Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo

It hardly seems possible that it is eight years since Kirsty MacColl was killed in that boat "accident". Such a magnificent talent, from her early days with New England and There's A Guy Works Down the Chipshop Swears He's Elvis through Days and the best Xmas record ever Fairytale of New York with the Pogues (back in the charts again this year, I see), to this classic.

I love it! RIP...

Kirsty MacColl - In These Shoes?

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill 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?
I dont think so
I said honey, lets do it here.

So Im sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said Ive got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, Ill 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, lets stay right here.

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I dont like to dance, I cant ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo
(how can I dance? its a scandal)

Then I met an Englishman
Oh he said
Wont 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, lets do it.
Lets stay right here.
