in the streets around here
<140, 1260><240, 1260><560, 1260><280, 1260><580, 1260>
there was nobody tougher than me
<220, 1260><220, 1260><640, 1260><460, 1260><220, 1260><540, 1260>
i was quick with me fists
<280, 1260><280, 1260><380, 1260><180, 1260><240, 1260><900, 1260>
and fast with me footwork
<280, 1260><340, 1260><180, 1260><240, 1260><860, 1260>
you can plainly see
<140, 1260><250, 1260><550, 1260><590, 1260>
but while fighting was useful
<271, 1260><270, 1260><571, 1260><250, 1260><780, 1260>
forgetting your way among the tops of the town
<585, 1260><206, 1260><270, 1260><465, 1260><236, 1260><284, 1260><146, 1260><210, 1260><580, 1260>
while you could all swear
<271, 1260><200, 1260><180, 1260><250, 1260><820, 1260>
there had to be something
<251, 1260><200, 1260><200, 1260><220, 1260><570, 1260>
that was better than this
<231, 1260><220, 1260><290, 1260><271, 1260><570, 1260>
i was fifteen years old
<271, 1260><270, 1260><670, 1260><280, 1260><670, 1260>
not never been kissed
<174, 1260><269, 1260><269, 1260><929, 1260>
well of course she'd ignore me
<215, 1260><180, 1260><234, 1260><315, 1260><380, 1260><554, 1260>
her friends were all senior me bloody nose dripping
<269, 1260><388, 1260><158, 1260><214, 1260><429, 1260><269, 1260><520, 1260><320, 1260><700, 1260>
and me collie flower
<215, 1260><214, 1260><366, 1260><814, 1260>
put his heart to convince
<195, 1260><194, 1260><246, 1260><234, 1260><980, 1260>
in a romantic pause with a lovely black eye
<60, 1260><173, 1260><720, 1260><754, 1260><160, 1260><193, 1260><347, 1260><213, 1260><687, 1260>
and a broken nose
<174, 1260><166, 1260><367, 1260><780, 1260>
where our girl is attracted
<214, 1260><213, 1260><300, 1260><180, 1260><980, 1260>
the skills more refined than the pugil is thought
<227, 1260><580, 1260><180, 1260><520, 1260><194, 1260><193, 1260><420, 1260><180, 1260><687, 1260>
and so i inclined
<251, 1260><220, 1260><230, 1260><900, 1260>
to take myself serious as a modern romancer
<231, 1260><230, 1260><541, 1260><480, 1260><211, 1260><210, 1260><501, 1260><1060, 1260>
and a secretly learned all the moves of a dancer
<191, 1260><190, 1260><600, 1260><600, 1260><261, 1260><261, 1260><634, 1260><176, 1260><230, 1260><940, 1260>
you swing to the left
<261, 1260><461, 1260><191, 1260><160, 1260><530, 1260>
you swing to the right
<261, 1260><310, 1260><200, 1260><180, 1260><530, 1260>
keep your eyes on your partner
<211, 1260><210, 1260><354, 1260><136, 1260><190, 1260><820, 1260>
more or less like a fight
<231, 1260><230, 1260><170, 1260><180, 1260><210, 1260><580, 1260>
you just follow the rhythm
<230, 1260><229, 1260><446, 1260><209, 1260><645, 1260>
you keep to the beat
<250, 1260><220, 1260><200, 1260><229, 1260><620, 1260>
the important thing's never to look at your feet
<299, 1260><299, 1260><505, 1260><234, 1260><299, 1260><250, 1260><220, 1260><269, 1260><740, 1260>
then a miracle happens
<265, 1260><234, 1260><520, 1260><940, 1260>
your mind's in a transfer the strategy subtle
<299, 1260><366, 1260><145, 1260><209, 1260><851, 1260><269, 1260><800, 1260><780, 1260>
your treason advance
<299, 1260><511, 1260><749, 1260>
is all about attitude all in your stance
<290, 1260><289, 1260><299, 1260><806, 1260><234, 1260><210, 1260><209, 1260><660, 1260>
attention to detail
<790, 1260><269, 1260><860, 1260>
leaving nothing to chance
<312, 1260><388, 1260><252, 1260><580, 1260>
which explains how the pugilist finally learned how
<305, 1260><841, 1260><167, 1260><226, 1260><566, 1260><785, 1260><608, 1260><572, 1260>
to dance
<305, 1260><645, 1260>
well i was with a broomstick
<305, 1260><293, 1260><292, 1260><213, 1260><186, 1260><926, 1260>
and if i was caught
<233, 1260><160, 1260><160, 1260><232, 1260><740, 1260>
i'd pretend i was sweeping or practicing sport
<493, 1260><453, 1260><167, 1260><232, 1260><560, 1260><305, 1260><640, 1260><620, 1260>
but i really had eyes for your mother you see
<196, 1260><195, 1260><231, 1260><231, 1260><705, 1260><180, 1260><195, 1260><325, 1260><195, 1260><531, 1260>
