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 better than none

[Verse 2]
Broke your jaw once 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
