Greetings to the New Brunette
Blly Bragg
Intro:
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 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, could 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
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
Greetings to the new brunette
Greetings to the new brunette

Fun song to play, and by the way, sounds great played on a 12 string.
