Pepperbox is you A dash of spice to warm the cool evening I'm in touch with you We make connection in the dark night-time

Waking up with you Using me, I'm using you... Or trying Pepperbox is gone Left a note to say "it's cool, darling..."

Oh, sinking...
Going down
Oh, diving...
Too far down

If you see what it means to me
I can take you high
Don't leave me low
And if the world falls on it's knees
I won't mind
Just please don't go
Left here in the dark and the morning cold
Feeling kinda tired
And all alone
Knowing you won't call and that this is all
A pepperbox leaves me
When he is gone

 

 

NOTES: Ruth and I were having a chat about one-night stands, about how they can be so exciting and yet leave you so empty and there was something there... Something that just led to this song. It's not about anyone in particular but more the sense of all those people reaching out for connection only to know that it'll end as soon as the sun rises. And what's a Pepperbox? I don't know - it's a made up word that just came to me straight away. Maybe it is just what this lyric says: A dash of spice to warm the cool evening.
