Don't get back on the floor! - Music and lyrics by Tom Adeney

Looking down the floor
Looking down the very floor.

Looking down the floor
Looking at the very floor.

And looking at a pint to go,
Looking at the scene of night and don't know why.
Looking at the been and died,
Looking at the scene of night and day and dried.

Looking down the scene, 
Looking down the very soul!
And looking to perform about some more,
Looking to dance today - need no more.

And don't - get back on the floor,
Don't - get back on the floor!
I say don't - get back on the floor
Oh yeah don't - get back on the floor!


Lean down society dove,
These days  society is non.
And you hold me in your flower's hands,
Looking at the sun-gray light in the evening night.

Cold and nice you say, 
Cold and nice and very small.
But you're looking at the dawn,
Looking at the very dawn to ball.

I say don't, 
Get back on the floor!
Don't - get back on the floor!

 (Instrumental break)

Quiet in the night,
and you needn't know,
Singing alone and looking to myself.
Keeping to myself -  not talking,
Not talking to anyone, keeping on the shelf.
Looking in the night and looking in the day,
and looking everywhere but not know where to to go,
And looking in the sign and looking in the night 
and looking in the day and looking in the room.

I say - get back on the floor!
I say:

(Instrumental break)

I sang to myself and I looked at myself,
and I spoke to myself and I hung around myself.
And I thought to myself and I sang to myself
and looked at myself and I thought about being myself.

And you came indie now -
You came into my room,
And you saw in the night - 
you saw something that I'm not.

 I say - get back on the on the floor!
And dance -
 Get back on the floor!
I say.
Please get back on the floor!
Don't be a bore
Please get back on the floor!…etc

Boat on a Lake - Tom Adeney

Cross the darkest night 
on lonely waters.
Row your boat through paradise.
And when the years grow very long,
I will guide you,
safely to the shallows
of distant shores.

In the silent sky 
of constellations
Lend an eye to where they go
And while your boat begins to sail,
They will know you 
They're here till tomorrow
to show the way.

But I know
You'll keep drifting north and running into snow.
But I know
You'll keep drifting north and running into snow.

(Instrumental)

But I know
You'll keep drifting north and running into snow.
But I know
You'll keep drifting north and running into snow.

And looking starboard
to a tiny island.
Can you row a straight course?
Is your boat too frail and weak 
to keep you moving?
Sailing the waves
to pave the day.

But I know
You'll keep drifting north and running into snow.
But I know
You'll keep drifting north and running into snow.
