Hit me with a kiss

about

"Hit me with a kiss" a song with a story behind it. In the nineties I went to Budapest. In a bar I met a Canadian soldier. He worked for the UN in Bosnia (that war was going on at that time) as a sniper. He and I drank a lot of beers and talked about his life. He missed his son and his wife. Since I am a pacifist I asked him how it felt killing people and earning a living by doing that. He did not like my questions...

lyrics

Hit me with a kiss

I’m close to comfort with my task
he said, when I asked
I want straight tonight, but I’m diverted all the time
Is that bad?

And when he hit me with his kiss
I tasted whiskey on my lips burning
Full of fire was he, who loved me

He’d hide in trees to oversee
the targets, hit on the liver or close to it
A figure filled his upperarm
A tattooed Calvin like his son,
What a charm

But he kissed me with his fist,
I tasted teardrops on my lips burning
Full of fire was he, who undone me

His head’s at home, a heart o’ stone,
Said: live my life to ruine another one
Bought the sweet another shot
he dropped his guns for the drink was all he got

When he kissed me with his fist,
I tasted blood on my lips, turning,
Full of anger is he, full of hatred he’ll be,
he learnt how to kill me

Solo is always in search of a "Timeless Melody". In the Netherlands, Solo's music has become a hallmark of pop songs with a golden glow. ... more
