"Good Dancers" as written by and Steele....
Don't always dream for what you want
But I love to watch good dancers talk
My heart is stronger than you all
But I love to watch good dancers talk
The war's good and I'm so tired
Don't always dream for what you want
But I love to watch good dancers talk
My heart is stronger than you all
But I love to watch good dancers talk
The wars good and I'm so tired x4
When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now
When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now
Don't always dream for what you want
But I love to watch good dancers talk
(When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now)
My heart is stronger than you all
(When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now)
But I love to watch good dancers talk
(When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now)
But I love to watch good dancers talk
My heart is stronger than you all
But I love to watch good dancers talk
The war's good and I'm so tired
Don't always dream for what you want
But I love to watch good dancers talk
My heart is stronger than you all
But I love to watch good dancers talk
The wars good and I'm so tired x4
When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now
When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now
Don't always dream for what you want
But I love to watch good dancers talk
(When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now)
My heart is stronger than you all
(When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now)
But I love to watch good dancers talk
(When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now)

maybe the good dancers line, is about confidence..
These are perhaps the most confusing lyrics I have ever encountered. So short, and so weird. I think the only way to interpret is line by line, each with entirely seperate meanings.
'Don't always dream for what you want'
I like this line. It has an interesting truth about it- I think what it means is, what we want is not always what we need, or what we get in the end. It would be more logical, then, to not dream for what we want.
'But I love to watch good dancers talk'
I think their must be something significant about good dancers talking. Dancers use their bodies mainly in their proffession- entirely physical performers. And so, to watch good dancers talk, when we normally see them performing with their bodies, would be an interesting experience. Perhaps this line is about seeing people in a different light, a light that you never thought you could see them. Like good dancers talking when we never here their voices on stage. Similarly, watching geography teachers at a theme park or little kids on World Vision ads helping people would have the same effect.
'My heart is stronger than you all'
This line is weird, and slightly pretentious. Perhaps, though, it is the speaker being self-assuring. Maybe the line means, 'you can't break me, I'm too strong inside'. Kind of like when insects colour themselves to look poisonous. This line is a warning, saying that his heart is not just strong, but stronger than you all.
'The war's good and I'm so tired'
I may be reading far too much into this line, but I don't think it's about literal war. I think it's saying that a conflict is good- perhaps the conflict in a relationship? Or perhaps the conflict in his life is good? And then the 'I'm so tired' part means that though this conflict is good for him, it tires him out. I always feel it means this when I listen to the song. Something in his tone, maybe?
'When you think with your mind you've got a place to go now.'
I think this means, when you actually stop and think, no, you aren't trapped. You always have a place to go. I'm not sure how the person feels restricted or trapped, but I think this means that tif they just thought for a moment they'd realise there were no restrictions on them. Alternatively, this line means that their mind is the place that they can go to escape. Like, escaping into your imagination.
So there's what I think the song means, even though it's only peices of the meaning. Perhaps the entire meaning is so deep down that only Lukey-boy himself understands its meaning.
good dancers talk? I would assume 'talking with their bodies' who knows....
love the song, its fun to play and sing, maybe not as high as the jackson do, but whatever floats ya boat
the confidence dancers must have.. what do they talk about.. how do they talk.
This song clearly written from a natural introspective point of view..
