About Kiss You Off

"Kiss You Off" is the fourth and final radio-released single from the Scissor Sisters' second studio album, Ta-Dah. Plans for a fifth radio-released single from Ta-Dah had been cancelled due to poor charting positions on prior single releases. The single was followed by the limited edition "fan-only" release of "Lights". The single was released in the UK on 28 May 2007. It entered the UK Singles Chart at #43. The official release sticker on the back of the promo CD sent to radio stations had this to say: 2007 Release of a Single that is a Change in Style for Scissor Sisters as Ana Matronic Takes Care of the Lead Vocals on a Song that Draws from the New Wave Scene of the Early 80s and is the Ultimate Break-up Song. "It's not a love song, it's a falling-out-of-love song," she laughs. "It's about knowing you're better than how you're being treated in a relationship and getting the fuck out... and then telling him to kiss your ass!" Includes a Backing Remix by Mr. Oizo! The video is set in a futuristic beauty salon and was directed by Robert Hales.

You say you see what's under me
That the gloss has washed away
But you're the one whose colour's gone
From love to dirty grey
Questions come alive in the middle of the day
Over and over again
Watch me start a fire in the middle of your shade
That's why I'm telling you I'm gonna

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off

Spare this child your sideways smile
That crack in your veneer
Some blue broad will spoil your rod
It just takes patience dear
They rush you for your life
But you'll never beat the game
Older and older you get
Cruch you like gyre
But the gimble's all the same
Oh no I think it's happening

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off

Scissor Sisters have incorporated diverse and innovative styles in their music, but tend to sway towards pop rock, glam rock, nu-disco, and electroclash. more »
