Lyrics

He's watching the girls on the dance floor

Observing the girls dancing on the dance floor.

He's watching the light in her hair

Observing the radiance of light in her hair.

He's praying that love's gonna come soon

Expressing a hope or desire for love to arrive soon.

There's a sweet smell of hope in the air

Sensing a positive and optimistic atmosphere with a sweet scent of hope.


Just another boy from a steel town

Describing himself as an ordinary guy from an industrial town.

With the flash of the mill in his eye

Having a determined and intense look, possibly influenced by his industrial background.

He don't move for hip cool or fashion

Not conforming to trends or fashion but aware of genuine feelings.

But he knows where the deepest one lies

Recognizing the authenticity of true emotions.


And he'd love to be warm

Expressing a desire for warmth.

And he'd love to love you

Expressing a desire to love and be loved.

So give him some good news

Requesting positive and uplifting information or updates.


All the cards on the table

Suggesting openness and honesty by putting all cards on the table.

But don't look that man in the eye

Advising caution when dealing with a certain man, avoiding direct eye contact.

Say a prayer for the dealer

Asking for a prayer for someone involved in dealing, possibly a risky situation.

And kiss your old life goodbye

Implies a significant change in life, bidding farewell to the old life.


Go to church light a candle

Suggesting a religious act, lighting a candle in church.

But don't lose your head for God's sake

Warning against extreme actions in the name of religion.

Why is my heart beating faster

Expressing heightened emotions, possibly anxiety or nervousness.

Oh why do my hands start to shake

Questioning the reason for increased heart rate and shaky hands.


'Cause he'd love to be warm

Reiterating the desire for warmth.

And he'd love to love you

Reiterating the desire for love and intimacy.

So give him some good news

Reiterating the request for positive and uplifting information.
