No Dancing
Elvis Costello
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 own1977 British Punk chameleon classic rock college rock Garage Rock glam rock list metal new wave night poprock powerpop proto punk psychedelic pub rock punk rnr rock Rock Roll rock-protopunk singersongwriter stiff surf rock tracks
