Morrissey - Years Of Refusal Lyrics
Morrissey - It's Not Your Birthday Anymore Lyrics
Your voice, it might say no
But the heart has a will of its own
Your voice, it might say no
But the heart has a heart of its own, own
Morrissey - One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell Lyrics
Always be careful when you abuse the one you love
The hour or the day, no one can tell
But one day goodbye will be farewell
And you will never see the one you love again
Morrissey - Something Is Squeezing My Skull Lyrics
I'm doing very well
I can block out the present and the past now
I know by now you think I should have straightened myself out
Thank you, drop dead
Morrissey - You Were Good In Your Time Lyrics
Let the heart rest
Lay back your head
You were good in your time
And we thank you
Morrissey - Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed Lyrics
Mama, why did you do it?
Mama, who drove you to it?
Was it the pigs in gray suits persecuting you?
Uncivil servants, unconcerned that's how they frighten you?
Morrissey - That's How People Grow Up Lyrics
I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me
Morrissey - I'm OK By Myself Lyrics
Could this be an arm around my waist?
Well, surely the hand contains a knife?
It's been so all of my life
Why change now? It hasn't
Morrissey - All You Need Is Me Lyrics
You hiss and groan and you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away
And that is because
All you need is me
Morrissey - Black Cloud Lyrics
The one I love is standing near
The one I love is everywhere
And I can woo you, I can amuse you
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Morrissey - When Last I Spoke to Carol Lyrics
When last I spoke to Carol I said
I can't pretend it gets easier
She said, "I've hung on, I have edged
Along this narrow ledge
Morrissey - Sorry Doesn't Help Lyrics
Sorries pour out of you
All wide-eyed simple smiles
Certain to see you through
Like a QC full of fake humility
Morrissey - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris Lyrics
In the absence of your love
And in the absence of human touch
I have decided
