lyrics

We're spinning, evolving, we're falling towards a niche
Exploring and stretching the fabric within our reach
All of these wonderfully beautiful intricate living patterns have their own specialty
In the case of us humans it's kissing and comedy

Maybe you'll find your perfect partner on a social networking site
Engineer a dog so damn boring that it’s got neither bark nor bite
Maybe you’ll write computer programs, think that code is poetry
But the only tried and true therapy

It’s not whispers from Christianity
Or another prayer from a bended knee
But you can have your gods and goddesses
But I'll tell you quietly what works for me
It’s kissing, a little kissing and comedy
Kissing and comedy are the only good things we invented

Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Kissing and comedy
Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Kissing and comedy
Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Kissing and comedy
Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Kissing and comedy
Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Kissing and comedy
Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss Kissing and comedy
The only good things we invented

Rachel Armstrong warms the cockles with violin and mandolin, Tore Pedersen slips in some seriously slinky bass lines, Merle “alt-folk professor” Fyshwick gets behind the skins and Rob Findlay adds a pop/rock sensibility with tasty licks of electric guitar ... more
