Dexys Midnight Runners

Songwriter: Jim Paterson Kevin Rowland

Oh, what's the matter?
Oh no. It's no better
I've been thinking it out and it still gets no better
I'm here singing this out and these thoughts get no fresher
All in all I'd say things have turned out good
You still don't smile at me but then I never thought you would
You don't waste time on praise. Do you sir?
But you should be proud to be sure
No sir. It's still no better oh sir, I thought you meant better
Your experience will teach me no more lessons
From lower down you just seemed so much better
All in all I'd say things have turned out good
You still don't smile at me but then I never thought you would
You don't waste time on praise, when you could
Or just tell me something. anything. good
Oh no look it's still no better
No no these thought are no fresher
You see tenderness is the asset here lacking
But won't you join me in this one last wild waltz
Just once again in the one last wild waltz
Anduici tú mé san damsa fión
Anduici tú mé san damsa fión
Round and round, and round and round...
Round and round, and round and round...
Anduici tú mé san damsa fión
Anduici tú mé san damsa fión

Dexys Midnight Runners (currently officially Dexys, their common nickname; sometimes styled with and sometimes without an apostrophe) are an English pop band with soul influences, who achieved their major success in the early to mid-1980s. They are best known in the UK for their songs “Come On Eileen” and “Geno”, both of which peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as six other top-20 singles.

During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dexys went through numerous personnel changes over the course of three albums and thirteen singles, with only singer/songwriter/co-founder Kevin Rowland remaining in the band through all of the transitions and only Rowland and “Big” Jim Paterson (trombone) appearing on all of the albums. By 1985, the band consisted only of Rowland and long-standing members Helen O'Hara (violin) and Billy Adams (guitar). The band broke up in 1987, with Rowland becoming a solo artist. After two failed restart attempts, Dexys was reformed by Rowland in 2003 with new members, as well as a few returning members from the band’s original lineup (known as Dexys Mark I). Dexys released their fourth album in 2012 and a fifth followed in 2016.
