Read Time:1 Minute, 17 Second

Shirley
Its quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new room
Shirley
Youre 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 were as close as this
Its like were in a dream
How can you lie there and think of england
When you dont even know whos in the team

Shirley
Your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle
Shirley
We are joined in the ideological cuddle

Im celebrating my love for you
With a pint of beer and a new tattoo
And if you havent noticed yet
Im 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
Its 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 were my missus

Shirley
Give my greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Give my greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
