STOLEN KISSES
Enter the tiny room
Watched by spectres
Hope and happiness
playing trumpets
Dog swimming in heavy water
for the glory of gloom
Dark songs
on sunlight flower
Enclosed in your skin
All perfection
spent in your arms
Stolen kisses fa fa fa fa fa
Stolen kisses fa fa fa fa fa
(SECOND VOICE)
"What you see is me"
In retrospect, this beauty is
The second part, the move
Onwards and upwards
The prize is the game to come
And there's nothing to miss
In the laughter of tears and love
There always are difficult moods
Yet sensual bonds
of obsession
Stolen kisses fa fa fa fa fa
Stolen kisses fa fa fa fa fa
-Genesis P-Orridge
"the LP 'force the hand of chance' was
every style we could think of - so it was
saying that style is totally irrelevant and we
don't give a shit about that. We don't care
whether it sounds like a love song, a dance
song, a weird song, a this or a that, but on
those songs what we did care about was that
the words were all very carefully done. Not
one of those songs has a normal lyric, not even
those that appear normal.
'Stolen Kisses' has lines about dogs swimming
in heavy water while spectres are watching, and
that's all actually alchemical symbolism com-
bined with a dream that I had which was in my
diary."
