Dance lyrics

She'll take a slowcar to China
She'll pay the rent for the use of you
She'll take a slowcar to China
She'll pay the rent for the use of you tonight.

We are not afraid to love, but no new ideas
You almost get used to such things you know.
The mechanics on the phone again, we break down.
The others you'd remember if I could spare some time.

In love with this elegant bitch

Boys watch from windows tonight
I'm not surpriesed to see you waiting here
You keep them in business just supplying you
Get in the car I've something to say

Stay in bed why waste my time
Open your eyes but only if you can
Office in a sidestreet is no place for you
Night talk and romance like beat the clock.

Boys like me aren't supposed to cry
But it's so easy to do

Why cry now
It's over
Feelings change

How are you
Now am I
Cry, the clock said

I know little of romance
And these little tract houses
I know seven less of you
And if you should ever think of me
Maybe as a game you lost
Well someone I know lost the whole damn world
No more this talk of they're out to get me
Just slide out of Sydney and I can never go back

How could I be surprised

You are distraction
Like pictures on the wall
I don't like eyes
You are attraction
It gets to be routine
You're up I'm down

She's got claws
But the factory knows
We're dreams in cold storage
We could dance the night away

You say you love me
Maybe you do
A patience I can't steal
I don't believe you
You said 'straight'
It's like giving up hope

Here on the ground
On the floor

Don't things change
Don't we all
What's it like to
Crash? The driver

Nothing more to prove
So please just send in the machines
We know little of celebrations
And how things are with you
You're hung up on time
You're hung up on age
Now there's me
Now there's me
What is it like to
Crash? The driver

You drink to rumours and talk
About someone new in your bed
There is no game to win so

Listen Zara
Boys like me
We get used to
Things like you

Boys like me
We don't understand
Lies like yours

Listen Zara
Boys like me
From rags to riches
Bleed for you

Boys like me
Regret things sometimes
Things like you

Listen Zara
Boys like me
We are short stories
Shapes for you

Boys like me
We live in dreams
But they'ew yours not ours.

She sits in the corner
Where it's reasonably quiet
Drinking coffee with cream
Thinking stories of young love
She calls to the waiter
'Won't you lend me some time?
You can sit by my side
And I'll let you be friends with mine.'

The cafe is old
But the candlelight's new
She orders Beaujolais wine
And says 'I've thought of you too'

She whispers 'Isn't it odd
You remind me of songs

Sometimes they try to forget and sometimes they do
Giving love for the financial gain
She's so good with excuses and incorrect reasons
I'm tired of trying to win and you're tired of me

She knows how to stand in the corner
And whisper the words that you need
She knows how to stand in the corner
And whisper the words with that cynical charm
We could dance
Now it's my brother's time

You are you are
Hopefully mistaken
Like old ties
You'll soon be broken down
Like all the rest who tried

You are you are
Something quite surprising
Story's odd
Concerning love
The scene will change for you, you know

You are you are
Just a good reflection
Nothing more
You'd like to take me for the world
To see you leave

You are you are
A living exhibition
Defying age
Like a seasoned veteran

These New Romantics are oh so boring
I could swear I've been there once or twice before
I should grow wings and just forget the club
You know the legends never wanted to be me
For too erratic to be O.K. so?
If you're concerned well I don't care
You play games, you play safe
Me I just sighed with relief

Matthew's mother. The change disturbs me
You've everybody's friend. Age, I suppose

So here am I quite by chance near the phone
I could call and make you crawl into bed
Questions always questions
I'll just speak in slow motion,
About obsessions with boys on the floor.

Take that smile off your face,
Wipe that tear from your eye,
Don't say you're sorry for me.

Now look at me like a stormtrooper in drag
And I'll let you feel exactly like I do,

What’s it like to be face to face with me?
Playing tricks with hearts quite as young as yours
Do you know what the reunion pays for you?
Do you feel like I’m supposed to do?

I could be love
I could be your assassin. I don’t know

Pictures of my face dissappear with time
They gave boys to quite tasteless friends of mine

No more than chance,
I'm told it's quite surprising
I could walk out and just impress myself
I need to hurt,
I need to crash for my sake
You are something
that I could do without

And I could always
take the pills and leave
But you have to stay awake
to stay away
And I would die for you
And I would cry too
And I would sing like rain
And I would find you

I dream of rumours

Applicant, I am
Clean young flesh
Cubicles, we merge
And me so decent

Lock up my vehicle
Crack my walls
I'm stealing new words
And me so honest

Someone took pictures
Just look at her go
Her presence exhausted me
Like spectators we are

I have no address
'Who are you?'
Kiss my arse goodbye
The show goes rusty.

Simulate phone call
Face to face
Newspaper loose talk
You wreck my dreams
