You don’t get to pick and choose parts of a person (whether it be mate, musician, co-worker, whatever.) Don’t be surprised when someone reclaims their identity - especially these days. We are not organ grinder monkeys. We are people.
DANCE MONKEY DANCE

I've got me such a very great man
Just as long as he does what I say - hey hey
I don't know why he's angry all the time
I mean - our love is strong as long as the dominos are in place
CHORUS:
Dance Monkey Dance
(The song and dance is one-sided in these stakes)
Dance Monkey Dance
(The sand's crumbling and falling back in place)
He's good on the guitar and he sings
I love it when he does my favorite songs
Then he asks me about his own tunes - it stings
Since I don't have the heart to tell him that they suck all along
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Unfuck yourself - you fallen such a long way
Be who you were before the shit rolled away
Yes - life and people have dulled your shine
it's no wonder you're crossing that line
You must crawl out, and up and take to the ground
before you can begin to run
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
OUTRO:
And then comes the politics
He's been on fire and is silent these days
I told him that he has a shine
(Just be loud and you - we like you when you joke around - FUCK)
There's no compartment
There's me and there's me and that's all you'll get
Be good to people around
And stop being selfish and treating people like shit

Great emotion here. Agree with the previous listener, the chorus vocals are interesting and very effective. And you have an amazing voice.

Epic!!! Love the panned vocals on the chorus, it gives it such a cool effect! Really love the melody, had me rocking along to it, great job!!

You had me at that guitar tone. Fabulous vocals, I love how the chorus overlaps with itself. You have an amazing voice! This takes me back to the 90s and I love it.
