Kiss V is a well-known pop-art painting by Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) which depicts a woman crying on a man's shoulder.
lyrics
Her mouth is red all by itself.
Dear Boy,
Take her in,
And hide her in your chest awhile -
Bury her down.
And lace your veins with her gunpowder
And paint her face with your roses.
She must never know,
She must never know,
Her mouth is red all by itself.
Dear Girl,
Bear him up,
And shoot him through your spine awhile -
Follow him out.
And lace his veins with your gunpowder
And paint your face with his roses.
He must never know,
He must never know,
Your mouth is red all by itself.

The sense of light and colour this album creates is so otherworldly: Josephine Foster's ethereal voice fluttering high over those creaky, mud-spattered arrangements. Astonishing. Mary Hampton
