Joe Jackson Slow Song lyrics

Music has charms they say
But in some people's hands
It becomes a savage beast
Can't they control it, why don't they hold it back

You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
And we need the energy if not the sympathy

But I'm brutalized by bass and terrorized by treble
I'm open to change my mood but I always get caught in the middle
And I get tired of DJ's, why's it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through, I'm gonna tell him to
Tell him to play us

Play us a slow song, play us a slow song
Play us a slow song, play us a slow song

It's late, I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me, lay me down and caress me


I feel you touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you but I can't even hear you

So this is a fine romance if we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to leave here with understanding
And I get tired of DJ's, why's it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through, I'm gonna tell him to
Tell him to play us

Play us a slow song, play us a slow song
Play us a slow song, play us a slow song

And I get tired of DJ's, why's it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through, I'm gonna tell him to
Tell him to play, play us a, play us a

Play us a slow song, play us a slow song
Play us a slow song, play us a slow song
