Hucklebucker Lyrics

Stumble in your dancing shoes, two left feet left unaware

Swing your hips until you're almost out of the spotlight's glare

Both eyes stare into the distance, the weeks fly by in days

The rot slips into your foxtrot, sends your steps sideways

Dance in the prison yard for an audience of one

Pour more petrol on the Disco Inferno

Bending backwards, falling forwards, losing balance

On buckled knees when the lights are low

Because you're restless / reckless

Keep one hand upon the bonnet all through the marathon

It's a small world after all, you can only run so long

Drop kick choreography, to put you through your paces

Pick yourself up by bootstraps just to trip over your laces

You chase your own tail from town to town

Because there's no place like your home

Well here's a dance that you should know:

It's one you'll have to do do alone

So take your bouquet of barbed wire

Give one final tidal wave

Stoop down,a last exhausted bow

Before you crawl home

You're careless
