I Can't Be Bothered Now
Dancing Through Life's Challenges: I Can't Be Bothered Now by Chris Connor
Lyrics
Bad news, go away
Expressing a desire for bad news to stay away.
Call 'round someday
Suggesting a delayed response, asking someone to call later.
In March or May
Specifying possible months for the call, March or May.
I can't be bothered now
Indicating a lack of interest or motivation to deal with things right now.
My bonds and shares
Referring to financial investments that may decline without concern.
May fall downstairs
Suggesting a nonchalant attitude toward potential financial losses.
Who cares, who cares
Expressing indifference to the fate of bonds and shares.
I'm dancing and
Stating engagement in dancing and celebration.
I can't be bothered now
Reiterating the lack of interest or motivation in current affairs.
I'm up among the stars
Describing a state of being elevated or transcendent among the stars.
On earthly things I frown
Expressing a disdain for mundane or earthly concerns.
I'm throwing off the bars
Symbolizing a liberation from constraints or limitations.
That held me down
Further emphasizing the freedom from things that held the person down.
I'll pay the piper
Committing to fulfilling obligations, paying the piper when the time is right.
When times are riper
Linking the payment to a more opportune moment in the future.
Just now, I shan't
Asserting the current refusal to fulfill obligations due to the joy of dancing.
Because you see I'm dancing and
Reiterating the focus on dancing and the lack of interest in other matters.
I can't be bothered now
Reaffirming the lack of inclination to be bothered by current concerns.
I'm up among the stars
Repeating the idea of being elevated among the stars.
On earthly things I frown
Reiterating a disdain for earthly matters while being among the stars.
I'm throwing off the bars
Restating the theme of breaking free from constraints and limitations.
That held me down
Emphasizing the liberation from things that held the person down.
I'll pay the piper
Committing to fulfilling obligations, paying the piper when the time is right.
When times are riper
Linking the payment to a more opportune moment in the future.
Just now, I shan't
Asserting the current refusal to fulfill obligations due to the joy of dancing.
Because you see I'm dancing and
Reiterating the focus on dancing and the lack of interest in other matters.
I can't be bothered now
Reaffirming the lack of inclination to be bothered by current concerns.
