Kathy's Kisses Lyrics

Kathy's kisses, They fall out of
her mouth onto the floor, collect dust
and sweep them under the door
They fall out of her dusty mouth
She's sending me more and more and more
Kathy's kisses

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is one of my favorite The Birthday Party songs. Three lines of lyrics sung over and over again, gradually merging into complete and utter insanity. Love the horrid saxophone and that crocky piano. The lyrics deal pretty obviously with a guy obsessing over a girl, who seems might she like be a cock-tease, but maybe she never had any real romantic feelings for the narrator and her "kisses" are just imagined by him.
