Electric Light Orchestra It Wasn`t My Idea To Dance Lyrics

It Wasn`t My Idea To Dance Lyrics

The people throwing pennies in my soup
 Expecting me to be ashamed of you
 Now my needs are growing and I`m groping round
 I am really groping round

  We didn`t break until the morning
  One dramatic glance
  Now it`s too late to want your freedom
  It wasn`t my idea to dance

 The prince of thunder gave his warning speech
 His talons dared to grasp you from my reach
 Once again you clutch me to your warming breast
 Now I lay me down to rest

  We didn`t break until the morning
  One dramatic glance
  Now it`s too late to want your freedom
  It wasn`t my idea to dance

 As dawn is nearing
 I`m hearing tearful music

 So I have given you the will to weep
 For now you`re at your last and final peak
 Dangerously the past it explodes about by ears
 Loudly ringing through my ears

  We didn`t break until the morning
  One dramatic glance
  Now it`s too late to want your freedom

 It wasn`t my idea to dance
 It wasn`t my idea to dance
