Dancing With Strangers

Now there's no storyline
Just a real good time
And i don't want to seem to be mistaken
But there's a tale to tell
On this road to hell
It's in between the lines the case i'm making

Oh, lord, look my way
Save me from these crazy things i see
I don't know what's going on round here these days
But i can't dance to that
Oh, i can't dance to that
So let me dance to this
'cos i can't dance to that

If you'll excuse me please
You see i got to go
And take myself before i'm past redemption
A voice is calling out
As if i didn't know
This wretched road is paved with good intentions
All the way
Down this judas track
I know it so well
And i ain't going back
I don't know what happened to the good time songs
But i can't dance to that
Oh, i can't dance to that
So let me dance to this
'cos i can't dance to that

Tell me what you know
Take away these chains
What stood in front of me it looks so pretty
But i can't dance to a cold machine
Oh, lord, and every drummer you know just what i mean
Oh, i can't dance to that
So let me dance to this

There's a time and place everywhere i go
Where the river meets the sea
Somewhere between the gates of dreams
And the turning of the key
There's a cutting edge there's a real fine line
And it's caught in come and go
And you're leaving what you thought you knew
To what you've come to know
When the twilight turns at the end of day
And the angels kiss the moon
There's a diamond sun everywhere she goes
And there ain't no other way
I'm gonna dream tonight
By that pale moonlight
Till the morning comes my way

I'm walking tall
And i'm walking fine
And i'm up there
With that girl of mine

And i'm standing in the twilight now
Yeah i'm standing by her side
Oh i'm gazing in that gate of dreams
Underneath that midnight sky
'cos there's a diamond sun everywhere she goes
And there ain't no other way
I'm gonna dream tonight
By that pale moonlight
Till the morning comes my way

I'm walking tall
And i'm walking fine
And i'm up there
With that girl of mine

She talks like thunder
She really lets you know
She keep changing the rules
And leave you nowhere to go
She bore you rigid with the party line
She's so far left she's gonna get left behind

He wants six pretty white spots on each side of the dice
He wants it all to be equal but he needs to throw twice
Now there's a guy in the corner with a smiling gaze
He turns to me and says
I'm gonna buy a hat
'cos i think it's gonna rain
Got caught out coming here
Ain't gonna get caught again
I'm gonna buy a big one
Like that mr gorbachov
And when it's raining all this crap
Oh my hat will keep it off

Now take a look at all them leaders
Desperation in their eyes
The tight faces smiles that cannot hide it
They know no more than you or i

So i'm gonna buy a hat
'cos here they come again
And when the start to blah-blah
It's you and me that gets the rain

When you sing of the joy only love can bring
Heaven knows it's in my heart and my soul
Caught in a world full of tears
So many bad times and fears
So while there's a chance and you're near

Let's dance
Let's dance

There's a world far away from the one we see
There's a dream i will never let go
One thing is certainly true
This moment's for me and for you
So while there's not a thing that we can do

Let's dance
Let's dance

It's been so long now since we first met
But the time and place i will never forget
Darling, never

Trough good and bad we stood the tested time
You say i'm yours and darling you're still mine
Forever

So smile for me
'cos it's there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

And i'll keep holding on girl i won't let go
I want you near me where ever i go
Please say, forever

And i give thanks for what you've given me
And in my heart girl there'll always be
A light
That shines through the darkest night
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

So smile for me
'cos it's there for all to see
After all this time
Through the rain and tears
After all this time
After all these years
I'm only loving you again

Through the rain and tears
Till the sun dries up the sea
Till the rivers they run dry
I'm gonna be loving you again

Your head spins round on a monday
And the daylight's in your eyes
How you laughed and cursed tomorrow
Now he's standing by your side
You touched the stars at midnight
The whole world seem to shout 'hello'
Now your throat is tired and heavy
And only one can go

I'll be all right though i may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that i would rather be with you now
And every time i see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever september blue

I'll be all right though i may cry
The tears that flow they always dry
It's just that i would rather be with you now
And every time i see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever september blue
'cos i'll always love you
September blue
