[nancy, spoken]
why are you so scared to show me
+ to show anyone +
who you are when you’re not putting on a f+cking show?!

[oliver, spoken]
oh nancy, darling, baby, ain’t it obvious?
i mean, you already said it kid…
it’s because i’m like a disco ball!

[oliver, sung]
yeah i’m a disco ball
i spin and give you all a party feeling, (oooh)
i’m sparkly and i’m fun
and crucially i’m hung… from the ceiling

[oliver, sung]
you’re far away from me
if you weren’t, well it would be such a pity, (oooh)
cus when people get too close, +oof+
baby, heaven knows it ain’t pretty

[oliver, sung]
so i never let ‘em get too close
never let ‘em stay too long
to see me in the light, (the cold harsh light)
gotta keep it all goin’
gotta keep ‘em from knowing
what’s inside…
[oliver, sung]
so i spin and i spin and i spin
dazzling like i’m a disco ball
and i stay far away, up above
and you love it + i’m a disco ball!

[oliver, sung]
if i slowed, let you close
you would notice i’m nothing like you thought i was at all
but no one notices, (no)
cus everybody’s dancing round the disco ball!

[oliver, sung]
watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
like i’m a disco ball
watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
like i’m a disco ball

[oliver, sung]
yeah i knew long ago
if i don’t put on a show
don’t keep their distance, (no)
people can + you know, (disappointment) (f+g) (h0m+)
just for instance…

[oliver, sung]
when i have let people in
there has tended to have been a bit of blow back. (oooh)
like (we can f+ck but i’m not g+y) (i wish you’d dress a different way)
oh such a throwback!
[oliver, sung]
but if i keep it all going
if i keep it all glowing
it’s great for you and i! (for everyone)
cus i’ve never gotta show yo+ou
it really isn’t all (whoop whoop) inside

[oliver, sung]
so i spin and i spin and i spin
dazzling like i’m a disco ball!
so the me that you see
isn’t real + no big deal
you love a disco ball!

[oliver, sung]
cus when i spin spin spin
in the club no one ever sees the cracks at all!
no one notices, (no)
cus everybody’s dancing round the disco ball

[oliver, sung]
watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
like i’m a disco ball
watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
like i’m a disco ball
[oliver, spoken]
hey is this thing on? +knock knock+
how’s it going folks? (woo)
thank you so much for coming out
oh, if i had a penny for every time i heard that when i was fourteen +
i’d have no pennies +badum ts+ (laughter)

[oliver, spoken]
so i’ve got this friend, lets call her + nancy + cus that’s her name
and she’s all… why you gotta put on a show all the time
maybe you should be more vulnerable
well, kid, it ain’t gonna happen! (aww)

[oliver, spoken]
cus when you grow up in + what’s it called + oh the world in which we live
you know, where you call each other g+y in the playground
you don’t even know what it means
but you just know it’s the worst possible insult

[oliver, spoken]
and everytime you bob on the tele there’s a comedy
with someone throwing up because they didn’t realise the woman they were kissing is trans
well, when you grow up in that world…
you’re gonna kind of have it instilled in ya
that queerness is about as embarrassing, disgusting, unnatural, immoral, and wrong…
as pineapple on pizza! (laughter)

[oliver, spoken]
and then if one day + uh oh + you slowly start to suspect that that is what you are
unchangeably at your core + well!
you’re going to learn to apply all those pesky little words + anyone?
(wrong, disgusting, embarrassing, etc.)
you’re gonna learn to apply them all to yourself baby
and that is all before you give anyone else the chance…

[oliver, spoken]
but it’s all good, it’s all groovy
because you can just turn yourself into a little disco ball baby
cus sure, n0body wants to see the broken ugly pieces of a disco ball up close
but they don’t mind them so much when they’re making the room sparkle!

[oliver, sung]
so who cares +
why those guys would not be seen with me
why no one wants the authentic me
why those strangers threw that sh+t at me
why the words hurt but deep down i don’t disagree
why everyone i love’s ashamed of me
why my parents wouldn’t look at me
why it’s only dark inside of me + when i can disco ball it all away!

[oliver, sung]
so i spin and i twirl to the world all i am is a disco ball
so i’m fractured and cracked
that’s exactly what attracts you to a disco ball
i know its fake and the toll that it takes kinda makes me think that it’s not sustainable
but it’s alright because at least for the night they’ll keep dancing round the disco ball!

[oliver, sung]
so come on, here i am, who’s gonna use me like i’m a disco ball
you can’t love me for me + that’s okay
you can love me like a disco ball
i know i’m hanging on by a thread and any minute there’s a risk of fall

[oliver, sung]
got no choice cus i know i’m so much better off if i’m a disco ball
if someone proves me wrong how ‘bout you say you wouldn’t choose a disco ball
who’d prefer all of this ugliness to the party + woo, disco ball!

[oliver, sung]
not me, that’s for sure, you think you’re not a fan, i’m really not a fan at all
so come on, let’s everybody dance around the disco ball

[oliver, sung]
watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
like i’m a disco ball
watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
like a stupid f+cking disco ball

[oliver, sung]
watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
like i’m a disco ball!
