Tango Shoes

Bif Naked

When we're together
I am alone
I doddle down the street
Shuffle my feet
Don't want to go home

There's an antique store
I go inside
All I got on me is only 20 bucks
And my pride
That's when I see them

My new tango shoes
There are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes

Like Cinderella
I am transformed
Suddenly I'm taller your smaller
I am reborn
With new courage
I go downtown
To find you sitting at our table
Girls all around
And they see my

My new tango shoes
They are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes

See my sexy man in my process
Right before your angry eyes
I stick around close in between my lips
I turn on my heel
And dance out of your life

You told me you love me
That was untrue
Now that were over
This dance is for you
Tango

My new tango shoes
They are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes
They are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes

    Just wanted to correct some of your lyrics since this damn site won't let me post any. "I doddle down the street shop, for my feet don't wanna go home" "All I got on me is only 20 bucks and my pride" "I see my sexy man among voices" "I turn around and dance out of your life" That's all :*)

    =] agrees with sixedheart. I kinda see my own tango shoes as one friend of mine whos a bit of an optimist and always pushes me and tries to motivate me. Even when im having the shittiest time. XD i suppose its how people interpret it. Its an ace song though. x x

    I'm a dood and I can relate to this. I mean it isnt really about Tango Shoes. It could be about anything. Something you find that'll lift your spirits after a really hard break up. I dunno...thats what it means to me.

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
