Favours for Favours Lyrics

Many times we'd help each other out, favours for favours is nothing new,
You're asking me to use my fingertips, what I'm sculpting and moulding isn't you,
These may seem like stupid words, only two more that you've heard,
Everybody's looking for their saving grace, in their race to find a place.

I was watching through the window, you were going through the dances,
I've been writing all of it down, I'll be taking all my chances,
This always seems to happen.

***CHORUS***

Theres something that you do, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
I just can't help myself (ahh ahhh ahhhh!)
And I wish that I could move more in time with you.

I've watched you step and I've watched you turn, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
I've watched you move like a knife in the water, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
Watched you move across the floor, over to me, (for all to see)

************

Now you're asking what it is I want, half a chance to dance with you,
With a little time to work it out, I know the results could astonish you,

I was watching through the window, you were going through the dances,
I've been writing all of it down, I'll be taking all my chances,
This always seems to happen.

***CHORUS***

Theres something that you do, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
I just can't help myself (ahh ahhh ahhhh!)
And I wish that I could move more in time with you.

I've watched you step and I've watched you turn, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
I've watched you move like a knife in the water, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
Watched you move across the floor, over to me, for all to see.

(Favours for favours (repeated in the background)

Theres something that you do, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
I just can't help myself (ahh ahhh ahhhh!)
And I wish that I could move more in time with you.

I've watched you step and I've watched you turn, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
I've watched you move like a knife in the water, (ahhhh ahh ahhh!)
Watched you move across the floor, over to me, (for all to see).

This new album is just great innit? I'd say this song is about dancing. You could pretend it's a metaphor for something but I think it's just about dancing
