I know that kiss
was waited for by both of us
under the street light, from the grill line
we left milk and a meat pie
Hits were playing piningly on the radio
teens were breaking beer bottles
your curled hair was new for me
the year was eightysix
I smoked north, you smoked menthol
the lap of town was fragile
the horror and contrition
didn't hit me until I got home
chorus
A sharp light of cab was guiding us
drunk people were starting a fight
trouser legs were in the boots and the morning was far away
the year was eightysix
You shined in the night like young Madonna
glitter and lip gloss
we walked our bikes and the carrier laughed
in the shade of rising love
chorus
And I know that the first kiss
isn't supposed to be forgotten
under the street light, from the grill line
