About the Artist
Lyrics
Shirley, it's quite exciting To be sleeping here in this new room Shirley, you're my reason To get out of bed before noon Shirley, you know when We were sat on the fire escape talking Shirley, what did you say About running before we were walking? When we're looking close tonight It's like we're in a dream How can you lie there And think of England When you don't even know who's in the team? Shirley, your sexual politics Has left me all of a muddle Shirley, we're involved In the idealogical cuddle I'm celebrating my love for you With a pint of beer and a new tattoo And if you haven't noticed yet I'm more impressionable When my cement is wet Politics and pregnancy Are debated as we empty our glasses And how I love those evening classes Shirley, you really know how To make a young man angry Shirley, can we get through the night Without mentioning family? The people from your church agree It's not much of a career Trying the door handles of parked cars Whoops there goes another year Whoops there goes another year... Here we are in our summer years Living on ice cream and chocolate kisses And would the leaves fall from the trees If I was your old man And you were my missus Shirley, do we really have to agree With each other? Shirley, if we persevere There are things we'll discover After everything we've touched on tonight You're asking me if I really care If our love is gone in the morning Like the goldfish we won at the fair Greetings to the new brunette Greetings to the new brunette Greetings to the new brunette Greetings to the new brunette To the new brunette Greetings to the new brunette
