238. Elevate My Mind by Stereo MCs 1990

ELEVATE MY MIND

After the Lizard Lounge closed at 3am that would be the time to go out. There weren't many places to go to and one of the few places we'd go to would be the Lounge in Swanston Street. I had a membership  cos we also used to head there after Rubber Soul and Beehive but that was the more reasonable hour of midnight. anyway at 4am in the morning the place was still packed. still people dancing. Still drinking. I had a convertible Golf and I used to panic cos I would have to leave it outside with all my records in the back and really it would be easy to lift the cover off the car and just take them. I would drink on the balcony to keep an eye on them at first but gradually I would be sucked inside and not bother. The nights takings from the club would be stuffed in my pockets.
when I hear this song I'm taken right back there. sometimes I'd dance to it. Mostly i'd be at the bar chatting away about any old rubbish. Stereo Mcs laid down a really good groove. I couldn't wait to get my own copy to play at Lizard but we were a bit alternative to begin with. But then we got in the groove. Put up some sheets and projected slide shows. Played some cool dance and everything was alright.
