Shirley

It's so 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 sat out on the fire escape talking

Shirley

What did you say about running before we were walking?

Sometimes when we're as close as this

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 have left me all of a muddle

Shirley

We're joined in the ideological cuddle

I'm celebrating my love to 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 the church agree

It's not much of a career

Trying the handles of parked cars

Whoops there goes another year

Whoops there goes another pint of beer

Here we are in our summer years

Living on ice cream and chocolate kisses

And would leaves fall from the trees

If I was your old man and you was my missus?

Shirley

Give my greetings to the new brunette
