Lips Like Sugar
Echo & the Bunnymen
~~*~~
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The king of Siam
And my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses!
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

For me, this ranks as one of the sexiest
rock n' roll songs ever written.
Of all the human acts of physical affection,
kissing is, hands down (or lips open), my very favorite.
There isn't another act that is quite as intimate,
and yet so innocent.
This song beautifully captures both:
that sense of intense sexiness, of intimacy,
and yet of youthful innocence.
I can't help but think of the best kisses
I've enjoyed any time I hear it.
