Costello Elvis No Dancing lyrics

Oh I know that she
Has mad a fool of him,
Like girls have done so many nights before,
Time and time again.
But he`s so strange.
I don`t know why,
But somebody, somebody has to cry.
There`s gonna be no dancing when they get home.

There`s gonna be no dancing,
There`s gonna be no dancing,
There`s gonna be no dancing when they get home.

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 such a drag.)
He`s not insane. (He`s not insane.)
It`s just that everybody
Has to feel his pain.
There`s gonna be no dancing when they get home.

He`s getting down on his knees.
He finds that her brother`s not so easy to please, oh, oh
After all, his nights were just a paper striptease.
She`s caught it like some disease.

If he says `No dancing`,
There`s gonna be no dancing,
There`s gonna be no dancing on my own.

She can`t even speak to him.
He can`t face her now.
He says `Even though I wanna shake your hand,
All I ever do is bow.
So know you see
How can it be?
Why can`t you give me anythin` but sympathy?`

There`s gonna be no dancing, (repeat x4)
there`s gonna be no dancing on my own.
