lyrics

Shod in slippers I walk the bridleway
Tread on egshells in wellingtons,
On the boulevards in unsuitable footwear,
Searching for the shoes that fit.

Take my hand, let me lead you astray,
Come with me to Carnaby Street,
See the winklepickers shiny and new,
These are the shoes that will fit you.

Roaming wild in another real world,
Slouching on my own two feet,
Limping slowly through quicksand I understand,
I need the shoes that will fit me.

Put your boots on, go out in the rain,
You'll get used to the discontent,
Life isn't fair, you can't get what you need,
You'll never find the shoes that fit.

Step together, step away,
Put your feet down, turn away,
Dancing partners, dance away,
Step together, step this way.

Road is grey and soles are thin,
Lost again at the turning point,
Weaving leaves and branches, tying grass and splitting hair,
Trying to make the shoes that fit.

Blame the kit bag you pack your troubles in,
Switching from sandals to Cuban heels,
Forget the clues and leave your footsteps in the wilderness
Take off your shoes and walk this way.

Step together, step away.
Put your feet down, turn away.
Dancing partners, dance away.
Step together, step this way

Into the clear Cornish air they bring a whiff of the gasworks of Nechells, the drone of traffic on the Gravelly Hill Interchange and the splendour of the Chateau Impney. ... more
