Billy Bragg - Greetings To The New Brunette Lyrics
Shirley,It's quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new roomShirley,You're my reason to get out of bed before noonShirley,You know when we sat out on the fire escape talkingShirley,What did you say about running before we were walkingSometimes when we're as close as thisIt's like we're in a dreamHow can you lie there and think of englandWhen you don't even know who's in the teamShirley,Your sexual politics have left me all of a muddleShirley,We are joined in the ideological cuddleI'm celebrating my love for youWith a pint of beer and a new tattooAnd if you haven't noticed yetI'm more impressionable when my cement is wetPolitics and pregnancyAre debated as we empty our glassesAnd how i love those evening classesShirley,You really know how to make a young man angryShirley,Can we get through the night without mentioning familyThe people from your church agreeIt's not much of a careerTrying the handles of parked carsWhoops, there goes another yearWhoops, there goes another pint of beerHere we are in our summer yearsLiving on icecream and chocolate kissesWould the leaves fall from the treesIf i was your old man and you were my missusShirley,Give my greetings to the new brunette
