Billy Bragg - Shirley lyrics
Shirley, it's so 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 know who's in the team?
 Shirley, you're 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 hadn't noticed yet
 I'm more impressionable when my cement is wet
 Politics and pregnancy are debated as we emptyBilly Bragg - Shirley - http://motolyrics.com/billy-bragg/shirley-lyrics.html
 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 was my missus?
 Shirley,
 Give my greetings to the new brunette
