Red Shoes

 

The Hammond burbles and screams

moving drawbars in and out

A heavy sound of two guitars

The drummer grins and hits it loud

One more time and we’ll be gone

The crowd claps and cheers us on

They dance and sing along all night

bodies swaying left to right

Everyone looks at you in the middle

Left of us the girls on the fiddle

The rhythm’s on with a pumping bass

My red shoes on, we’re looking great

We play untill the lights come on

and hang about till the crew is gone

Pretending that I’m feeling fine

I stagger home and drink more wine

Everyone looks at you in the middle

Left of us the girls on the fiddle

The rhythm’s on with a pumping bass

My red shoes on, we’re looking great

Red shoes tapping to the rhythm all night

I try and push away the thoughts

of rough lessons life has taught

and keep on drinking untill dawn

Go to bed with my red shoes on

Everyone looks at you in the middle

Left of us the girls on the fiddle

The rhythm’s on with a pumping bass

My red shoes on, we’re looking great
