A Slow Song

Song by Joe Jackson

Song Lyrics

Music has charms they say

But in some people`s hands

It becomes a savage beast

Can`t they control it

Why don`t they hold it back

You see my friend and me

Don`t have an easy day

And at night we dance not fight

And we need the energy

If not the sympathy

But I`m brutalized by bass

And terrorized by treble

I`m open to change my mood but

I always get caught in the middle

And I get tired of DJ`s

Why`s it always what he plays

I`m gonna push right through

I`m gonna tell him too

Tell him to

Play us

Play us a slow song

It`s late - I`m winding down

Am I the only one

To want a strong and silent sound

To pick me up and undress me

Lay me down and caress me

I feel you touch my hand

And whisper in my ear

Ask me how I`m feeling now

And I want to get near you

But I can`t even hear you

But this is a fine romance

If we have to be so demanding

We need just one more dance to

Leave here with an understanding

And I get tired of DJ`s

Why`s it always what he plays

I`m gonna push right through

I`m gonna tell him too

Tell him to

Play us

Play us a slow song
