Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - MY HEART SKIPPED lyrics

rate me

Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment

Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount

A plan that I can implement

to make a dent on ignorance

Instead of drunk belligerence

and the dissidence of miscreants

Especially in this instance

with the never ending persistence

to use the words in each sentence

as if they were blunt instruments

to beat a hole in the defence

of this beauty and her innocence

which serves to just build resistance

in spite of all my good intents.

The beat that my heart skipped

This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met

Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret

No disrespect

We just left a lot of people upset

And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect

Well good god damn and other such phrases

I haven’t heard a beat like this in ages

To miss such a beat would have been outrageous

But when you heart skips a beat its ruthless and aimless

She caught my attention in her fishnets

Then she reeled me in expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick sex

But that weren’t the case with this platinum princess

She’s attracted my interest

So I wanted to impress….

Upon her all the positive things

That come form having more than just a one night fling

But that’s something that’s easier in theory than in practice

Since pick up lines are tactics

To get prey to the mattress

And this actress

Is practiced

In shunning such theatrics

When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics

So my genuine advances are met with po-faced scepticism

Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them

Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom

God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them

But I really want to know what she thinks of me

Because I’m loving every idiosyncrasy

But I ain’t one to jump through hoops to make a 1st impression

Been there, done that, learnt the worst of lessons

We want to be loved for who we appear to be instead of who we are

So I real selves take a backseat behind the pomp and the façade

And that’s as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard

As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard

This is the beat that my heart skipped.<br />
