(Words: MacManus/O'Riordan, music: Costello) I favour a good punishing kiss It helps pass the lonely afternoons Another stiff drink Wipe off that lipstick For when you reach a certain age All the most villainous men Can be found on Channel Ten And I make them dance In attendance We will be back In a minute or two And he will punish that girl Oh I forget the reason Just look at me I'm lost in a social whirl She was never so witty Always struggling to be full of fun On weekdays from midday to one In a little black cocktail dress everyone hates She'll be saving the world in-between fashion plates I know what she gets up to in the back of that black limousine And I find myself shouting at the screen I think that it's time to turn over They say it's harmless I know SongtexteA hundred and ten percent certain virtually real If you need something to feel Then favour a good punishing kiss It helps chase the wasted afternoons The flowers and the pearls The long lost relations That love sick tom boy comes in bloom All the pointless heartache That seems to belong in my blue bloom Can't stand the suspense The endless embraces When each episode Lends the silly pretence Say I can turn away When I will never miss It starts with a joke And ends with a punishing kiss Aus Songtexte Mania
