Elvis Costello - No Dancing текст песни

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 dont know why,

But somebody,

Somebody has to cry.

Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home.

No dancing,

Theres gonna be no dancing,

Theres gonna be no dancing on my own.

Now hes telling her

Every little thing hes done;

Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks.

Now hes read every one.

Hes such a drag.

Hes not insane.

Its just that everybody

Has to feel his pain.

Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home.

Hes getting down on his knees.

He finds that her brothers not so easy to please,

After all, his nights were just a paper striptease.

Shes caught it like some disease.

If he says no dancing,

Theres gonna be no dancing on my own.

She cant even speak to him.

He cant 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 cant you give me anythin but sympathy? "

Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home.

No dancing,

Theres gonna be no dancing,

Theres gonna be no dancing on my own.
