The Lipstick On His Collar

"The Lipstick On His Collar" is the twelfth and final song on Caro Emerald's debut album, "Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor".

Description

 * "The female Lemmy Caution turns from diva to detective in a flash, complete with a floor length coat and long leaning chapeau to conceal her identity and her mission. Tearing at her curiosity like the pages of a Peter Cheyney mystery would never hurt our heroine. She can crack any case. And she'll crack this one."

Lyrics
The clock has ticked 11 And the place is clear Reality is kicking in And so is my beer

I don't make excuses When it's all my fault If a heart is made of money He's cleaned out my vault

I feel a little wounded And it isn't fair To sit inside a parlour And see him standing over there

As smug as a robber That a cop can't catch The lipstick on his collar Doesn't seem to match mine

Now Joe behind the bar Is offering advice Cause I'm a broken record And he has to tell me twice

Why don't I understand That he just can't change I wanna be his woman Not his weekend dame

Now Joe has eyes a'rollin' Says it's just too bad And he'll be back tomorrow For my heartbeat crash

I'd like to say goodbye But hello is the match Though the lipstick on his collar Never seems to match mine
