Lyrics

You had peppermint gum stuck behind your teeth
You had white shoes and bennies in 1983
I had your breast in my hand underneath the tree
But as the tree lost its leaves, you went up and left me
For an awkward kind of boy
Who was far too tall
And true to form, it didn't last long
But the peppermint taste doesn't pass away for weeks
Well, my school friends' hearts
They were bitter, they were cruel
So I left when I was fifteen
Didn't think of them at all
Were you thinking that we're through
When you turned your back on school?
Did you work in a bank?
Did you marry with a banker?
Do you think of fate at all?
Do you think of cruelty?
Do you think of me pushing you up against that tree?
And the peppermint taste doesn't pass away for weeks
Well, I may have touched your breast
But I never underneath
But we kissed too hard and we knocked each other's teeth
Did you smile with relief when I gave up the ghost
And didn't ring your house no more?
Now it's been twenty years
I bet you kiss real good
I bet you kiss your banker like a banker's wife should
And that peppermint taste doesn't pass away for weeks
And that peppermint taste doesn't pass away for weeks
And that peppermint taste doesn't pass away for weeks
