Discover the story of the song > Crocodile Shoes – Jimmy Nail

The lyrics are about a man who drinks a lot and has a romantic partner that he loves. Even though he is with his partner, he still thinks about someone else. He feels sad and old on the inside, and his shoes cry too because they know how much love he has for his partner. The man drinks to forget about his problems, but deep down he knows that he has lost important things in his life. His only friends are his shoes, which cry along with him.
