Work Shy
Dance Through Memories: Nostalgia and Love in Work Shy by Tobacco Brown
Lyrics
I remember
Recollection of a past memory
When Sublime was
Referring to the band Sublime
Your favourite band
Highlighting Sublime as the listener's favorite band
You called me on my work shy hands
Reference to a call received on idle, work-shy hands
And nothing ever seemed
Expressing the ephemeral nature of things
To last that long
Commenting on the perceived brevity of experiences
You used to dance with me
Recollection of dancing with the listener
To that song
Referring to a specific song danced to
To the left
Repetition of dance directions, emphasizing movement
To the left
-To the left
-To the left
-And the right
-With me
Repetition of dancing experiences with different individuals
And with me
-And with him
-All night
-To the left
Repetition of dance directions, reinforcing the scene
To the left
-To the left
-To the left
-And the right
-With me
Repetition of dancing experiences with various partners
And with me
-And with him
-All night
-I remember
Repetition of reminiscing about Sublime
When Sublime was one of your
Specifically addressing Sublime as a favorite band
Favourite bands
Recollection of a call received during idle moments
You called me on my work shy hands
-And nothing ever seemed
-To last that long
-You used to dance with me
-To that song
-To the left
Repetition of dance directions with a partner
To the left
-To the left
-To the left
-And the right
-With me
Repetition of dancing experiences with different individuals
And with me
-And with him
-All night
-To the left
-To the left
Blank line, potential pause or shift in focus
To the left
Repetition of dance directions, reinforcing the scene
To the left
-And the right
-With me
-And with me
Blank line, potential pause or shift in focus
And with him
Repetition of dancing experiences with various partners
All night
-I remember
Reiteration of reminiscing about Sublime
When sublime was
Referring to Sublime as a favorite band
Your favourite band
Recollection of a call received during idle moments
You called me on my work shy hands
