Lyrics

A Short Song About Shoes

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.

Well this is no life, but it's the life that I choose

I guess I'll never be the man in the expensive shoes

Now maybe every fight presents a new way to lose

And I will never walk around in your expensive shoes

But there's a wind that blows

Every time you light up your cigarette

There must be someone looking out for you

But if you don't know how lucky you are

Then maybe you just never will do

Now you continue chasing something that is quicker than you

I guess that everybody does it and heaven knows I do

So maybe every lover has a taste for the blues

Maybe I'll never walk a mile in your expensive shoes

But there's a wind that blows

Every time you light up your cigarette

There must be someone looking out for you

But if you don't know how lucky you are

Then maybe you just never will do

Well this no life but it's the life that I choose

And it's not exactly lucrative but I guess it'll do

So work a little hard and someday you'll get yours

And I sincerely apologise for all the trouble that I've caused

But there's a wind that blows

Every time you light up your cigarette

There must be someone looking out for you

But if you don't know how lucky you are

Then maybe you just never will do

Oh maybe you just never will do

Now maybe you just never will do
