New Rhetoric – Two Left Feet lyrics

Verse
Got several pairs of shoes
But the rights don’t fit
On the dance floor
I jerk and trip

My feet feel weird
But only one’s a flaw
And it rubs in its shoe
When I stand tall

Hook
Got two left feet
Feel them fighting in my stroppy sprint
I’ve got two left feet
It’s hard to follow footprints

Verse
You’d think it’s desired
Not a visual flaw
That both my feet are identical

I get stares and glares
And look so awkward
Never sure how
To out my best foot forward

Hook
Two left feet
They’re no trouble when I sit or sleep
But two left feet
Hold me down when I try to leap

Choral Refrain
The one that’s right is on my proper left
Some sort of podiatric schism
The other flops like a fledgling bird
And though it’s on the right, it just isn’t

I’m told it’s not a deformity
But a problem with lack of conformity
My movements look so uncomfortable
And everyone watching concurs

Hook
(I have) two left feet
Strangely sounds like none are right
Two left feet
A perfect match but not quite

(Instrumental)

Bridge
Two left feet
You get used to it after a while
Two left feet
That suddenly make me smile
Two left feet
Why do they get such attention
Two left feet
Oh, did I fail to mention

Choral Refrain
If you want my left shoe on the other foot
You know it still fits me nice
I imagine it’d be the same type of thing
But no one pokes fun at two rights

Bridge Build
Two left feet
No trouble when I sit or sleep
Two left feet
The reason I can’t compete
Two left feet
With a terrible sense of direction
Two left feet
They’ll never pass inspection

Choral Refrain
The one that’s right is on my proper left
Some sort of podiatric schism
The other flops like a fledgling bird
And though it’s on the right, it just isn’t

I’m told it’s not a deformity
But a product of lack of conformity
My movements look so uncomfortable
And everyone watching concurs

Hook
I have two left feet
Clumsy and crossed when I sprint
Two left feet
Hard to follow footprints
Got two left feet
Two lefts don’t make a right
Two left feet
Perfectly matched, but not quite
Two left feet
Suddenly make me smile
Two left feet
Think I’ll sit down for a while
