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 ice cream and chocolate kisses

And would the leaves fall from the trees

If I was your old man and you were my misses?

Give my greetings to the new brunette

Shirley

Greetings to the new brunette
