Art Brut - Direct Hit
Click to view
You went out in a rush And can't tell if it shows She's looking over a lot And he's still in his work clothes
You can't talk to members of the opposite sex He starts to talk, they start to look perplexed So with his eyes on the prize, and just a glance at her breasts He walks over, and he says:
It's uncomfortable all night to sit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit Move around like your shoes don't fit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit Why is that cigarette unlit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit What's wrong? Scared to commit? Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit
Her friends are leaving, She decides she's not going She's been looking over a lot And hopes it's been showing
She can't talk to members of the opposite sex She starts to talk, they start to look perplexed So with her eyes on the prize, and just a glance at her breasts She goes over, and she says:
It's uncomfortable all night to sit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit Move around like your shoes don't fit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit What's wrong? Scared to commit? Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit I don't care that your friends have split Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit
Here comes the really good bit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit Move around like your shoes don't fit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit It's uncomfortable all night to sit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit Why is that cigarette unlit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit
I don't care that your friends have split Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit Move around like your shoes don't fit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit What's wrong? Scared to commit? Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit It's uncomfortable all night to sit Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit
Hit, hit, direct hit Hit, hit, direct hit Hit, hit, direct hit Hit, hit, direct hit
