Dexys Midnight Runners - The Waltz Lyrics
Don't stand me down, or around,
for I'll never stop saying your name
I was the one who came rushing to see you believed in your strategy
Followed your course
I never quite did, of course
But then, things were no worse
And you were the one I was waiting to see, believed implicitly
But I never took tea
I was always in doubt
about working it out,
hence my reasons to shout
were in permanent doubt
It's all changed now
Now, though it seems I am losing,
it's not true.
And though it seems there's confusion,
it's also not true
As if I could not see
believed implicitly
in the tales of the British democracy
How I swooned to the stories of Royal victories
But the books of history were fairy tale stories
But, never one to doubt
and not first think about,
I restrained all my doubt,
now I'm working it out.
Your good sister, it seems,
is nowhere to be seen,
they don't talk of Kathleen,
things are not how they seem
There's no beauty any more
Now, though it seems I am losing,
it's not true
And though it seems there's confusion, it's also not true
You say wait
but some things don't wait any more
Well, I've been to the promised Land
I've been there
I've also been down to the bottom
and looked up from despair
Now, though it seems I am losing,
It's not true
Now, though it seems there's confusion it's also not true
Some things won't wait any more
Don't stand me down, or around,
for I'll never stop saying your name
Here is a protest

Dexys Midnight Runners The Waltz Comments
Another magnificent performance from this album. The world just wasn't ready for it.
Sooooooooooooooooooo boring
Fantastic. Great comment.
Something makes me want to drip honey in front of the sun to this song.
I would edit the hell out of this song and make it 100 times better.
Could you be less vague?
Well I would slightly up the tempo. And I would remove the weak refrains - take out everything from about 2.00 to 2.55 and from 3.55 to 6.05.
Now you've got a classic. If I was ruler of the universe I would order this to be done immediately.
@James Evans And in the option of the rest of the universe - be responsible for ruining a brilliant record, but on the other hand making the Kevin Rowland even more popular.
Well I'm all about popular. That's why i'm closing in on the position of Ruler of the Universe.
dont stand me down is criminally under-rated
Has he ever recorded anything bad?
My favourite artist.
good song
Kevin Rowland è l'artista musicale più originale che il Regno Unito abbia espresso nell'ultimo scorcio del ventesimo secolo fino a tutt'ora. Kevin Rowland is the most peculiar artist in music UK's gave us all in the last scrap of the 20th century up to the beginning of this new one.
Veramente!
followed dexy's since 1980 and still feel the same about the genius Kevin Rowland amazing showman
i love dexys but he eventually admitting ripping off kevin archer's ideas!
I'v been listening to this since 1988, it still moves me,.. Kevin speaks for me and I'm just a Handsworth boy. Respect if you ever read this brother.
Magnificent
thank you
Reminds me of crawley back in the day with great freinds
A song from the "Projected Passion Review". A great vocalist in Kevin Rowland.
A great band from day one.
you sure? projected passion revue was 1981 and they hadn't written this song by then!
Great way to close an album.
Wonderful Shaun. Thanks for this.
