Of the low spark of high heeled boys

And that's just what they'll do

Gotta get some shoes.
Gotta get a new belt.
Gotta get some jeans.
Gotta get a new top.
Shop, shop, until we drop, drop.
Rockin' down the escalator.
Moshin' in the elevator.
Shop, shop, until we drop, drop.

Let's Go To The Mall by Scotty Vanity

Now it's he, and not you
Who is stuck in a stew

...in the goo
and you learned something too
Something you never knew
On the steps of the palace

Put on my blue suede shoes and boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the delta blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

You might have something to lose

What you gonna do in those shoes

Got some partners I can count on
Called the boogie-woogie sheep

Blue shoes, blue shoes
Bright and shiny new shoes
Blue shoes, new shoes
Walking down the street

How can I marry such a pretty little girl
When I have no shoes to put on

Heaz said...

You got your
Toecaps reinforced with steel,
Hard-wearing sole and heel,
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe

-"Quality Shoe", Mark Knopfler
