background
"Another huge influence of Simple Minds were the bands coming out of New York in the
late, late seventies. Talking about Television, Ramones, New York Dolls,
Talking Heads... but more than all, talking about Patti Smith."
"Patti Smith: fantastic live. Act really was... I mean Patti was one
of the original princess poets. This song, Dancing Barefoot, originally produced by Todd Rundgren,
another influence of ours. Dancing Barefoot, again, a song we would play live, a song that would... anytime
anyone heard these initial chords, used to get a great, great reaction."
"And I feel on this one, we've almost taken a pop, electronic route with the song. But Dancing Barefoot
is a classic from the late, late seventies, probably seventy-nine. I hope we've done it justice." - Jim
lyrics
|
She is benediction.
She is addicted to thee.
She is the root connection.
She is connecting with he.
Here I go and I don't know why,
I fell so ceaselessly,
could it be he's taking over me...
I'm dancing barefoot,
Heading for a spin.
Some strange music draws me in,
Makes me come on like some heroine.
She is sublimation,
She is the essence of thee.
She is concentrating on,
He, who is chosen by she.
Here I go and I don't know why.
I spin so ceaselessly,
Could it be he's taking over me?
[Chorus]
She is re-creation,
She, intoxicated by thee.
She has the slow sensation that,
He is levitating with she...
Here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til I lose my sense of gravity...
[Chorus]
(Oh God I fell for you ...)
The plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face.
The mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself.
Grave visitations.
What is it that calls to us?
Why must we pray screaming?
Why must not death be redefined?
We shut our eyes we stretch out our arms,
And whirl on a pane of glass.
An afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree,
The hands of he and the promise that she is blessed among women.
(Oh God I fell for you ...)
