Greetings To The New Brunette (Demo Version) (2006 Reissue Bonus Track)

(专辑： Talking With The Taxman About Poetry - 1986)

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
