Jimmy Nail was a main staple of my childhood too man. This was the first single I bought, aged 5. Might sound daft to some, but he's a great singer and some of his later musical output is fantastic. The artists he worked with too (Gilmour, Harrison, Knopfler, Gary Moore, Sting etc)
I have only visited Newcastle once, but I will never forget it because the people were so friendly - so warm and welcoming to total strangers and that is exactly how this song by Jimmy makes me feel - thank you for such a lovely song
Reminds me of my childhood, I’m from Durham so grew up well aware of this song. What an underrated song. I think the daft music video made it come across as a novelty song
Wine, beer and spirits all the time Though I have you still she's always on my mind The rain falls down, I'm soaking through I'm an old man inside a young man's suit My crocodile shoes are crying too For they know how much love I have for you Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes Wine, beer and spirits take me down The lights are low and there's no one else around The waitress sure looks pretty and that's a bad sign I smile at her still you're always on my mind With your Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes I've lost so much in a short time Don't see my kids how I miss my wife I let the world slip through my hands And now I'm talking to the only friends I have Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes They're crying too They're crying too Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes
Reminds me of my childhood....25 years ago, my dad singing along to this,,,, how times have changed

Crocodile shoes good song I think
Wine, beer and spirits all the time
Though I have you still she's always on my mind
The rain falls down, I'm soaking through
I'm an old man inside a young man's suit
My crocodile shoes are crying too
For they know how much love I have for you
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
Wine, beer and spirits take me down
The lights are low and there's no one else around
The waitress sure looks pretty and that's a bad sign
I smile at her still you're always on my mind
With your
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
I've lost so much in a short time
Don't see my kids how I miss my wife
I let the world slip through my hands
And now I'm talking to the only friends I have
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
Crocodile shoes
They're crying too
They're crying too
Crocodile shoes Crocodile shoes
