A Kiss without a Moustache

from Words & Groove by Karen Hunter

/

lyrics

A kiss without a moustache is like an egg without the salt

Skin deep beauty stiletto filled dream
Baby’s busy working, working the machine
Arm round a lamp-post a finger in her belt
A toot to take her mind from another welt
Out till sunrise, she knows what she wants
it’s a kiss without the moustache, an egg without the salt

Single letter streets lead to broken sleep
Waiting in the doorway to make ends meet
Deep down she’d doubted it would come to this
Superman would save her from the stench and mess
Guess he’s running late, can’t see no blue lighting bolt
Bringing clean shaved kisses like eggs without salt

Met him on Sunday he was mowing the lawn
Pretty brown skin in his rugby uniform
Only a boy would have missed those cues
Lady with her head full of poor me blues
Tried to take it slowly no cry of assault
To steal the juice from the lips of an egg without the salt

When it turned to custard she flicked him away
Somehow the Government is always there to pay
For the late night parties in the suburban zone
For the broken arm chair and the sticky bud cone
She didn’t want to say it was anyone’s fault
All she ever wanted was a kiss without the salt

The ladies order and the ladies pay
The L word breathes life into another day
Turning full circle, kind of dizzy from the whorl
Running out of money, running out of twirl
Even got a day job just to see how it felt.
Without the kisses, moustaches, the eggs and the salt
