In These Shoes? Lyrics - All I Ever Wanted: The Anthology - Kirsty Maccoll

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
