I Stopped Dancing

When the seagulls sit on the goal post

And the weather's cold

You look so old when you smoke

And then at dark

Our life warms up

And rings of smoke start dancing, dancing

Oh oh oh oh

The past is our only mistake

Oh oh oh oh

So dance now before its too late

So you drink something to forget about your mum

And there's a need to look older

Cos she treats us this young

But through her guidance

We'll be all older and done

Then you can start dancing, dancing

Oh oh oh oh

The past is our only mistake

Oh oh oh oh

So dance now before it's too late

Well you walk me down to the hall

You're cart-wheeling too fast

And it's making me fall

But my legs are the chains to the floor

Now that you've stopped me dancing, dancing

Oh oh oh oh

The past is our only mistake

Oh you wait for me to say no, no

I can live mine it's yours that I hate
