Slow Motion Kisses

Come and give me one of those big slow motion kisses, Make me turn to stone. Say the things you say that give me pins and needles, Chill me to the bone. It's a heart attack that I'm going to get, Flat out on my back, I want to taste your shiny sweat. Come and pull one of those silly faces, Stick out that velvet tongue, Come and take me to a million different places, You can only reach in love An electric shock that we're going to share I feel heavy as a rock Then lighter than the air Come and give me one of your big slow-motion kisses Thrill me to the bone Going to push and pull and bite and tumble Tear ourselves in half Melt inside one of those big slow-motion kisses Make each other laugh Come and give me one of your long slow-motion kisses Thrill me to the bone To the bone.
Commentary
Somehow Tim and Jim's blatant attempt to write a song for someone else became our first single for Arista five years later. This time the video was splendid, although we weren't in it. Jim and Sally made a rare TV appearance on Juke Box Jury as Mystery Guests. They received a unanimous thumbs-up and a chocolate orange for their trouble. Appropriate really.
