Lyrics
Memories of Shilts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
England's goalkeeper since Gordon Banks
Consistent, reliable, a safe pair of hands
But despite all his saves and all his acrobatics
I can't help recalling something more dramatic
Of an incident in the back of a car
When Shilts was caught with his bottom bare
And the image of him and his apparent agility
Will stay with me longer than his goalkeeping ability
Bare! Caught with his bottom bare!
Bare! Caught with his bottom bare!
With his bottom bare, he was caught with his bottom bare!
With his bottom bare, he was caught with his bottom bare!
With his bottom bare
