‘Greetings To The New Brunette’ is the second single released from Bragg’s album ‘Talking with the Taxman about Poetry’ in 1986. The single reached No.58 in the UK Singles Chart.
A classic song about a car thief talking openly to his partner about their current and future life with some of Billy’s most memorable lines including `How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team. The very entertaining video contains a lot of archive footage of couples – laughing, kissing, pogoing, getting married underwater even boxing.
The Million Things That Never Happened' is out now on CD and Digitally. Buy on CD, stream now and pre-order the 12" vinyl LP to get it at the earliest available date https://BBragg.lnk.to/TMTTNH

Lyrics:
Shirley
It's quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new room
Shirley
You're my reason to get out of bed before noon
Shirley
You know when we sat out on the fire escape talking
Shirley
What did you say about running before we were walking
Sometimes when we're as close as this
It's like we're in a dream
How can you lie there and think of england
When you don't even know who's in the team
Shirley
Your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle
Shirley
We are joined in the ideological cuddle
I'm celebrating my love for you
With a pint of beer and a new tattoo
And if you haven't noticed yet
I'm more impressionable when my cement is wet
Politics and pregnancy
Are debated as we empty our glasses
And how I love those evening classes
Shirley
You really know how to make a young man angry
Shirley
Can we get through the night without mentioning family
The people from your church agree
It's not much of a career
Trying the handles of parked cars
Whoops, there goes another year
Whoops, there goes another pint of beer
Here we are in our summer years
Living on icecream and chocolate kisses
Would the leaves fall from the trees
If I was your old man and you were my missus
Shirley
Give my greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Give my greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
Greetings to the new brunette
Shirley
