Lyrics:
You Don't Have To Change Your Shoes (To Walk All Over Me) [Version (a)]:
You don't have to change your shoes to walk all over me
You don't have to say you're sorry when you're glad to see
Me suffering while you're out and being fancy free
Oh you don't have to change your shoes to walk all over me
You don't have to change your shoes to walk all over me
You don't have to say you're sorry when you're glad to see
Me suffering while you're out and being fancy free
Oh you don't have to change your shoes to walk all over me
The Song:
In order for it to feel more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with fragments of songs, melodies, and even tons of unwritten song titles. "You Don't Have To Change Your Shoes" is one of the song fragments, a verse of which appears on the back of "I'm Down."
A lot of these extra things are references to older artwork and songs, but this one seems pretty original. The art does say it is "sung with great success by Devlin Hogue," who is not a real person. It is likely named after one of McSweeney's assistant editors, Chelsea Hogue. (I don't know who Devlin is; McSweeney's is Song Reader's publisher in the States.)
Also it says the song is available from "Battlin' Hansen Songs And Dances," lol.
