Lyrics:

It seems like weeks since you looked at me, baby, without that look of distaste
I don’t know why your feelings are changing but I’ve seen it in your face

And all those times when our lips were kissing, our tongues were telling lies
And all those signs I’ve been missing right there in your eyes

And all those times when our lips were kissing
our tongues were telling lies

So come on babe, let’s kiss this thing goodbye

I sometimes feel when we’re together baby, everything has turned out wrong
And I know you feel exactly the same way but still we carry on

I’ve been waiting up by the window watching these cars go by
And I tell myself that I’ll go through the motions for the last time tonight

So come on babe, let’s kiss this thing goodbye

Now I’m watching the fumes foul up the sunrise, I’m watching the light fade away
And I’m hoping tonight that I’ll open the door, and you’ll stand here and say
Come on babe, let’s kiss this thing goodbye

Better make it sooner than later
Before it all turns sour
Don’t you know we’d better kiss this thing goodbye

At just six bones, you can’t go wrong picking up a copy of Waking Hours at Amazon:

This track comes from Del Amitri, a criminally underrated band hailing from Scotland. Del Amitri scored a top 40 hit with Always the Last to Know and had a couple of other minor hits, but they’ve largely faded into obscurity.

Kiss This Thing Goodbye charted in the UK and a tiny dent on the U.S. charts, but it is a mainstay in multiple playlists here at Dances with Bass Radio.
