Lyrics
A Gentleman's Excuse Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you still keep paper flowers
In the bottom-drawer with your belgian lace
Taking them out every year
To watch the colours fade away?
Do you still believe in fairy tales
In battlements of shiny castles
Safe from the dragons
That lie beneath the hill?
Are you still a Russian princes
Rescued by a gipsy-dancer?
To anyone who'll listen
Is that a story you still tell
You live a life of fantasy
Your diary romantic fiction
Can't you see it's hard for me?
Can you see what I'm trying to say?
It's a gentleman's excuse me
So I'll take one step to the side
Can you get it inside your head?
I'm tired of dancing
For every one step forward
We're taking two steps back
Can you get it inside your head?
I'm tired of dancing
I know you still like Oldfashioned waltzes
Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with
As you glide across the floor
But if I told you the music's over
Would you want to hear
That your dance card is empty
That there's no-one really there
Do you still believe in Santa Claus?
There's a milionaire looking for your front door
With the key to a life
That you'd never understand
And all I have to offer
Is the love I have, it's freely given
You'll see it's value
When you see what I'm trying to say
It's a gentleman's excuse me
So I'll take one step to the side
Can you get it inside your head?
I'm tired of dancing
For every one step forward
There's no turning back
Can you get it inside your head?
I'm tired of dancing
