Kirsty MacColl Lyrics
"In These Shoes"

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said "lets make love on a mountaintop
under the stars on a big hard rock"
I said "in these shoes? I dont think so."
I said "honey, lets do it here."

So I was sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said "I've got a powerful horse outside
climb on the back i'll take you for a ride.
I know a little place we can get there
before 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,
como se puede bailar?, es un escandalo

And then I met an Englishman. "Oh," he said, "what are you afraid of?"
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.

No le gusta caminar,
No puede montar a caballo,
como se puede bailar?, es un escandalo

No le gusta caminar,
No puede montar a caballo,
como se puede bailar?, es un escandalo

Let's stay right here."
