Can’t Shake It
When we go out dancing on a Friday night
I get this funny feeling something’s not quite right
My sense of rhythm is incontrovertibly shite
I can’t fake it
I can see the pity in your big brown eyes
The perpetrator lies between my back and my thighs
It doesn’t want to wiggle though I try try try
I can’t make it
I get the feeling that I look absurd
I get the feeling that I look absurd - and it hurts
I just can’t shake it
Couldn’t walk the line inside the country scene
And disco was a flop I’m sure no dancing queen
Couldn’t really qualify for breakdancing
I just break it
Tried moving my body to the latest hit
Someone called the nurse thought I was having a fit
I execute the moonwalk like I stepped in shit
I can’t take it
I get the feeling that I look absurd
I get the feeling that I look absurd - and it hurts
I just can’t shake it

Very possibly lyrical genius. I actually laughed out loud in on my own in public when I listened to this for the first time.
About me
i have a 'real' blog where i tell people stuff about what i have been doing. i think only my mum reads it, but that's fine, because i mostly write it for her.this is just my stream of consciousness. my 'shoebox' of things i like/that are meaningful to me.
there are also lists here. i like to make lists. sometimes they're lists of good things for when i need to remember that life is great. sometimes they're just lists of things i think are important, but not necessarily good. some things are just worth taking note of.
if anything hasn't be credited correctly - let me know and i'll ensure it is/remove it.
