Kiss This Thing Goodbye - Del Amitri

My one, true love, You can guess what I've been thinking of? God knows, we've tried To stay together while our hearts divided Put my boxes in the post I leave my keys behind It might not be the end of now Oh it's time, to kiss this love goodbye To kiss this love goodbye You get, our friends I will find a little place to rent Out here now, doing fine And I'll pretend you never crossed my mind So take my photo off the wall And renovate your life One day we might meet but now Oh it's time To kiss this love goodbye To kiss this love goodbye I give you back your life Darling please don't cry Just put my boxes in the post I leave my keys behind It might not be the end But now its time To kiss this love goodbye To kiss this love goodbye My one, true love, You can guess what I've been thinking of?

Doomed from the start We met with a goodbye kiss I broke my wrist It all kicked off I had no choice You said that you didn't mind 'Cause love's hard to find La-la-la-la Maybe the days we had are gone Living in silence for too long Open your eyes and what do you see No more laughs No more photographs Turning slowly Looking back, see No words can save this You're broken and I'm pissed Run along like I'm supposed to Be the man I ought to Rock and roll sent us insane I hope someday that we will meet again Running wild Giving it everyone Now that's all done Cause we burnt out, that's what you do When you have everything It can't be true La-la-la-la Maybe the days we had are gone Living in silence for too long Open you're eyes and what do you see The last stand Let go of my hand Turning slowly Looking back, see No words can save this You're broken and I'm pissed Run along like I'm supposed to Be the man I ought to Rock and roll sent us insane I hope someday that we could meet again You go your way And I'll go my way No words can save us This lifestyle made us Run along like i'm supposed to Be the man I ought to Rock and roll sent us insane I hope someday that we will meet again

As I slide the key into the ignition of this old truck and fire it up I'm struck hard by the heaviness of this situation My eyes are fixed on the small silver half heart keychain You gave me dangling in the dashboard light I read the word "forever" over and over again, I wanna cry I turn off my radio as I turn off your county road To pick you up just like I've done at least a thousand times The gravel underneath these tires Half mile stretch of old barbed wire Drops of rain falling from the sky seem to know my pain Know that I'm about to Reach out to hold your hand in mine Feel your love baby one more time Press against your lips and hold you tight I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye I could put it off for another day Act like everything's gonna be okay It's gonna break my heart to see you cry I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye See it's not that what I got to do Is more important than you It's just what I gotta do And I know you don't understand Hell I don't understand myself As I pull up to your house I feel my head spinning around Just thinkin' about how everything is about to change Every step I take towards your door I'm a little less certain than the step before Oh but I know, I know, I know what I gotta do I got to reach out and hold your hand in mine Feel your love baby one more time Press against your lips and hold you tight I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye I could put it off for another day Act like everything's gonna be okay It's gonna break my heart to see you cry I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye Reach out and hold your hand in mine Feel your love baby one more time Press against your lips and hold you tight Yeah I could put it off for another day And act like everything's gonna be okay It's gonna break my heart to see you cry I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye Goodbye

Everybody in the funhouse Says they want out But we're taking our time 'Cause we're in love with time Whole generations thinkin' of themselves As infidels and pop stars While the bomb loses patience We line up and just lean against the bar Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love Caught in the headlights Wide-eyed and ready to receive We are the dead life Locked in dogfights, lost in disbelief And these dark days Makes the nights seem brighter than they are So, while Fleet Street rolls and the moon glows In the funhouse, the fun starts Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love, love Love We are the dead life, we are the dead life So come on, come on Born in the half-light of threats and bribes In a hopeless porn parade We get the dog's life, tidbits train us What to wear, what not to say When you're footloose and you just feel limbless Life gets in the way So, we get loaded or totally legless But stay the same Stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love, love (We're stone cold) stone cold sober Looking for bottles of love We're stone cold sober Looking, looking So come on, come on (Come on, come on) (Come on, come on) We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life We are the dead life, we are the dead life

Find something to do Something worth playing I'm just passing through Don't think I'll be staying 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like teardrop's dried I'll be gone in a second Right out of the blue Just as you're waking I'll be there to give you A little shoulder shaking But I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like a fleck in your eye It'll be gone in a second A second of love, a second of life A second remembering it right Watching a soul slip out of sight Into the glitter of the night In a second Find something to do Before I wander Into your mind Like a roll of thunder 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second Like a flash of light It'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second (I'll be there for you) 'Cause I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I promise you I I'll be gone in a second I'll be gone in a second
