Dancing Shoes

Arctic Monkeys

Get on your dancing shoes

There's one thing on your mind

Hoping they're looking for you

Sure you'll be rummaging' through

And the shit, shock, horror

You've seen your future bride

Oh, but it's oh so absurd

For you to say the first word

So you're waiting and waiting

The only reason that you came

So what you scared for?

don't you always do the same

It's what you there for, don't you know

...the lights are flashing

Down in here tonight

And some might exchange a glance

But keep pretending to dance

Don't act like it's not happening

As if it's impolite

To go and mention your name

Instead you'll just do the same

As they all do, and hope for the best...

The only reason that you came

So what you scared for?

Well don't you always do the same

It's what you're there for but no

Get on your dancing shoes

You sexy little swine

Hoping they're looking for you

Sure you'll be rummaging through

Oh and the shit, shock, horror

You've seen your future bride

Oh, but it's oh so absurd

For you to say the first word

So you're waiting and waiting
