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 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 are joined in the ideological 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 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 icecream and chocolate kisses
|
Would the leaves fall from the trees
|
If I was your old man and you WAS my missus
|
|
Shirley,
|
give my greetings to the new brunette
|
