lyrics

Lighting Store

In my dreams I’m in your lighting store
A gloomy place, 10,000 watts and more
I had to duck my head wherever I walked
Giant bulbs hung down on giant stalks

But for your love I’d gladly duck
For in the afternoons you’d come
We’d go back
to my basement flat
and we’d lay there and make love, love, love

I had a rivalry with Death
When we kissed I’d taste him on your breath
But then you’d go and whisper in my ear
The sort of things that only film stars hear

The footsteps on the path outside
made us hunker down and hide
Elbows like bats
We’d make them flap
On the ceiling up above, ‘bove, ‘bove

One or twice we trained out to the Hutt
Ancient concrete stations sat non-plussed
Sometimes unemployment is a blessing
for autumn is the season for undressing

I need no eulogies or prayers
Your Billy Idol takes me there
Your floury breath
We gave it death
In the reaches of the Hutt, Hutt, Hutt
In the reaches of the Hutt, in the reaches of the Hutt
In the reaches of the Hutt, Hutt, Hutt
