The band is TIGHT. kudos to the drummer and bassist. They have that whole thing moving ahead. Drummers are so cool. This guy just looks like he’s at work playing the the keyboard with pens in his cubicle. Laying down the beat for a live act of a huge star but it’s really no big deal. Looks cool doing it too. Also gotta mention the girl on synth doing all the backup vocals. She’s making this song rich af. Kudos to guitarist. Didn’t want him feeling left out. Oh wait. He did backup too. Damn. Lots of talent here.
I love how when you see a drummer that’s off in their own world but still somehow totally more aware of what’s going on than anyone. Those are the good ones.

Nile Rodgers, ultimately. He produced Bowie's Let's Dance album and I think Notorious for Duran Duran. La roux used his influence in the first two singles of their 2nd album. It's a great sound. This single should have been a much bigger hit.
I have no actual girlfriend and I permanently lust for Elly Jackson who doesn't communicate with me except by singing. What is this world and who fooled us?
@@Randomiett actually she came out as lesbian quite recently. but she kept it lowkey because she was afraid coming out would affect her career and the unwanted attention from lesbians being up all over her
Does anyone know exactly what Ellie is saying? I always interpreted it as "all the blue lights start to hit the crowd," signifying a police response against a heated protest/beginnings of a full-scale riot.

She sounds so much stronger live than the actual track which is actually a compliment to her vocal skills.
Yep
Trouble in paradise is her best album idc
Kinda indisputable. CRIMINALLY underrated. I get sad thinking about people not knowing this sheer perfectionism exists
Pop music at its finest ❤
Elly sounds so good, along with her band. Cannot believe they are not making music now.
Back to the 80s. Love it.
I’m so glad she got such a big applause
Oh I’m so happy that made y glad
the drummer is on point

I remember seeing this live and shouting, she has new music out!? Awesome...
Pearl watches you sleep Since 2014 lol...
She’s currently working on her third record.
Oh Elly u are so amazing as its a joy to hear u sing your heart out with so much love & energy ❤😎
What happened to her, she was massive in the UK, then just disappeared in an instant, I think she's amazing 👏 😍
She released a third album independently 😍 Its soo good!!
Love the guitar riff. Live is amazing sound. So much fuller than the album.
Late to the party, but DAMN I’m loving her confidence in this one!
Bloody hell, amazing performance.
Increíble ❤
I love her shirt
Let's Dance!🕺🏼💃🏼
[Verse 1]
The streets are lined with people
People who want to move, move, move
How can all these people
Have so much to prove, prove, prove?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I can only ask myself
Oh, where are you all going?
And won't you take me with you to
Where all the sirens are blowing?
[Chorus]
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
[Verse 2]
The streets are lined with people
With nothing left to lose, lose, lose
When did all these people
Decide to change their shoes, shoes, shoes?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I can only ask myself
Oh, where are you all going?
And won't you take me with you to
Where all the sirens are blowing?
[Chorus]
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Uptight Downtown
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising
[Bridge]
(Uptight, uptight)
(Uptight, uptight)
(Uptight, uptight)

Uptight Downtown
Uptight Downtown
Uptight Downtown
Uptight Downtown
[Outro]
Why are we fighting? I don't understand
Oh, but the temperature's rising tonight
(Why are we fighting? I don't understand)
All the blue lights fighting with the crowds
And oh, I know the temperature is rising, is rising

You have the meaning correct. Though, it's "all the blue lights fighting with the crowds, and oh I know the temperature is rising."
It's a response to the London riots in 2011, apparently.
The reference about "changing shoes" relates to the looting of Footlocker stores during the 2011 riots.
А как же последний куплет???
