Can
Ginger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bad news go 'way
Call round some day
In March or May
I can't be bothered now!

My bonds and shares
May fall downstairs
Who cares, who cares?
I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now!

I'm up among the stars
On earthly things I frown
I'm throwing off the bars
That held me down!

I'll pay the piper
When times are riper
Just now I shan't




Because you see
I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now!

Line by Line Meaning

Holdin' hands at midnight
Enjoying a romantic moment with someone special late at night


Beneath a starry sky
Under the beautiful sight of the sky with stars shining bright


Nice work if you can get it
It's a beautiful thing to experience


And you can get it if you try
It is achievable if you put in the effort to make it happen


Strollin' with the one girl
Taking a leisurely walk with a loved one


Sighin' sigh after sigh
Feeling happy and content with the special person beside you


Just imagine someone
Think of a person who could make life beautiful


Waiting at the cottage door
Appearing at the door of a beautiful home, eager to see you


Where two hearts become one
Sharing genuine love with another person


Who could ask for anything more?
It's an ideal situation that can't be topped


Loving one who loves you
Finding someone who reciprocates your love


And then takin' that vow
Making a promise to be with each other always


And if you get it, won't you tell me how?
If you manage to achieve this kind of love, could you share your secrets?

I appreciate the fact that you donā€™t try and pretend that they taste super good or anything, youā€™re honest about the taste and youā€™re honest about the benefits.

@Zoe-dy4uk

Everyone knows they taste bad lmao

@br1dgett

@@Zoe-dy4uk I know but some people try to sugarcoat things and say ā€œmy homemade version tastes great!ā€ or something like that. Sheā€™s honest that it still doesnā€™t taste great, but itā€™s a good alternative to buying it from the store.

@faziefyzul1831
