Sweet Jesus! Right Hand Leftʼs singer sounds a lot like Sting. Maybe Sting trapped in a cave what with all of that ʻatmosphericʼ reverb ladled on top of the vocals.
Anyway, theyʼre banging on about, “lipstick on your face, lipstick in your hair”, not sure if this is in reference to a chap or a lady or indeed how they managed to get lipstick in their hair but then that
probably doesnʼt really matter when youʼre powering through such a heartfelt, eyes earnestly scrunched up, wonder ballad. RHL tell us that they, “used to get messed up”.
Presumably meaning that they managed to get lipstick on parts of their body additional to face and hair. The messy boys. Iʼll bet if I was a 14 year old, manga-eyed waif of a lass down the front of the next battle of the bands RHL attempt to win Iʼd be swooning all over this plop.
Sadly Iʼm not.
