Greetings to the New Brunette

Blly Bragg

Intro: G D C D G D Am7

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 sat out on the fire escape talking

Shirley, what did you say about running before we were walking

Sometimes when we're as close as this 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 have left me all of a muddle

Shirley, we are joined in the ideological 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, could we get through the night without mentioning family

The people from your church agree It's not much of a career

Trying the handles of parked cars Whoops,there goes another year

Whoops,there goes another pint of beer

Here we are in our summer years

Living on ice-cream and chocolate kisses

Would the leaves fall from the trees

If I was your old man and you were my missus

Shirley, give my greetings to the new brunette

Fun song to play, and by the way, sounds great played on a 12 string.
