lyrics

Kiss Those Days Goodbye - Grieve/Myles

Baby’s making trouble with the birds and the bees
I’m on fire, honey when you see me
I’ll be down on my knees
People can’t see the fucking woods for the trees
No idea, life is just living making love on the beach

I believe the only crime
Are the years we leave behind
Too afraid to speak our minds
Kiss those days goodbye

Wake up in the morning touch your skin to my face
Soft girl sleeping, dying to be near you
Mama play you my ace
Rolling down the highway at a hundred and ten
Motor humming, freedom comes easy when you’re making amends

Thrown against the waves of time
We got lucky and survived
Under the mackerel sky
I’m going to tell you why
It’s time to speak my mind
Kiss those days goodbye

City living sanctifying death by degrees
I won’t buy it, give me someone special something good to eat
Baby’s making trouble with the birds and the bees
I’m on fire, honey when you see me
I’ll be down on my knees

I believe the only crime
Are the years we leave behind
Too afraid to speak our minds
Thrown against the waves of time
We got lucky and survived
Under the mackerel sky
I‘m going to tell you why
Yeah it’s time to speak my mind
Kiss those days goodbye

Yeah, say bye bye baby
Just one sweet kiss from your lips
And I’m falling ’round like a fool
Every day, every night
But one sweet kiss from your lips
And I’m running like a fool
Take me higher

Kiss those days goodbye

about

Steve Grieve and The Mourners image

Steve Grieve and The Mourners Australia

Steve Grieve and The Mourners inhabit an enigmatic virtual Neverland of hazy musical dreams, outback chicanery, and lumpy, urbane hybrid rock, roots and blues edifices. The band has acquired an improbable yet mythical cult status and their most recent confrontations with crass commercialism, lazy stereotypes and alliteration are ceremoniously captured on the new album Caterpillar Maze. ... more
