A Gentleman's Excuse Me Lyrics
by Fish
Intro: Fsus2
Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom-drawer with your belgian lace
Taking them out every year to watch the colours fade away
Do you still believe in fairy tales in battlements of shining castles
Safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill
Are you still a Russian princes rescued by a gipsy-dancer
To anyone who'll listen, is that a story you still tell
You live a life of fantasy, your diary romantic fiction
Can't you see it's hard for me, can you see what I'm trying to say
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll do one step to the side
Can you get it inside your head, I'm tired of dancing
For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back
Can you get it inside your head, I'm tired of dancing
|F |C |A#/D |A# |
I know you still like Old-fashioned waltzes
Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with as you glide across the floor
But if I told you the music's over, would you want to hear
That your dance card is empty, that there's no-one really there
Do you still believe in Santa Claus, there's a millionaire looking for your front door
With the key to a life that you'd never understand
And all I have to offer is the love I have, it's freely given
You'll see it's value when you see what I'm trying to say
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll do one step to the side
Can you get it inside your head, I'm tired of dancing
For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back
Can you get it inside your head
That from this one step forward there's no turning back

Can you get it inside your head, I'm tired of dancing

We're finished dancing
