When you kiss me Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face Will you miss me In your dreams does your lover have my face Ah, when you kiss me Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face Ah, will you miss me In your dreams does your lover have my face It's the morning And the mourning it is dawning on me too I'd no warning Just a condolence card to tell me that we're through Ah, it's the morning And the mourning it is dawning on me too I had no warning Just a condolence card to tell me that we're through Will you kiss me Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face When you miss me In your dreams does my lover have your face Ah, when you kiss me Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face Ah, will you miss me In your dreams does your lover have my face

    My Interpretation:I have loved Shelley's lyrics. Very thoughtful and clever word structure. I interpret the line "When you kiss me, does your lipstick on your lips stick on my face" means if the lipstick sticks on your face means that it is a true relationship ... but if it doesn't it does not. I think the next line further confirms it when it goes "Will you miss me, In your dreams does your lover have my face". Thats my 2 cents worth.

    Rated 0 On that point - does anybody know what the story is between this song and Shot by Both Sides. I know Howard Devoto was in Buzzcocks and then started Magazine.

    Was this used with Devoto's blessing? / What it recorded as a pop at Devoto?

    General Comment:I heard shot by both sides by magazine which uses the same riff first, and have to admit I preferred magazines song , buzzcocks have done many better songs, the A side promises was much better.

    General Comment:This song is amazing lyrically i think... it plays with words like not many other songs do, although it's such a simple song in the end...
