Baby wants to dance | | .. Past the flat-footed charterhouse boys | | ... From towns where the mothers can't stand | | .. Mmm, the sight of each other verse 2 | | ... Baby wants to last | | .. In the hearts of the wild and free | | ... She knows that time takes all of us | | .. Through every long, hot, heavy summer | And all of them, they talk of national security | Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze | | Of chance encounters verse 3 | | ... Baby wants to dance | | .. Past the Tuesday morning supermarket crowd | ... She knows we'll all sleep through the days | | And be two-step drip fed our laughter verse 4 | | ... Says she wants to last | | .. Mmm, last how you want to | | ... She's a light in the young boy's eyes | | .. Through every long, hot, heavy summer | And all of them, they talk of national security | Over garden fences made to buff the bastard breeze | Yeah, all of them, shufflin' down that lonely street | | One last gasp | | .. Against a long, hot, heavy summer
