No Dancing in Bristol
Tales of Distance and Yearning
Lyrics
Well I cast my ballot and boarded the plane
Expressing participation in an election and traveling by plane.
Counting the days till I see you again
Await eagerly for the reunion, counting the days until seeing a loved one.
It's election day five thousand miles away
Noticing the irony of being far from home on election day.
We're all holding our breath through the flight
Feeling tension and anticipation during the flight.
They'll be no dancing in London tonight
Anticipating a lack of celebration or joy in London.
No they'll be no dancing in London tonight
Reiterating the absence of dancing in London.
The morning came early so we slept on the train
Describing an early morning arrival and sleeping on a train.
As we fought the depression of the countryside rain
Struggling with the emotional weight of rainy countryside and homesickness.
Yearning for home after only one day
Expressing a yearning for home after a short time away.
With my angel so far from my side
Mentioning the absence of a loved one (angel) during the journey.
They'll be no dancing in Bristol tonight
Anticipating a lack of dancing in Bristol upon arrival.
No they'll be no dancing in Bristol tonight
Reiterating the absence of dancing in Bristol.
We finally resolved it would all be alright
Reflecting on a resolution that everything will be okay.
At the end of the day was one hell of a night
Highlighting a memorable night despite challenges.
And I wished you were there for to join in the fray
Expressing a desire for a loved one's presence during a lively event.
And to steal me away from my mind
Yearning for emotional connection and escape from personal thoughts.
They'll be no dancing in Glasgow tonight
Anticipating a lack of dancing in Glasgow later on.
No they'll be no dancing in Glasgow tonight
Reiterating the absence of dancing in Glasgow.
