about

Romance...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I've oiled my feet again
Ready for this dance
I’ve opened up my smile again
I’ve closed my eyes and breathe in
Mmm, look into my eyes
Just a little more
yes

I didn’t look the right way
I reach out for you, and you join me

Improve your looking, and see the best in
people

It’s perfectly obvious
that it’s both the most important thing
and completely irrelevant

As everyone who knows me will say
many things are much better than they were

Drag me off, no not drag, just look at me
and smile
and I’ll come willingly

Skipping around
being good
being bad, messing me up
and tripping me over
sitting me out
…moving me around
doing it

On the street and making it
swishing around with you
tell us what you know
and what you presume to be true

there’s a balmy breeze
but what does barmy mean
I suppose it’s soothing
rather than insane

Transcendental Dancing Medication

it
could
be proved
that
you
are
good
news

All the best ways haven’t been tried and failed
of course not!
it’s beautiful

There are a lot of different ways to do things

swing, swing, sway, sway, hold on
don’t fall over!

I
only
really
know
this one

welcome back…

Everything is perfect, but it’s not…
it’s difficult to be optimistic
without coming over very simplistic
and in fact
it’s not very artistic, not to be a cynic
give it a try

Happily, my feet have taken me over to you
come on
let’s have a dance…
