Two Shoes Lyrics
One day one woman asked him
‘what do you to survive?’
he said ‘oh my dear listen here’
and this is what he cried
On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing
‘dancing to be free’
my feet they’re paying tribute to
the Bobby Marley legacy
My knees they’ve got some cuts and bruises
from skating all my days
when i’m skating with my friends
my troubles drift away
I say my legs they’re wearing baggy pants
I like to move around
cos getting down and jumping up
these are some good things that I found
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak the empire be rising
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak we making some lovin
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak the greedy men running
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak got two shoes for dancin
My waist it’s got a slinky belt
with a clip that’s quick to open
because loving is the sweetest thing
and from my waist it happen
And my stomachs got some tasty food
that’s making me feel good
cos sharing some meals is something
i wish the world could do
And my chest it wears a singlet
ah my chest it beating proud
my chest suggest I am a man
that no institution can knock down
And around my neck is superstition
hanging from a chain
because i’ve got my gods but in the end
I make my own way
CHORUS
My mouth it’s got a great big smile
that shows some great big teeth
to friends it brings a happiness
and to enemies it means defeat
And my eyes they’ve got some vision
that can see through many lies
ah my eyes they look for better things
the better things to see in life
And my ears are wearing head phones
that do play my favourite songs
not music i’m told to like
but the songs that make me dance along
Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing
‘dancing to be free’
my feet they’re paying tribute to
the bobby marley legacy
‘what do you to survive?’
he said ‘oh my dear listen here’
and this is what he cried
‘dancing to be free’
my feet they’re paying tribute to
the Bobby Marley legacy
from skating all my days
when i’m skating with my friends
my troubles drift away
I like to move around
cos getting down and jumping up
these are some good things that I found
boom shak the empire be rising
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak we making some lovin
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak the greedy men running
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
boom shak got two shoes for dancin
with a clip that’s quick to open
because loving is the sweetest thing
and from my waist it happen
that’s making me feel good
cos sharing some meals is something
i wish the world could do
ah my chest it beating proud
my chest suggest I am a man
that no institution can knock down
And around my neck is superstition
hanging from a chain
because i’ve got my gods but in the end
I make my own way
that shows some great big teeth
to friends it brings a happiness
and to enemies it means defeat
that can see through many lies
ah my eyes they look for better things
the better things to see in life
that do play my favourite songs
not music i’m told to like
but the songs that make me dance along
‘dancing to be free’
my feet they’re paying tribute to
the bobby marley legacy

i love this song. It makes me so happy. how life should be, simple and fun.
this song is so soothing. it makes me think of balmy nights in bali with my friends. mmm i love the reggae beat!
its AWSOME
I completely dig this song but, who are the 'Greedy men running'?
my feet they’re paying tribute to the Bobby Marley legacy
para qué mas?!!!
amazing!! it's so funky and everytime I listen it puts a smile in my face
Felix has massive thing for dancing!!again i recon its the empire just prioritising everything in life and not being led (not music im told to like')- ultimatly they have two shoes for dancing!!dancing to be free!an re to the greedy men running- i think they are just pokng fun at all the money grabbers in the world.
Thanks Maxjagger, good thinking
Such a cool song, Felix rules so much I named my son after him! I'm always amazed by the seemingly throwaway lines that always seem to come back to me when I'm thinking about something else, like
'around my neck is superstition hanging from a chain, 'cos I've got my gods but in the end I make my own way'
which is a pretty damning view of religion, and quite similar to my own, all in two simple lines. And I love the lines about his belt 'with a clip that's quick to open'.
So bloody clever and talented these Australians, eh?
the boy i'm in love with introduced me to this song... maybe that's why i'm in love with it? nahhhh. this song is fucking amazing. makes me wanna dance oh yeah.
FishiesWillLaugh, I don't think that that is a 'damning view' of religion at all, it's just Felix's personal take, but he seems to agree that everyone can do what they choose, 'make their own way'.
In this song it feels like Felix is taking an inventory of all his traits, all the little things that make him who he is.
I love it!
I agree that he's not entirely damning religion. He's definitely saying it doesn't define him and he is his own master. I like that. FishiesWillLaugh, I believe you and I have very similar religious views. And I definitely considered naming my kid Felix...
