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.
Greetings to the new brunette,
Greetings to the new brunette,
Greetings to the new brunette,
Greetings to the new brunette,
To the new brunette,
Greetings to the new brunette.
Billy Bragg is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist born in Barking, Essex, in 1957. His music combines elements of folk, punk, and soul with politically and socially charged lyrics, aligning with the tradition of protest songs. Bragg began his musical career in the 1980s, influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. His direct style and incisive songs have won him a wide audience and established him as one of Britain's most important singer-songwriters. Among his most notable albums are "Brewing Up a Storm" (1986), "Talking with the Taxman About Poetry" (1989), and "Mermaid Avenue" (1998), a collaboration with Wilco and Ralph Stanley that revisits Woody Guthrie's unpublished songs. Bragg is also a politically active activist engaged in the fight for workers' rights and against social injustice. His music has always reflected his worldview and his civic commitment.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
