Story Behind The Song
I saw a guy get on the train with green trainers with yellow accents. I was fascinated - they really stood out. He also had a pony tail. I thought, that's the sort of thing people write songs about, isn't it :-) So I did.

Lyrics
Green Shoes with Yellow Trim
well I'm not quite sure where to begin
Green shoes with yellow trim
And your amazing zany sense of style
Not to mention there's that smile
I'm not quite sure just where to start
For one you're very smart
And there's the crazy way you wear your hair
Not everyone would dare
you're warm and you're cuddly and never upset
the person you dislike you just haven't met You're happy to see me at the end of the day
And easy to be with and you like to play
Whenever you see me you're always alert
You're playful and funny and quite a big flirt
You're kind and you're gentle, you're loyal and true
There's no one who isn't attracted to you
Oh well, I'm not quite sure just what to do
I'm kinda stuck on you
And you're beguiling in a certain way
That anyone would say
you're warm and you're cuddly and never upset
the person you dislike you just haven't met You're happy to see me at the end of the day
And easy to be with and you like to play
Whenever you see me you're always alert
You're playful and funny and quite a big flirt
You're kind and you're gentle, you're loyal and true
There's no one who isn't attracted to you
Just you you you you you you
Oh yes, I still don't know just what to do
I'm really stuck on you
And though your list of virtues is quite long
For me you are so wrong
For me you are so wrong
For me you are so wrong
