ShirleyIt's quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new roomShirleyYou're my reason to get out of bed before noonShirleyYou know when we sat out on the fire escape talkingShirleyWhat did you say about running before we were walking?Sometimes 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 teamShirleyYour sexual politics have left me all of a muddleShirleyWe 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 glassesLetras de cancionesAnd how I love those evening classesShirleyYou really know how to make a young man angryShirleyCan we get through the night without mentioning family?The 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 ice cream and chocolate kissesAnd would the leaves fall from the treesIf I was your old man and you were my misses?Give my greetings to the new brunetteShirleyGreetings to the new brunetteShirleyGreetings to the new brunetteShirleyGreetings to the new brunetteShirley
