Knights Forever - The Bennies

It all started about 20 past 4 in the afternoon

The sun was high in the sky and so was I

I had my speakers on and Toots was telling me that it is you

I invite my friends round to have a drink

And before too long we were dancing

As the sun set somewhere over in Collingwood

With a can in each hand we went out into the night

Into that ever-familiar Melbourne city lights

Don’t you wish these nights go on forever

Now the clock strikes 10 past 10

It seems like a good a reasons as any do go and do some shots

But all we really wanted to do was to smoke some pot

So we made our way through the beer garden

Through the haze of conversation and tobacco smoke

To find ourselves underneath the tree

To smoke a little Sensi-Mi

And now onto the dancefloor looking for much much more

As Mike Skinner sings the line — Will we become heroes

Don’t you wish these nights go on forever

Now it reaches that point in the night

Where it ain’t no longer a point in the night

People have started dropping off like flies

The only ones left, they got too high, hey

So we walk out of the bar shielding our eyes

And avoiding the gaze of those who have started their day

We make our way far too tired to talk

So we spark up a joint to ease the thought of having to sleep

These moments get lost cos our memory’s been a blur

Like a sense and feeling it will go on forever

These nights are not rare and that is not why we care

We are who we are and that is more than enough

Cos people around me make me feel alive

And I’ve got a feeling that I’ll never die

Cos people around me make me feel alive

And I’ve got a feeling that I’ll never die

Don’t you wish these nights go on forever

Don’t you wish these nights go on forever
