Sam John - The Beat That My Heart Skipped lyrics

[INTRO] I ain't gonna take it no more I ain't gonna take it no more I ain't gonna stand idly by while the bridal reply Of a marriage of styles is "yeah, but what's their demographic?" I ain't gonna take it no more I ain't gonna take it no more I ain't gonna stand idly by with a tut and a sigh While inside we all cry out for something new I ain't gonna take it no more I ain't gonna take it no more Soulless music, artless lyrics Goalless movements, heartless gimmicks Controlled and clueless, careers lasting a minute If this is the big life, well I ain't looking to live it We ain't pushing boundaries, we're blowing them up We ain't trying to expand the scene, we want the scene to erupt So make some room on the floor and somebody bolt the doors Cause tonight we ain't seeking applause... Tonight, well, gee... We just wanna have some good new fashioned fun now, y'all! The beat that my heart skipped sounded like this [VERSE 1] 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 [HOOK] The beat that my heart skipped This is the beat that my heart skipped This is the beat that my heart skipped [Chorus] x2 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, but we 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 your heart skips a beat, it's ruthless and aimless [VERSE 2] She caught my attention in her fishnets Then she reeled me in, expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick s** But that weren't the case with this platinum princess She'd attracted my interest and I wanted to impress Upon her all the positive things That come from having more than just a one night fling But that's something 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 real scepticism Throwing compliments 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 first 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 our 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.. and it went.. [Chorus] 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 but we left a lot of people upset [Chorus] [X2] [VERSE 1] The beat that my heart skipped This is the beat that my heart skipped
