Lyrics
Storm knocks the power out Whole street comes running out Torches in the air Dance floor everywhere Torches up, torches up Blackout party, fill your cup Torches up, torches up Dance till the lights come up Neighbour brings a drum Auntie hums a tune Horns blow in the dark Kids run round the park Torches up, torches up Blackout party, fill your cup Torches up, torches up Dance till the lights come up Who needs a switch When the horns can pitch Torches up Torches up, torches up Blackout party, fill your cup Torches up, torches up Dance till the lights come up Torches up Torches up
