Rip it up, yeah, get on the dancefloor, that's what it's there for. Well, it might be but that doesn't mean i'm going anywhere near it. How does it work, the popularity of dancefloor songs? Or dancefloors for that matter. I can think of fewer subjects duller. It must be some sort of name recognition, "hey this song's about dancing on dancefloors, why don't we go and dance on a dancefloor?" In context logical i suppose, but then why torture the general population by playing it on the radio all day? For me dancefloors were always dark and distressing places, and the clubs like prisons which i'd paid for the privilege of entering, from which there was rarely any escape till the bitter end. And so i thought an alternative dancefloor anthem to redress the balance, for those who hang around its edges feeling awkward, inadequate, and quite possibly bored. I can't be the only one, can I?
i tell you that i
feel like a tit on the dancefloor
i don't know what to do with my hands or
i don't know what my feet are for
have to get me real'
drunk to get me on the dancefloor
i don't know how to move my hips or
how to look like i'm enjoying it at all
do you fancy pretty
boys who look good on the dancefloor?
don't know if you're looking for romance or
if dancing should be 'gainst the law
for you flirting's
pretty easy on the dancefloor
but you won't be looking twice at me for
my dancing's pretty poor
i'd rather be alone
than spend the night on the dancefloor
i'd rather stay home and have a wank or
watch lost on channel four
yes, i hate to get
dragged up on the dancefloor
though i'll jump around and more
behind my bedroom door
or perhaps I should loosen up a bit.....
