Lyrics In These Shoes? - Kirsty MacColl

In These Shoes?

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)
