Dance
(Early version of Since Yesterday)
Bryson/McDowall
The use of ‘??’ denotes lyrics too unclear to transcribe.
Dance, come on dance
Just you dance to the tune of your chains
Dance, come on dance
Just you dance to the tune of your chains
You’re so wrapped up in your thoughts
Of what should I wear tonight
That you just can’t seem to realise
What is right in front of you
You, only you
??
Only you can set you free
You, only you
?? you
And it’s you that holds the key
You are so scared to open up
Come on, crawl out of your sorry shell
There is no-one else to help you
Only you can help yourself
Dance, come on dance
Just you dance to the tune of your chains
Dance, come on dance
Just you dance to the tune of your chains
So why not let go of your chains
And throw away your silly disguise
Now that you are you
And you know you don’t have to live a lie
Unreleased, the only studio recording was for the October 1982 BBC David Jensen session; song rewritten into Since Yesterday.
