I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill, wherever he went
He said: Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said: In these shoes?
I don't think so
I said: Honey, let's do it here
So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said: I've got a poweful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll 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, let's stay right here
No le gusta caminar No puede montar a caballo
''(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)''
Como se puede bailar - es un escandolo
''(How she can dance - it's outrageous!)''
Then I met an Englishman
Oh, he said...
Won't 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, let's do it!
Let's stay right here
No le gusta caminar No puede montar a caballo
''(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)''
Como se puede bailar - es un escandolo
''(How she can dance - it's outrageous!)''
He was dressed to thrill, wherever he went
He said: Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said: In these shoes?
I don't think so
I said: Honey, let's do it here
So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said: I've got a poweful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll 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, let's stay right here
No le gusta caminar No puede montar a caballo
''(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)''

Kirsty MacColl
Kirsty Anna MacColl (, mə-KAWL; 10 October 1959 – 18 December 2000) was an English singer and songwriter, daughter of folk singer Ewan MacColl. She recorded several pop hits in the 1980s and 1990s, including "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" and cover versions of Billy Bragg's "A New England" and the Kinks' "Days". Her first single, "They Don't Know", had chart success a few years later when covered by Tracey Ullman. MacColl also sang on a number of recordings produced by her then-husband Steve Lillywhite, most notably "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues. Her death in 2000 led to the "Justice for Kirsty" campaign.
