In These Shoes - Lyrics by Kirsty Maccoll


Lyrics
I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said in these shoes? I don't think so
I said honey, let's do it here.
So I'm sitting at a bar in guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said I've got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day.I said in these shoes? No way, jose
I said honey, let's stay right here.
No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo(I don't like to dance, I can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo(how can I dance?
it's a scandal)
Then I met an englishman
Oh he said
Won't you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive.I said in these shoes? I doubt you'd survive.I said honey, let's do it.
Let's stay right here.
No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo(I don't like to dance, I can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo(how can I dance? it's a scandal)
