lyrics

We kissed goodbye at the bottle bank
She said "I can see that you're lonely"
She stuck her hands down the front of my pants
By the sign that said GREEN GLASS ONLY
She said let me hold it for just one last time
I noticed the stains on her coat
When we kissed goodbye at the bottle bank
She stuck her tongue right down my throat.

We kissed goodbye at the bottle bank
Our farewells had already been said
The sun came up over the tower block
Our party hats still on our heads
She was old enough to be my Mum
She had whiskers on her chin
When we kissed goodbye at the bottle bank
Her breath stank of ciggies and gin.

We kissed goodbye at the bottle bank
I promised I'd give her a call
She went for her train as it started to rain
Me I just sat on the wall
My hangover one of the worst that I've had
I was trembling like a leaf
We kissed goodbye at the bottle bank
Our encounter thank Christ had been brief.
