Thomas Dolby - Screen Kiss lyrics
[Thomas Dolby - Screen Kiss lyrics]
Miller time at the bar where
All the English meet
She used to drink in the hills
Only now she drinks in the valleys
Where every road has a
Name like Beachwood Avenue or so it seems
A Croydon girl could really hope
To find a home but with a thousand miles of
Real estate to choose from
You begin to see the value of your freedom
The moon is bright in the
Haze above old Hollywood
And deer look down from the hills
And it's three o'clock in the morning
Pill in hand you can hear
His golden surfer boys crying out
Mommy won't come out of the bathroom
And you'd hoped he'd say he's
Sorry if he hit you but he's buried in the
Screenplay of his feature
Screen kiss, one screened kiss
Straight from a film I forget who was in
Screen kiss, one screen kiss
Blue filter lens, in a pool of Vaseline
But all the rushes look the same
Only there's a movie I wouldn't
Pay to see again if it's the one with him in
You and I could be a
Mile above the earth tremors
Hold to me and we'll climb
You could sneak out while he's sleeping
Suicide in the hills above old Hollywood
Is never going to change the world
Change the world overnight
Any more than the invention of the six-gun
Child any more than the discovery of radium
Or California tipping in the ocean
Screen kiss, one screened kiss
Straight from a film I forget who was in
Screen kiss, one screen kiss
Blue filter lens, and a smear of Vaseline
But all the rushes look the same
Only there's a movie I wouldn't
Pay to see again if it's the one with him in
All the English meet
She used to drink in the hills
Only now she drinks in the valleys
Where every road has a
Name like Beachwood Avenue or so it seems
A Croydon girl could really hope
To find a home but with a thousand miles of
Real estate to choose from
You begin to see the value of your freedom
The moon is bright in the
Haze above old Hollywood
And deer look down from the hills
And it's three o'clock in the morning
Pill in hand you can hear
His golden surfer boys crying out
Mommy won't come out of the bathroom
And you'd hoped he'd say he's
Sorry if he hit you but he's buried in the
Screenplay of his feature
Screen kiss, one screened kiss
Straight from a film I forget who was in
Screen kiss, one screen kiss
Blue filter lens, in a pool of Vaseline
But all the rushes look the same
Only there's a movie I wouldn't
Pay to see again if it's the one with him in
You and I could be a
Mile above the earth tremors
Hold to me and we'll climb
You could sneak out while he's sleeping
Suicide in the hills above old Hollywood
Is never going to change the world
Change the world overnight
Any more than the invention of the six-gun
Child any more than the discovery of radium
Or California tipping in the ocean
Screen kiss, one screened kiss
Straight from a film I forget who was in
Screen kiss, one screen kiss
Blue filter lens, and a smear of Vaseline
But all the rushes look the same
Only there's a movie I wouldn't
Pay to see again if it's the one with him in
