On the song "hoofer" from their album called The Mirror, Spooky Tooth sang a line that appears to be an expression.... that I've never heard before. Perhaps it's a British motto... What does it mean to say "At no time will my feet leave my ankles"

When I didnt get the answer under music category, I submitted the same inquiry under languages. I had an overwhelming response - the best explanation being that Hoofer means "dancer" and when that dancer is light on his or her feet it is said that it is as if their feet left their ankles.
Since the lyrical content lends itself to not letting jerks get you down and to just keep looking up - I assume NOT letting your feet leave your ankles means you're being rooted... perhaps that's a stretch, but unless Gary Wright himself sends me an email telling me otherwise, I guess that'll be the interpretation!
