MECCANIC DANCING

XTC · Other Songs - XTC

Woolworth beauty

Factory beau

Arm in arm

They must go

To the church of dance with the light on low

Meccanic dancing oh we go

Can't wait until the weekend comes

I want to be with all my chums

Alcohol is an easy key

Helps you unwind

And dance with me

To a disco trot from germany

I'm standing in front of this girl

I'm under a flourescent light

I've had a few beers inside me

I feel like a giant tonight
