lyrics

Found you in an alcove in the old ex-nunnery
Feet up on the window sill and telling me about your mum's infidelity
And the music that they play in the disco
And the moves that they deploy in the back room
Make you die a little inside
And got you sleeping around with the other guys

(older guys)

And the wisdom kiss could be the
Semi - finalist decider
And if Debbie did
Then I wouldn't have expected it off her
And those timeless lips
That still ring like stars at the skies edge
Was just hit and miss for you
Oh you're such an experienced delight now
Please turn off the light now

The aromas from the canteen mixed with your perfume and cold hands
Grasping your sleeves like a nervous child at the funfair
(I've been there)
And the music that they play in the disco
And the boys that pop their collars in corners
And the sex that you've had you can't undo
And now there's songs to shed your skin to

And the wisdom kiss could be the
Semi - finalist decider
And if Debbie did
Then I wouldn't have expected it off her
And those timeless lips
That still ring like stars at the skies edge
Was just hit and miss for you
Oh you're such an experienced delight now
Please turn off the light now

He's been quiet about the fling
But an owl has the quietest wings
A little closer to the bone
Familiar street lights guide you home
I know it's cynical to say
It's just lust at the end of the day
In the weightless week wherein
You prematurely shed your skin

And the wisdom kiss could be the
Semi - finalist decider
And if Debbie did
Then I wouldn't have expected it off her
And those timeless lips
That still ring like stars at the skies edge
Was just hit and miss for you
Oh you're such an experienced delight now
Please turn off the light now
