Designer Shoes

Based on Malta 2000
Claudette Pace — Desire

From the first day I wore them
To the last step I'll take
I've desire to own them
Wear them and make them mine

(Designer…?)
(Designer…!)

If I'm down or I'm low
To websites I go
For a well-needed treat
That will ship to my home

When I click "Add to cart"
I feel joy in my heart
Turns my sadness to glee
That's my sole therapy

Deep in my heart is designer shoe love
Deep in my house boots and slippers pile up
Deep in my closet there's no space for more
Some barely fit - but there's no bargain I'd miss
(Oh yeah)

Give me heels, give me slides
Give me clogs and knee-highs
Give me plimsolls of fibres
From dead crocodile

High-top trainers with soles
Of mother of pearl
Every colour and size
Less is never enough!

Each time I fly my shoes take up the hold
Twelve check-in bags and a grand carry-on
Bought two new houses to make space for more
Favourite brand? - I'll try to name a top three:
(Oh yeah?)

Jeffrey Campbell...
Badgley Mischka...
Axel Hirsoux

Brand new, vintage or old
Ten inch platforms or klomps
Hustling hard to afford
Fiorucci, Tom Ford

These designers aren't cheap
But I find the means
Though my friends do imply
That it's gone ‘bit too far

Sold off my kids to afford custom crocs
Mortgaged my house for an ostrich sabot
Burgled a bank for new uggs from Dior
Chased by police - but looking fly in gold heels

(Deep in your heart is designer shoe love)
I want them all!
(Deep in your mind there is trauma ignored)
Deep down I know this is out of control
Don't care one bit - my sea of footwear's my bliss!
(Oh yeah)

Designer…
Designer…
