Dancing with Charlie - Chris Rea

Charlie was a loser till that sunny day

No-one saw him leaving as he sailed away

Treated like a sinner, no-one gave a damn

Till Charlie threw two sixes

Now he’s got them in his hand

Now they’re waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

No-one seems to know how

No-one seems to care

Doesn’t really matter just as long as you are there

Party in the moonlight, free drinks at the bar

You can bet what’s in your pocket that Charlie won’t be far

Now they’re waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

Charlie bought a jet plane, Charlie rides the sky

Friends appear from nowhere, Charlie gets them high

Big D was a gambler with everything to lose

Charlie didn’t have anything

So he didn’t have to choose

And they’re waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

And they’re standing in line to go dancing with Charlie

They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