wanting her to acknowledge this new version of me
<456, 1260><215, 1260><231, 1260><916, 1260><195, 1260><231, 1260><476, 1260><180, 1260><515, 1260>
now everyone's watching
<172, 1260><648, 1260><692, 1260>
expecting our fair put this fire in me burning
<733, 1260><212, 1260><385, 1260><213, 1260><212, 1260><373, 1260><200, 1260><212, 1260><700, 1260>
there's winding me sails
<345, 1260><348, 1260><212, 1260><1039, 1260>
i knew i was risky and i was triggering a chance
<265, 1260><271, 1260><157, 1260><212, 1260><520, 1260><193, 1260><140, 1260><212, 1260><391, 1260><209, 1260><580, 1260>
i couldn't retreat no
<265, 1260><440, 1260><528, 1260><532, 1260>
i had to advance
<265, 1260><265, 1260><265, 1260><885, 1260>
so i swing to the left
<265, 1260><265, 1260><425, 1260><213, 1260><180, 1260><532, 1260>
i swing to the right
<265, 1260><360, 1260><213, 1260><180, 1260><532, 1260>
keep my eyes on me partner
<253, 1260><252, 1260><271, 1260><157, 1260><212, 1260><780, 1260>
like i wouldn't have fight
<88, 1260><168, 1260><225, 1260><215, 1260><540, 1260>
i just keep to the rhythm
<237, 1260><236, 1260><273, 1260><217, 1260><216, 1260><660, 1260>
and follow the beat
<273, 1260><345, 1260><215, 1260><660, 1260>
the important thing's never to look at your feet
<273, 1260><273, 1260><537, 1260><216, 1260><273, 1260><237, 1260><220, 1260><256, 1260><740, 1260>
your miracles happened
<187, 1260><593, 1260><944, 1260>
your mind's in a trance
<309, 1260><387, 1260><148, 1260><207, 1260><497, 1260>
they're all laughing and cheering
<307, 1260><242, 1260><467, 1260><235, 1260><987, 1260>
and looking at scance on the night
<309, 1260><346, 1260><200, 1260><294, 1260><235, 1260><180, 1260><264, 1260>
that the future lists
<255, 1260><247, 1260><433, 1260><664, 1260>
finally learned how to dance
<829, 1260><400, 1260><309, 1260><275, 1260><774, 1260>
it's a three minute round
<427, 1260><242, 1260><400, 1260><387, 1260><742, 1260>
you're back in your corner
<139, 1260><162, 1260><202, 1260><201, 1260><820, 1260>
you're licking your wounds just like little jack corner
<283, 1260><339, 1260><181, 1260><659, 1260><181, 1260><203, 1260><203, 1260><283, 1260><740, 1260>
don't let your guard down
<322, 1260><200, 1260><201, 1260><358, 1260><462, 1260>
try a child with your rights
<203, 1260><203, 1260><339, 1260><160, 1260><181, 1260><700, 1260>
or you're losing on points by the end of the night
<241, 1260><280, 1260><420, 1260><220, 1260><581, 1260><220, 1260><221, 1260><220, 1260><180, 1260><180, 1260><540, 1260>
that a miracle happens
<201, 1260><200, 1260><560, 1260><900, 1260>
everyone's screaming your pension yourself
<721, 1260><640, 1260><200, 1260><561, 1260><860, 1260>
just in case you're still dreaming
<221, 1260><220, 1260><460, 1260><180, 1260><200, 1260><860, 1260>
you've tricked on the initiative
<301, 1260><229, 1260><131, 1260><170, 1260><910, 1260>
you've trick
<301, 1260><219, 1260>
on your chance
<120, 1260><222, 1260><743, 1260>
it's the night
<342, 1260><203, 1260><294, 1260>
when this fugilist finally learned how to dance
<245, 1260><245, 1260><720, 1260><810, 1260><532, 1260><228, 1260><290, 1260><790, 1260>
in a boat where the stratage is bridges a birch
<290, 1260><290, 1260><452, 1260><223, 1260><285, 1260><515, 1260><245, 1260><590, 1260><161, 1260><654, 1260>
where it seemed that his fortune had suddenly turned
<287, 1260><287, 1260><364, 1260><200, 1260><243, 1260><622, 1260><225, 1260><727, 1260><552, 1260>
towards
<341, 1260>
the night that the scrapper was suddenly dapper
<182, 1260><243, 1260><244, 1260><243, 1260><637, 1260><243, 1260><680, 1260><632, 1260>
and his poor fellow's heart
<204, 1260><203, 1260><400, 1260><622, 1260><457, 1260>
was still going like the clappers
<287, 1260><287, 1260><604, 1260><243, 1260><287, 1260><1187, 1260>
the light that the pugilers finally learn how to dance
<287, 1260><287, 1260><284, 1260><283, 1260><800, 1260><1200, 1260><480, 1260><360, 1260><360, 1260><860, 1260>
