2001 saw the release of the album “ Ten New Songs “.
To me the lyrics of this song are the best ever written.
lyrics
A Thousand Kisses Deep
The ponies run, the girls are young, The odds are there to beat
You win a while and then it's done, Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal, With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real, A thousand kisses deep
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed, I’m back on boogie street
You lose your grip and then you slip, Into the masterpiece
And maybe I had miles to drive, And promises to keep
You ditch it all to stay alive, A thousand kisses deep
SOLO
And sometimes when the night is slow,The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go, A thousand kisses deep
Confined to sex we pressed against, The limits of the sea
I saw there were no oceans left, For scavengers like me
I made it to the forward deck, I blessed our remnant fleet
And then consented to be wrecked, A thousand kisses deep
I'm turning tricks I'm getting fixed, I’m back on boogie street
I guess they won't exchange the gifts, That you were meant to keep
And quiet is the thought of you, The file on you complete
Except what we forgot to do, A thousand kisses deep
SOLO
And sometimes when the night is slow, The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go, A thousand kisses deep
The ponies run, the girls are young, The odds are there to beat
You win a while and then it's done, Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal, With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real, A thousand kisses deep X 3
