ALSKA’s second studio single, ‘Thick of the Night’ is an explosively-energetic rock-ska fusion song that was raised on the Sheffield nightlife scene.
lyrics
The doors are open and the lights are dim
We know exactly where to begin
There’s a look shared among our eyes and they know whats up when we walk in
And that's just what we expect
Just what we expect
That's just what we expect
It’s just what we expect
You know we never forget
You can join us if that's what you’d like
In the thick of the night
There’s a place down the road we go
Where everyone in the building knows
Down in the dark where the music plays
Yeah, the people like to put on a show
I’ll show you around the den
Where all the boys and girls are well zen
Have a drink have a smoke on us coz we know that you’ll be back again
And that's just what we expect
Just what we expect
That's just what we expect
It's just what we expect
You know we never forget
You can join us if that's what you’d like
In the thick of the night
Under lights through the sweat and the grime
It's hard to remember the time
But through the masses and the sodden floor
Events are laid out by design
And that's just what we expect
Just what we expect
That’s just what we expect
Just what we expect
We never forget
You can join us if that's what you’d like
In the thick of the night
