“Dressing Up” was written about Robert’s ritual of putting on his makeup before each show. It is a mainly electronic song, with some quiet picked guitar from Smith and a synthesised panpipe sound that will end any confusion you might have about what decade it’s from.
Dressing Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Going under slowly
It never seems too late
Going under so slow, oh so slow
Dressing up to kiss
I'm dressing up to touch all this
[Chorus 1]
Dressing up, dressing up
Oh, I'm dressing up to dance all week
Dressing up, dressing up
I'm dressing up to sleep
[Verse 2]
Dressing up to kiss
Dressing up to be all this
I could eat your face
I could eat all of you
[Chorus 2]
Dressing up, dressing up, dressing up, dressing up
Oh, this night will never let me go
Dressing up, dressing up, dressing up, dressing up
This night will never, never let me
[Verse 3]
Going under slowly
Ah, never seems too late
Going under slow, oh
You'll pick me up again
