Do you wanna go dancin?
In a club?
We could have a good time and live it up.
Said if you wanna go dancing you gotta wear a tuxedo
And we could do the tango wherever we go
Said if you wanna do the tango then we're gonna need a ballroom
So she took me by the hand and led me to her bedroom
And then she did it...stripped me half naked
And told me that her body was sacred.
She said I could take it, if I danced with her
But somehow I knew that she was an indian giver

I said "what about tomorrow?"
She said "what about tonight?"
She said "trust me baby-it'll be alright"

She walked in wearin stiletto boots
First woman, wedding, then honeymoon,
This girl that I thought I knew so well...
Didn't know her until we hit the hotel
And we're on the dancefloor, by the seashore
She said "these nights we dance together is what I live for"
I said "what about before, before these nights?"
She said "ask me no questions and i'll tell you no lies"

I said "what about tomorrow?"
She said "what about tonight?"
Trust me baby it'll be alright

And so we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced
So we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced -all night.

12 o' clock the music stopped (music fades out to silence)
She walked away from me and took her shoes off
And she said "thats it"
And I knew it,
She said "we can't dance without music." (music starts up again)

I said "we can dance tomorrow"
She said "we've already danced tonight, trust me baby you'll be alright"
It'll be alright.
It'll be alright.

    This song is catchy, toe tappin' and easy to listen to. His voice is calm and lovely... oh, to have him in my ear whispering sweet nothings. I'd dance with him, anytime, anywhere, anyway! :)

    This post has a lot of the lyrics wrong. "And then she did it, stripped me half naked." "But somehow I knew that she was an Indian giver." "She said, trust me baby, it'll be alright." "She walked in wearing stiletto boots." "She said, trust me baby, it'll be alright."

    I agree with the above post that this song is about sex but I feel it's a little bit more than that. Like this guy really likes this girl that he's sleeping with and she tells him that she really likes him and wants to be with him. She only wants to commit to that day and he wants more from her so eventually she just leaves him.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
