From the recording Abandoned singles 25/26
“We Had Fun Last Night” is a fast, dance-driven track rooted in the spirit of ’80s new wave club culture. Built on a relentless rhythm, melodic basslines, and clean, chorus-soaked guitars, the song captures the fleeting euphoria of late nights under neon lights , where movement, music, and emotion briefly outweigh the weight of the day.
Drawing from the energy and atmosphere of early new wave and post-punk dance floors, the track balances nostalgia with a colder, darker edge. It’s a song about the joy of the moment and the quiet melancholy that follows, echoing the sound and feeling of underground clubs where the night never quite wants to end.
Created as an homage to the era when new wave was both emotional and physical, “We Had Fun Last Night” invites you to dance first , and feel later.
Lyrics
Neon streets and borrowed time,
Your hand slipped into mine.
The city breathed in flashing light,
We disappeared inside the night.
The music louder than our doubts,
Every fear was drowned out.
We laughed like nothing could go wrong,
Like we were young, like we were strong.
We had fun last night,
Under broken lights.
We had fun last night,
Till the morning burned our eyes.
We had fun last night,
But it never lasts.
We had fun last night,
Now it’s already past.
Cigarette smoke, cheap perfume,
Dancing in a crowded room.
Your shadow moved in perfect time,
Every step erased the line.
The DJ played another song,
I wished the night would carry on.
We forgot about the fall,
We pretended not to know it all.
We had fun last night,
Spinning out of sight.
We had fun last night,
Lost between the wrong and right.
We had fun last night,
In electric blue.
We had fun last night,
But the daylight knew.
The sun comes up, the room feels strange,
Everything we felt has changed.
You don’t look the way you did,
When the night still let us live.
We had fun last night,
Under neon skies.
We had fun last night,
Now the silence lies.
We had fun last night,
Just before the fall.
We had fun last night,
That’s the truth of it all.
We had fun last night,
But it never lasts.
We had fun last night,
Now it’s already past.
Now it’s already past
We forgot about the fall,
We pretended not to know it all.
But it never lasts.
We had fun last night,
Now it’s already past.
