Sugababes - Never Gonna Dance Again

SUGABABES \| Never Gonna Dance Again

LYRICS:

Circles on the floor I'm getting down low
But things ain't right
You're gone I'm losing ground, no
Do you remember
When your head was mine
It's all I ever think when it comes to you and I
No I can't feel right
How we couldn't seal the deal
The rhythm kept us going the only thing I feel

And so I'm never gonna dance again
I lost the rhythm when you said it's over
And as the final record starts to fade
I feel the dance floor turning colder
And so I'm never gonna dance again
'Cos all the music in my world is faded
I know it's never gonna be the same
I guess our moves just never made it

From the start, a work of art
A perfect picture painting
That I stored in my heart
We weren't so bright
You know we couldn't get it right
Our bodies intertwined
Now I can't get you out my mind
As we danced you know, our feelings show
You ought to know you got me
As we dance and flowed
My heart exposed
Now I'm alone
You lost me baby

And so I'm never gonna dance again
I lost the rhythm when you said it's over
And as the final record starts to fade
I feel the dance floor turning colder
And so I'm never gonna dance again
'Cos all the music in my world is faded
I know it's never gonna be the same
I guess our moves just never made it

I'm getting down but the rhythm's all wrong
The record goes around
And they're playing our song
I get into the groove but it's giving me pain
There's nothing you can do for me Mr. DJ

And so I'm never gonna dance again
I lost the rhythm when you said it's over
And as the final record starts to fade
I feel the dance floor turning colder
And so I'm never gonna dance again
'Cos all the music in my world is faded
I know it's never gonna be the same
I guess our moves just never made it

It's over, it's over
And so I'm never gonna dance again

REVIEWS
x 'Never Gonna Dance Again', a collaboration with Xenomania, (...) seems to showcase a more reflective Sugababes. Its desperately sad disco lament - "As the final record starts to fade, I feel the dancefloor turning colder" - is conducted almost entirely at mid-tempo. Nick Levine

x A Xenomania production, this excellent song originated in 2005 but never made the Taller..album. Re-engineered for Amelle, she starts the vocals on the first verse in a mid-tempo, reflective and dramatic mood. Keisha does the second verse and the chorus is harmonised superbly against acoustic guitar and warm synths. Heidi's middle section vocals highlight the mood of the song, atmospheric and lamenting the death of a relationship in a nightclub scene. Classic Sugababes and you can't help be moved by Heidi's cries of "it's over" at the end of the track. Daniel Gee

x Never Gonna Dance Again is another early misfire - a relationship breakdown anthem set on a dancefloor that seems to be striving to recreate the dance appeal of Madonna's last LP release. It's amiable without ever coming close to the best in the Sugababes' back catalogue. IndieLondon
