Lyrics: I Can’t Dance To That
Album: Dancing With Strangers
Artist: Chris Rea
 

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
