about
A slightly cheeky song, revised and recorded as a solo version 2021. It was inspired by a love of the songs of Victoria Wood. I was a huge fan of Victoria Wood and my original version of this song was written in 2006 with a humble attempt to capture a little of her style. I found her inspirational, in many ways, as a female performer, comedienne, songwriter. It is hugely sad, she passed away so young xx
lyrics
Cold Feet
You be Tarzan, I’ll play Jane
Swing from wardrobe, wild again
Roar like a tiger ‘til you think I’m insane!
Come on my love, let’s go!
I’ll wear fake fur in a novel way
Be inventive with an ice-cube tray
Ignore the nettles on a summer’s day!
But one thing I must know…
Can I …keep my fluffy, purple bed socks on?!
Keep my fluffy, purple bed socks on?!
They’re rather sweet and quite discrete
Who wants a woman to get cold feet?!
Keep my fluffy, purple bed socks on?!
I’ll wear Zeena’s leather dress
Or act real coy like a sweet princess
I’ll stand on me ‘ead ‘til me hair looks a mess!
Come on my love, let’s go!
Use body paint straight from the jar
Pretend we’re strangers, meet in a bar
I’ll give you directions in the back of your car!
But one thing I must know…
Can I…Keep my…
I’ll be your Lassie, ask for more
Not be embarrassed but try to ignore
Peculiar looks from the folks next door!
Come on my love, let’s go
Oh be my hero, down to the hose
I’ll sing you a song wearing just a rose
Tonight’s the night when anything goes!
Come on my love, let’s go
Can I…Keep my…
Keep my…
Xx
