"Dancing Shoes" as written by and Alex Turner....
Get on your dancing shoes
There's one thing on your mind
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through
And the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for
Don't you always do the same
It's what you there for, don't you know
The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And some might exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance
Don't act like it's not happening
As if it's impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you'll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best ...
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for
Well don't you always do the same
It's what you're there for but no
Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting
There's one thing on your mind
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through
And the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for
Don't you always do the same
It's what you there for, don't you know
The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And some might exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance
Don't act like it's not happening
As if it's impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you'll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best ...
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for
Well don't you always do the same
It's what you're there for but no
Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting

I think it's about trying to pick up girls at dance clubs and finding it hard to make the first move.
By the way the "oooo yaaa" part actually says "but nooo!" even though it's there it's hard to make out on the first version but it's clear on the new album version. and the waaaaaaaaohhh is waitin' also.
So what ya scared for? " is ALL about how you went out clubbing to pick up and take home... but this guy's not got the balls to approach and make the first move...
some guys out on the pull and he's seen a girl he likes but he's too scared to make a move cause he feels stupidto "say the first word" so he just pretends like he hasn't noticed and carries on dancing and "hopes for the best"
"You sexy little swine
Hoping they’re looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through"
-->well I don't think that's positive...It's maybe about peolpe who just want to get laid end bag some nice girls
im sorry it's quite incomplete i'll think about this song (an awsome song really ), try to undersantd and write if i find some intresting results
And yeah it's, i think, aboiut you like a girl and really love her but you can't ask her, cause you're too freightened and don't know what to say.
'you seen your future bride', well that explains the most of the song I guess.
And why ain't "Bigger Boys..." on the album? It's better than half of the songs on it.
Humbug is the new direction your on about and i think it ws not the right choice
