Dance Stance Lyrics

I'll only ask you once more
you only want to believe
this man is looking for someone to hold him down
he doesn't yet fully understand the meaning

never heard about (Oscar Wilde)
don't want know about (and Brendan Behan)
don't think about (Shaun O'Casey)
don't care about (George Bernard Shaw
Samuel Beckett)
won't talk about (Gene O'Neil)
won't know about (Edna O'Brian)
won't think about (Laurence Sterne)

shut it
you don't undertand it
shut it
that's not the way I planned it
shut your mouth 'til you know the truth

I'll only ask you once more
it must be so hard to see
this man is looking for someone to hold his hand
he doesn't yet fully understand the meaning

shut it
you don't understand it
shut it
that's not the way I planned it
shut your mouth 'til you know the truth

(Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan)
don't think about (Shaun O'Casey)
dont care about (George Bernard Shaw)
oh (and Samuel Beckett)
dont' know about (Gene O'Neil, Edna O'Brien)
don't think about (and Laurence Sterne)

now listen all these other people they don't mean a thing
they're not listening to what you say
makes no difference anyway
if I knew it I would tell
give you anything
they're not listening what you say
but you might just......

(Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan)
Shaun O'Casey, George Bernard Shaw)
Samuel Beckett,
Gene O'Neil, Edna O'Brien
and Laurence Sterne)
