"Slow Motion Kisses" is a song by British new wave band Furniture, released in 1989 as the lead single from their third and final studio album, Food, Sex & Paranoia (1990).
"Slow Motion Kisses" was written by band members Tim Whelan and Jim Irvin around 1984, and was, according to drummer Hamilton Lee, their "blatant attempt to write a song for someone else".
This left the band unable to record new material, so they spent time touring countries in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and were eventually free to sign a new contract with Arista in 1989.
