In These Shoes? (live at Shepherd's Bush Empire 2010)

alriiiiiight
'ello!
(hello!)
well this'll be interesting
(laughs)
I'd just like to point out my role here is because-apart from being a massive fan of Kirsty MacColl-I used the song I'm about to sing as the theme tune to my first show
so I'm delighted to be here and bare with me, thank you very much
I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to trill
Wherever he went he said
"lets make love on a mountain top
Under the stars, on a big hard rock"

I said, "In these shoes?
What is this, the peace corps?"
I said, "Honey, lets do it here"

So were sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He says, "I got a powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, Ill 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, lets stay right here

No le gusta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar
Es un escandalo

Then I met an Englishman
"Oh, " he said, "Are you American?"
"Wont you walk up and down on my spine
It makes me feel strangely alive"

I said, "In these shoes?
Oh, I doubt youd survive"
I said, "Honey, lets do it"

No le gusta caminar
No puede montar a caballo
Como se puede bailar
Es un escandalo
