Elvis Costello - No Dancing [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Oh, I know that she has made a fool of him
Like girls have done so many nights before
Time and time again life is so strange
I don't know why but somebody, somebody has to cry
There's going to be no dancing when they get home

[Chorus]
There's going to be no dancing, there's going to be no dancing
There's going to be no dancing when they get home

[Verse 2]
Now he's telling her every little thing he's done
Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks
Now he's read every one, he's such a drag
He's not insane, it's just that everybody has to feel his pain
There's going to be no dancing when they get home

[Bridge]
He's getting down on his knees
He finds that the girl is not so easy to please
Oh, oh, after all, his nights were just a paper striptease
She's caught it like some disease

[Chorus]
If he says, no dancing, there's going to be no dancing
There's going to be no dancing on my own

[Verse 3]
She can't even speak to him, he can't face her now
He says "Even though I want to shake your hand
All I ever do is bow, so now you see how can it be
Why can't you give me anything but sympathy?"

[Outro]
There's going to be no dancing, there's going to be no dancing[x2]
There's going to be no dancing on my own
