In These Shoes? by Kirsty Maccoll

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)
