lyrics

LIPSTICK KISS

SHE’S THE ONE THEY TURN TO
WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LOW
SHE’S THE ONE THAT’S LEFT BEHIND
WHEN THE SUN GETS HIGH

SEE HER CROSSING TOWN NOW
AS SHE DOES EACH DAY
THEY TURN TO HER AND SMILE BUT
THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

AND THE DAYS’ CONVERSATIONS
ARE A TRANSITORY KIND
WITH THOSE EMPTY INVITATIONS
SHE WOULD RATHER LEAVE BEHIND

BUT SHE GRACIOUSLY OBLIGES
COS THERE’S ALWAYS ONE MORE CHANCE
THAT A LOVER MIGHT BECOME A FRIEND

SHE COULD NEVER LEARN TO
TAKE THE MIRROR DOWN
SO EVERYBODY THAT SHE MEETS
TURNS TO JOIN HER IN THE FRAME

FROM THE BIGGER PICTURE
YOU COULD READ HER FACE
SHE KNOWS THAT SOMETHING’S WRONG COS
SHE FEELS SO OUT OF PLACE

A SMILE, A DRESS, A LIPSTICK KISS,
( THE SOURCE OF HER DADDY’S PRAISES)
WELL IT’S A LONELY LONELY LONELY PLACE TO BE
WHEN YOUR MIND IS WHERE YOUR FACE IS

BUT SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS
SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW
SO SHE’LL TRY ONCE MORE AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND A LOVER MIGHT BECOME A FRIEND

about

Tammy Payne Bristol, UK

Tammy Payne has the lyrical bent of song writers like Rufus and Martha Wainwright etched in to a haunting zone of chill out lounge. A soul singer with a melancholic reserve, bringing ghosts of the blues like a modern day Peggy Lee.
