Electricity
'One more thing can I just ask you this:
What does it feel like when you're dancing ?'
-'I can't really explain it
I haven't got the words
It's a feeling that you can't control
I suppose it's like forgetting
Loosing who you are
And at the same time
Something makes you whole
It's like that there's a music
Playing in your ear
And I'm listening
And I'm listening
And then I disappear
And then I feel a change
Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open
Impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying
Flying like a bird
like electricity,
Electrisity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free
I'm free
It's a bit like being angry
It's a bit like being scared
Confused and all mixed up
And mad as hell
It's like when you've been crying
And you're empty and you're full
I don't know what it is
It's hard to tell
It's like that there's some music
Playing in your ear
But the music is impossible
Impossible to hear
And then I feel it move me
Like a burning deep inside
Something bursting me wide open
Impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying
Flying like a bird
Like electricity
Electricity
Sparks inside of me
And I'm free
I'm free'
From the Musical Billy Elliot
Slow Dance
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round ?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground ?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight ?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night ?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly ?
When you ask: How are you ?
Do you hear the reply ?
When the day is done !
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head ?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow ?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow ?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say, "Hi".
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like en unopened gift ....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
