Underneath This Lamppost Light - The King Blues

We’ll walk through the city at night

And talk about what holds no relevance

Swaying and stumbling with my arm around yours

I can see pink elephants

And the smell of kebab meat and sausage in batter

Will always remind me of you

In the chip shop at the end of the night

Making sure I get some food

So kiss me underneath this lamppost light

I know it smells of piss but

You look beautiful tonight

If I had the money we’d be in a cab

Not waiting for this bloody bus

But I’ll hold you tight so you don’t get cold

You’re never one to fuss

I kiss you after you’ve thrown up in the gutter

I’d do anything for you

A broken heart and a poisoned liver

But we will stumble through

So kiss me underneath this lamppost light

I know it smells of piss but

You look beautiful tonight

My head is spinning and my body’s shaking

As I cover my eyes from the light

Why do I feel so dehydrated

When I drank so much last night?

When you breathe I feel your tiny body move next to me

And my heart beats like a hammer Lord knows

Cos I’ve travelled through a million towns

But I never seen two eyes as lovely as those

So kiss me underneath this lamppost light

I know it smells of piss but

You look beautiful tonight
