Secondary Waltz Lyrics

#Secondary Waltz
#
#Unreleased track...recorded during the Golden Heart sessions, the track is available
#on the CD Golden Demos. The recording technology wasn't good, the pitch is very strange,
#but the songs are perfect, typical MK.

The school Christmas party is coming
We ain't doing rugby no more
McIntyre's teaching us waltzing
Out on the gymnasium floor
Out on the gymnasium floor
McIntyre's out of the army
You'll be slippered if you get it wrong
McIntyre's din, booms loud in the gym
Well, we've only got our little shorts on(...)
We've only got our little shorts on(...)
And it's (C)one-two-three two-two we're(G) all a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart (C)
And we dance with ourselves, til we've all found a (G) space
(Bm)Waltzing with fear in our hearts(C)
(Am)Waltzing with fear in our hearts(D)
E (same as intro)
On the day of the final manoeuvre, all of our heads are a whirl
Getting much closer to D-Day
This time we're gonna do it with girls
This time we're gonna do it with girls
In the arena the ladies are waiting
A twelve year old partner to guide
Some matches were fixed, the rest of us mixed
And a fat girl got left on the side
a fat girl got left on the side.
And it's (C)one-two-three two-two we're(G) all a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart (C)
And we dance with ourselves, til we'd all found a (G) space
(Bm)Waltzing with fear in our hearts(C)
(Am)Waltzing with fear in our hearts(D)
E (same as intro) 3X
Then E, D, B and A, G, E (as first couplet at the end)
If you come to my fights, and I am under the lights
You'll See that my footwork is false
Don't count me out, at the start of the bout
I'm just doing secondary waltz
Doing secondary waltz
And it's the secondary waltz
Yeah, it's the secondary waltz
Intro till the end
