Set The Record Straight Lyrics
On the floor can you feel it?
Yes definitely.
On the floor can you feel it?
I've been here moving all night.
On the floor do you mean it?
Does it really matter?
On the floor can you feel it?
Oh, I can.
I need a time that's physical,
the moment's yours you have it,
You are the one that I adore,
and you can see I want it.
Some people born to criticise,
it's just a song get on it,
Do not forget you're an animal,
so let it out.
I've got to feel it
and set the record straight.
Because I'm singing
to set the record straight.
On the floor can you feel it?
I've been smiling loads
On the floor can you feel it?
Yeah,
I've come a long way from my home.
On the floor do you mean it?
Why sure,
I put a foot in my mouth sometime.
On the floor can you feel it?
I can feel all right.
I need a time that's physical,
the moments yours you have it,
You are the one that I adore,
and you can see I want it.
Some people born to criticise,
it's just a song get on it.
Do not forget I'm animal so let it out.
I've got to feel it,
to set the record straight.
Because I'm singing
to set the record straight.
I'd open your mind
but you've got to find it.
All I say to you,
is don't criticise
because you half don't mind it.
All good things to you,
I'd open your mind
but you've got to find it.
all I say to you.
I've got to feel it and
Set the record straight,
Because I'm singing
set the record straight.
Yes definitely.

i herd this song as a theme tune n realy liked it not sure wot its about i get the feeling of an arguement
i can't believe this is the only reef song listed on here........ i must add more!!!!
i love this, great 'in the car' song :D
In my opinion, this song is not so much about an arguement, as it is about music in general, and how it has the ability to be something undefinable. Something that can not be grasped by critique. Music has an aspect that is described in the song as physical. It has an impact on you, an can make you want to get out on the dancefloor. Hence the comment "don't criticise" and "open your mind". The opening song on the album, and probably one of the better. However, songs from the album seem a bit "polished" in comparison with the earlier albums. Give me the B-sides instead...
It reads like an argument between the singer/songwriter and a person (girlfriend?) he's trying to impress, but she doesn't like the music he does. He seems to be saying that the only thing that matters is how it makes you feel on the dance floor. He's pretty unapologetic about his opinions ("I put a foot in my mouth sometime"), but he's also trying to convince the someone "I adore". He also seems to be telling her not to be influenced by others who are "born to criticise". This song is really up-tempo to get the blood pumping and was also the theme for TV drama 'Redcap'. Great piece of music.
