greetings to the new brunette (demo version)

Singer:billy bragg

shirley

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 were sat on the fire escape talking

shirley

what did you say

about running before we were walking?

when we're looking close tonight

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

has left me all of a muddle

shirley

we're involved

in the idealogical 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 door handles of parked cars

whoops there goes another year

whoops there goes another year. 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 missus

shirley

do we really have to agree

with each other?

shirley

if we persevere

there are things we'll discover

after everything we've touched on tonight

you're asking me if i really care

if our love is gone in the morning

like the goldfish we won at the fair
