Never Mind and "One More Dance" were improvised in the studio, one after the other, so now I kind of see them as an inseparable pair that belong together. I particularly like the retro Sixties-cum-Seventies feel of this one. It's also a bit of a departure for me in that I begin with the chorus — I rarely begin with a chorus — and I end it on the bridge.
One more dance, one more dance
One more time, just one more chance
One more time to be with you
One more dance
And I remember how it used to be
And I remember all those nights
And I remember you and me
And all those years I gave to you
Well, I guess they don't mean a thing
And I guess I don't mean that much to you
There comes a time when the edges seem to blur
And the lights are growing dim
When the answers mock you when you're down
It's a struggle just to stay afloat
It's a fight to stay alive, to sink or swim
And I recall how it used to feel
I know I don't deserve you now
But I will always try to make you see
There comes a time when your past is all you've got
And your mistakes to pull you through
I've been a loner, I've been dying without you here
I'll take what I can take
Till I can't take no more from you
