotel room,
I think this seaside beer hall should sink into the Bay.
[Chorus]
Maybe I caught you at a bad time,
Maybe I should call you back next week,
Maybe half the fault is mine that the sun didn't shine on Barrington Street
It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and I'm hungry so let's eat
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Climb down three flights too the street lights, and the Bar fights,
We're just takin' in the sights,
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed
[Chorus: x2]
What a good place to be
Don't believe them, cause they speak a different language,
And it's Happy hour again
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
It's Happy hour again
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Chorus]
Hello city hey eh

Allowing myself to close my eyes again,
Until Enid kicks in ^^
and he blames it all on the city
And the sun never shines ANYWHERE in Halifax, from all the fog and rain. Urk.
It is a fave of the city noe because of a number of reasons..."Another night at tha Palace, cuz there's nothing else to do". I dare you to find a 20 something person in Halifax who has never uttered this line at least once. It is one of the biggest bars in the city and boasts live bands and large crowds. The unofficial name of this bar is the last chance for romance, because if you can't pick up here then you may as well join the priesthood or a nunnery.
"Cause they speak a diferent language' The maritime lingo can be a bit difficult to decipher if you aren't used to it
"It's happy hour again" Halifax has the most bars per capita than any city in North America
"Maybe half the fault was mine that the sun didn't shine on barrington street." There are a lot of trees and tall buildings along Barrington in the heart of downtown and the sun hardly ever does shine there

And it's never been happy for me.
It's Happy Hour again."
is taken from the song "Happy Hour" by the Housemartins which was the band which Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook), Dave Hemingway (Beautiful South) as well as Paul Heaton (Beautiful South) were all part of.
