For Lucy, my F-D.

lyrics

F*CK ME SHOES

She sat there crying all alone,
He had sworn blind to her that he would phone.
She wept and wished she’d learned to scream.
We’ve got some issues here with self-esteem,
But she said ‘I’m gonna go out anyway,
‘Cause I don’t have a great deal to loose,
And I think I’ll wear my drop-dead dress
And that pair of f*ck-me shoes.’
Those shoes...Those shoes...
Then she looked at herself in the drop-dead dress
And those outrageous f*ck-me shoes.

And the Mirror sighed
‘You’re a lovely sight’.
Well she almost died
But she knows the Mirror’s right.

She walked out onto that dance-floor
Where she’d often danced with him before,
Pretending she was in a play,
She gets through lots of scary things that way.
She danced alone with her eyes half-shut,
And the space around her grew,
As the crowd watched the light hit her drop-dead dress
And sparkle off each f*ck-me shoe.
Those shoes...Those shoes...
Yes she looked pretty good in that drop-dead dress
And those amazing f*ck-me shoes.

And the young man sighed
‘You’re a lovely sight’
Well she almost died,
But she just said, ‘That’s true, you’re right!’

These days she says, ‘I can’t agree
With your Determinist philosophy.
I have Free Will, and that’s the truth,
That nice new man of mine is living proof.
Predestination doesn’t wash with me,
You always get the chance to choose.
I could have hung my head
And stayed in bed
And put on ‘Simply Red’,
But I chose instead
To put on the f*ck-me shoes.’
Those shoes...Those shoes...
Yes she stomped on the laws
Of Effect and Cause
With those fabulous f*ck-me shoes.

With the patent leather that’s black, black, black,
And the open-toe and the slutty sling-back,
And the five-inch heels that go clack, clack, clack,
Oh, I tell you they were f*ck-me shoes.
