No Dancing lyrics
Song information
Artist: Elvis Costello Album: My Aim Is True
Lyrics
Oh I know that she Has mad a fool of him Like girls have done so many nights before Time and time again Life is so strange I don't know why But somebody Somebody has to cry There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
No dancing There's gonna be no dancing There's gonna be no dancing on my own
Now he's telling her Every little thing he's done; Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks Now he's read every one He's such a drag He's not insane It's just that everybody Has to feel his pain There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
He's getting down on his knees He finds that her brother's not so easy to please After all, his nights were just a paper striptease She's caught it like some disease If he says no dancing There's gonna be no dancing on my own
She can't even speak to him He can't face her now He says "even though I wanna shake your hand All I ever do is bow So know you see How can it be? Why can't you give me anythin' but sympathy?" There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
No dancing There's gonna be no dancing There's gonna be no dancing on my own
