[First beat — soft house kick, smooth sustained sub-bass and a flowing synth melody] [8 bars — let the melody breathe over long bass notes] [8 bars — add light hi-hats; keep plenty of space between sounds] yeah [8 bars — simple snare enters; the full house groove settles] [Verse 1 — intimate, conversational vocal] Coats stacked behind the door We squeeze in past the bar The bass comes up through the floor I feel it in my shoes [8-bar instrumental — flowing synth melody answers the voice] [Verse 2 — keep the arrangement open beneath the vocal] Red light over the bar We're shoulder to shoulder yeah Someone laughs right in my ear I lose the words in the bass [16-bar instrumental build — vary the melody; bass stays smooth and restrained] [First refrain — late, soulful and unforced] Down at the Marquee The lights dip low And the whole room leans in [16-bar instrumental — fast clean 60s gutiar solo.melody leads; kick and warm sub-bass support it] [Verse 3 — more animated soul vocal] Glasses rattle on the tables Someone's dancing on a chair I spill a little on my sleeve Nobody notices but me [Second refrain — stronger soul voice, open arrangement] Let it roll Down at the Marquee Make a little space And let the rhythm through [Backing voices — one short answer] Let it roll [16-bar instrumental — opening melody develops over the steady groove] [Bridge — warm, gritty soul delivery] There's hardly room to breathe We dance where we can stand yeah The rhythm slips a little Then catches us again [8 bars — melody answers the voice; leave the low end spacious] [Outro — keep the complete house groove beneath every vocal passage] Lights coming up We're still on the floor One hand reaches for a coat Then turns back for more [8 bars — opening melody plays over the steady groove] Coats back in our hands Cold air through the door The bass keeps on rolling As we cross the floor [16 bars — drums and 60's fast clean and bright guitar answer the last line] Out on the pavement The night air hits my face My feet keep that rhythm Halfway down the street [8-bar instrumental — opening melody completes its phrase] I can still hear the bass [Final vocal line — soulful] I can still hear the bass [disco groove] I can still hear the bass [Resolve with a warm final chord and rounded bass note]
