You Watched Me Dance Lyrics

You watched me dance from right to left
You watched me dance from left to right
And every time I learned the steps
You changed them overnight
Every twist every turn
Every waltz I danced alone
Now the steps are old and worn
You watched me dance.
Originally an over-long acapella song about the unenviable lives of East Germans who have spent their lives adapting to drastic regime changes.
Written before the film 'The Lives Of Others', but could have been soundtracked to it.
Read Anna Funder's 'Stasiland'.

Chumbawamba Lyrics
The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won. (2008)
When an Old Man Dies Add Me Words Can Save Us Hull or Hell El Fusilado Unpindownable I Wish That They'd Sack Me Word Bomber All Fur Coat & No Knickers Fine Line Lord Bateman's Motorbike A Fine Career To a Little Radio (Words Flew) Right Around the World Sing About Love Bury Me Deep You Watched Me Dance Compliments of Your Waitress RIP RP Charlie The Ogre Refugee Same Old Same Old Waiting for the Bus What We Want
