kings of convenience - stay out of trouble

(I walked around for hours, two ten pence pieces in my hand
I was alone and freezing, still trying hard to understand you

I left the others knowing, I had to work this by myself
But now the feeling's growing, I would be better off with their help

So baby, what we've got
Has lately not been enough
Not been enough

I wish I had your scarf still, that once embraced and kept me warm
I wish you could be with me, in these last days when I am still hopelessly poor

Stay out of trouble
Stay in touch
Try not to think about me too much

Stay out of trouble
Stay in touch
Try not to think about me too much)

Manhattan Skyline

Kings of Convenience – Manhattan Skyline
We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say
My boat's leaving now
So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye

You know I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again
I don't want to cry again

We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain brings back words of a song
And they sing wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye

You know I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again
I don't want to cry again

So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page a black and white picture of
Manhattan Skyline

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you

So why don't we just move into the other room

There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune

Even if I could hear what you said

I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear

Because I haven't read a single book all year

And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all

I'd rather dance,

I'd rather dance than talk with you

I'd rather dance,

I'd rather dance than talk with you

I'd rather dance,

I'd rather dance than talk with you

The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd

Increases the chance of misinterpretation

So let your hips do the talking

I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings

And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing

Getting into the swing, getting into the swing

Getting into the swing, getting into the swing

Getting into the swing, getting into the swing

Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...

(Getting to the swing...)

I'd rather dance,

I'd rather dance than talk with you

I'd rather dance,

I'd rather dance than talk with you

I'd rather dance,

I'd rather dance than talk with you

I'd rather dance,

I'd rather dance than talk with you

I'd rather dance with you

I'd rather dance with you

I'd rather dance with you
