Lyrics of 'Only Dancing' by Liam Wilford

You show up fashionably late
For your boyfriend's birthday party
Ignore the pirate dress-up theme
Arrive (with) intent to cause a scene

And then your night is spent
Attached to his best friend
You will fall back or
You always want what can't belong to you

Chorus:

And you're only dancing
'Cause he is watching
And his tell-tale heart
Was doomed from the start

And you're only dancing
'Cause he is watching
And his tell-tale heart
Was doomed from the start.

And the floorboards shake
And the party's well well on the way
But there's one last soul
On whom your antics start to take their toll

He will never say
He lost lost lost himself in you that day
And the irony
The things he loved the most die quickly

Chorus:

And you're only dancing
'Cause he is watching
And his tell-tale heart
Was doomed from the start

And you're only dancing
'Cause he is watching
And his tell-tale heart
Was doomed from the start.

Guitar solo...

And the balloons deflate
And there's no more cake
And he says the first worst day of the year is my birthday

And the balloons deflate
And there's no more cake
I'm pretending to narrate another story won't change your defect personality

And the balloons deflate
And there's no more cake
And the balloons deflate
And the balloons deflate

Chorus:

And you're only dancing
'Cause he is watching
And his tell-tale heart
Was doomed from the start

And you're only dancing
'Cause he is watching
And his tell-tale heart
Was doomed from the start.
