English Kiss Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

D'you remember the story 

In the bloody chamber 

About the mad tiger 

He licks the skin off of women. 

I tell you samantha 

I could wear those stripes (straps ? !) for you. 

Have you prayed, have you chanted 

With the symbols and incense 

To both krishna and buddha 

And the goddess of fortune 

For an indian lover 

To wake kundalini 

Your beautiful yonni 

But also iscariot 

Who comes to betray us 

With just one english kiss. 

Deep in the autumn 

I lie in my bedroom 

Just one more long shadow 

Fall into the corners 

I reach for a woman 

Who harbors in darkness 

She lands on a mountain 

Sways for a moment 

Crashes in pieces all over my eyes. 

All over my eyes 

And when you get tired 

Of fake little evenings 

Slip through your fingers 

And don't keep their promise. 

Such a sad vision 

It breaks up my daydream 

Such a sad vision, breaks up my daydream 

Look up that sleeve, where is the rabbit 

Already secreted along with the dove 

Where is the passion, already depleted 

Just like the love.
