A Roy Wood composition, this song not only finds him adding a number of medieval-style wood instruments to the mix, but also features a novel bass-only guitar attack.
[Verse 1]
The people throwing pennies in my soup
Expecting me to be ashamed of you
Now my needs are growing and I'm groping round
I am really groping round
[Chorus]
We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom
It wasn't my idea to dance
[Verse 2]
The prince of thunder gave his warning speech
His talons dared to grasp you from my reach
Once again you clutch me to your warming breast
Now I lay me down to rest
[Chorus]
We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom
It wasn't my idea to dance
[Bridge]
As dawn is nearing
I'm hearing tearful music
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
So I have given you the will to weep
For now you're at your last and final peak
Dangerously the past explodes about by ears
Loudly ringing through my ears
[Chorus]
We didn't break until the morning
One dramatic glance
Now it's too late to want your freedom
It wasn't my idea to dance
It wasn't my idea to dance
