Kiss With A Fist (Live BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall / 2024)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus]

You hit me once, I hit you back

You gave a kick, I gave a slap

You smashed a plate over my head

Then I set fire to our bed

You hit me once, I hit you back

You gave a kick, I gave a slap

You smashed a plate over my head

Then I set fire to our bed

[Verse 1]

Oh-oh-woah, my black eye casts no shadow

Your red eye sees no blame

Your slaps don't stick, your kicks don't hit

So we remain the same

[Chorus]

Blood sticks, sweat drips

Break the lock if it don't fit

A kick in the teeth is good for some

A kiss with a fist is better than none

[Post-Chorus]

Woah-oh

A kiss with a fist is bеtter than none

[Verse 2]

Broke your jaw oncе before

I spilled your blood upon the floor

You broke my leg in return

So let's sit back and watch the bed burn

[Chorus]

Blood sticks, sweat drips

Break the lock if it don't fit

A kick in the teeth is good for some

A kiss with a fist is better than none

[Post-Chorus]

Woah-oh

A kiss with a fist is better than none

[Bridge]

You hit me once, I hit you back

You gave a kick, I gave a slap

You smashed a plate over my head

Then I set fire to our bed, woah

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

You hit me once, I hit you back

You gave a kick, I gave a slap

You smashed a plate over my head

Then I set fire to our bed, ah

[Spoken]

Thank you Federico Nathan!

Um, I want to, uh

Thank the Proms for having me do this and to

Celebrate the 15-year anniversary of Lungs

Um, so many, some many of these songs

Were written when I was a teenager

During my very early 20s

And it must've been so nice, it's

So many songs of the album became bonus tracks

So and then I look at it

"Wow, I love this song, wait, I didn't put it on the record?"

It was a really chaotic and messy time

And there's so many people in here tonight who contributed or were a part of that time and I'm so happy and grateful to see you tonight

I know so many, uh, songs I haven't sung in a very long time

And it has been an absolute joy to put them together and you know

Just to make some sense out of this
