Richard Thompson is a specialist: "COLD KISSES" Here I am in your room going through your stuff Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough Here in your drawer there's lacy things Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings Well I think I've found what I'm looking for Hidden away at the back of the drawer Here's the life that you led before.... The war/love/ghost story that is "WOODS OF DARNEY" Now we lie in the darkness together Often we lie without speaking this way As you stare in the dark do you see your young corporal Who never came back from the woods of Darney Is it him that you see when we make love together? Is it him that you see when war fills the sky? Was he there as you stood in your grandmother's wedding dress As we made our own vows, you and I?.... And, most of all, "LOVE IN A FAITHLESS COUNTRY" Learn the way to melt into a crowd Never catch an eye or dress too loud You've got to be invisible my friend To find the joy on which we must depend That's the way we make love.... A song inspired by the Moors murders: therefore the 'joy on which we must depend' is serial murder. The serial murder of children.
