A Slow Song Lyrics - Singles - Joe Jackson

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
