ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "No Dancing"

Oh I know that she
Has made 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
There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing
There's gonna be no dancing when they get home


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 the girl is not so easy to please

Oh oh, 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
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 now you see

How can it be.
Why can't you give me anythin' but sympathy?"


There's gonna be no dancing
There's gonna be no dancing
There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing
There's gonna be no dancing on my own
