lyrics

I NEVER DANCE

I found a photograph,
such a ghostly blur,
and there's the evidence -
we must have danced.
But no, something's wrong.

How do you remember us?
I wonder if you remember us,
and, if you do, it surely wasn't dancing.
You know I never dance.

I'd forgotten your face,
ditto my young face,
but, not those funny clothes -
the feel of mine,
the smell of yours.

There we were, spinning till we're sick.
There we are, frozen, like a fact.
But, the truth is, I never dance with no-one.
You know I never dance.

I burned a photograph
and blew away the ash.
You know, it's trickery -
how pictures paint
such rotten lies.

I don't believe you made me dance
in a place that doesn't exist.
I deny it. That never was me dancing.
You know I never, ever dance.
