Don't Dance Lyrics
Denounce the evil men
Pray for their lives to end
Smashing gaudy throws
(?)
I come woozy with my wheezing organ
Try my best to make the moment awesome
If you remember not to tread with caution
I'll make your body speak in full distortion
I can't sleep at night, I fear death's warning
I keep afloat by holding tight so cautious
Somebody dragged me here, I'm trapped with wild horses
And now I'm losing and my heart is nauseous
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
You can't win
Where there's freedom, there's freedom
Is this freedom?
(Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance)
Where there's freedom, there's freedom
Is this freedom?
(Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance)
Where there's freedom, there's freedom
Is this freedom?
(Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance)
Where there's freedom, there's freedom
Is this freedom?
Love has left, love has left
Love has gone away from here
What is left in it's place?
Only our aching feet
You can see, you can see
Is there an exit here?
I believe, I believe
We're gonna leave this (?)
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
You can't dance
Pray for their lives to end
Smashing gaudy throws
(?)
Try my best to make the moment awesome
If you remember not to tread with caution
I'll make your body speak in full distortion
I keep afloat by holding tight so cautious
Somebody dragged me here, I'm trapped with wild horses
And now I'm losing and my heart is nauseous
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
You can't win
Is this freedom?
(Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance)
Is this freedom?
(Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance)
Is this freedom?
(Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance)
Is this freedom?
Love has gone away from here
What is left in it's place?
Only our aching feet
You can see, you can see
Is there an exit here?
I believe, I believe
We're gonna leave this (?)
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
Don't dance, don't dance, don't dance, don't dance
You can't dance

I'm pretty sure the first verse is
"Denounce the evil men Pray for their lives to end Smash their gaudy thrones Dance upon their bones"
in the third verse, I think it's "Somebody dragged me here on back of wild horses"
and near the end, it sounds to me like
"Who can see, who can see is there an exit here? I believe, I believe we will leave this fear"
@justacrosshair makes sense
@justacrosshair makes sense
can't work those gaps out either.
Smashing (?) he throws sounds like gourd...
Sounds like "Smash the gourd he throws" to me.
And "Like I'm losing with my wings in orbit" sounds like "I come woozy with my wheezing organ(s?)" to me.
"I keep afloat by holding tide so cautious" tide=tight, I think.
"Papa's left, papa's left Papa's gone away from here" This sounds more like "Love has left, love has left, love has gone away from here" to me.
Oh, the first line is "Denounce the evil men." Hot Chip has a track-by-track commentary video on their myspace, and Joe talks about this being about George Bush and Tony Blair being evil and wanting them to pay for their crimes. Haha.
the third line is "Smashing gaudy throws." It sounds like "he" because the -y ending of gaudy is slightly delayed
