Shirley

Album: Billy Bragg Durasi: 3:41
[00:16.51]Shirley, it's so exciting to be sleeping here in this new room
[00:23.68]Shirley, you're my reason to get out of bed before noon
[00:30.75]Shirley, you know when we sat out on the fire escape talking
[00:37.82]Shirley, what did you say about running before we were walking?
[00:46.83]Sometimes when we're as close as this
[00:50.11]It's like we're in a dream
[00:53.97]How can you lie there and think of England
[00:57.10]When you don't even know who's in the team?
[01:01.09]Shirley, your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle
[01:07.80]Shirley, we're joined in the ideological cuddle
[01:16.92]I'm celebrating my love to you
[01:19.63]With a pint of beer and a new tattoo
[01:23.88]And if you haven't noticed yet
[01:26.56]I'm more impressionable when my cement is wet
[01:45.14]Politics and pregnancy are debated as we empty our glasses
[01:51.41]And how I love those evening classes
[01:58.99]Shirley, you really know how to make a young man angry
[02:05.63]Shirley, can we get through the night without mentioning family?
[02:14.69]The people from the church agree
[02:17.95]It's not much of a career
[02:21.83]Trying the handles of parked cars
[02:25.01]Whoops there goes another year, whoops there goes another pint of beer
[02:48.03]Here we are in our summer years
[02:51.49]Living on ice cream and chocolate kisses
[02:55.17]And would the leaves fall from the trees
[02:58.15]If I was your old man and you was my missus?
[03:06.64]Give my greetings to the new brunette
[03:08.62]Shirley
[03:10.35]Greetings to the new brunette
[03:12.90]Shirley
[03:14.09]Greetings to the new brunette
[03:16.06]Shirley
[03:17.78]Greetings to the new brunette
