I couldn't decide if I'd take the drink's view, or the drinker's view,
....... but mixing them together worked well. ;)

New Order
Substance

Blue Thursday

[* A guy's drink starts talking... *]
How does it feel to dance just like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me
And shown me to all your friends
[* Guy as if confused... *]
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard it speak
[* directed at the drink in sarcastic voice *]
Tell me how do I dance
Tell me now, how should I dance?

[* directed at the listener *]
Those who danced before me
Lived through their-inebriation
>From the past until completion     [* people shown chugging drinks *]
They'll turn away no more
[* directed at the bottle *]
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should dance today?

[* directed at the listener. Guy puts the talking bottle on the table *]
I see a drink on the table
[* drink gets kocked onto the floor and spills *]
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for its misfortune
I'd be a drunker person today
[* directed at the listener *]
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard it speak
[* directed at spilled drink *]
Tell me how do I dance
Tell me now, how should I dance?

[* directed at a dance-at-joes group walking down Green Street *]
Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to meet me
Just walk down to 5th street
You must express how you feel
Come and dance at Joes!
