Morrissey - Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning

Always looking for attention
Always needs to be mentioned
Who does she think she should be?

The shrill cry through darkening air
Doesn't she know he's
Had such a busy day?

Tell her...shh
Somebody tell her...shh

No way, no way
There's no movement, no
Hooray

It was only a test But she swam too far against the tide
She deserves all she gets

The sky became mad with stars
As an out-stretched arm slowly disappears

Hooray
Oh, hooray
No, there's no movement, no
Hooray, hooray

Please don't worry there'll be no fuss
She was...nobody's nothing

When he awoke the sea was calm
And another day passes like a dream

There's no, no way

Morrissey - Spring-Heeled Jim

Spring-heeled Jim winks an eye
he'll "do," he'll never be "done to"
he takes on whoever flew through
"WELL, IT'S THE NORMAL THING TO DO"
Spring-heeled Jim lives to love
now kissing with his mouth full
and his eyes on some other fool
so many women
his head should be spinning
AH, BUT NO!
Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words:
"there's no need to be so KNOWING
take life at five times your
average speed, like I do"
until Jim feels the chill
"oh, where did all the time go?"
once always in for the kill
now it's too cold
and he feels too
OLD

Morrissey - Speedway

And when you slam
Down the hammer
Can you see it in your heart?
All of the rumors
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded

So when you slam
Down the hammer
Can you see it in your heart?
Can you delve so low?
And when you're standing
On my fingers
Can you see it in your heart? Ah
And when you try
To break my spirit
It won't work
Because there's nothing left to break
Anymore
All of the rumors
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded

You won't sleep
Until the earth that wants me
Finally has me
Oh you've done it now
You won't rest
Until the hearse that becomes me
Finally takes me
Oh you've done it now
And you won't smile
Until my loving mouth
Is shut good and proper
Forever

All of the rumors
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded
And all those lies
Written lies, twisted lies
Well, they weren't lies
They weren't lies
They weren't lies

I never said
I never said
I could have mentioned your name
I could have dragged you in
Guilt by implication
By association
I've always been true to you
In my own strange way
I've always been true to you
In my own sick way
I'll always stay true to you

Morrissey - The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get

The more you ignore me
the closer I get
you're wasting your time
the more you ignore me
the closer I get
you're wasting your time
I will be
in the bar
with my head
on the bar
I am now
a central part
of your mind's landscape
whether you care
or do not
yeah, I've made up your mind
the more you ignore me
the closer I get
you're wasting your time
the more you ignore me
the closer I get
you're wasting your time
Beware!
I bear more grudges
than lonely high court judges
when you sleep
I will creep
into your thoughts
like a bad debt
that you can't pay
take the easy way
and give in
yeah, and let me in
IT'S WAR

Morrissey - Billy Budd

Say, Billy Budd
So you think you should?
Oh, everyone's laughing
Say, Billy Budd
So you think that you should?
Everyone's laughing!
Since I took up with you

Things have been bad
Yeah, but now it's 12 years on
Now it's 12 years on
Yes, and I took up with you

I took my job application
Into town
Did you hear? They turned me down
Yes, and it's all because of us
Oh, and what was in our eyes
Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah

I said, Billy Budd
I would happily lose
Both of my legs
I would lose both of my legs
Oh, if it meant you could be free
Oh, if it meant you could be free

(Don't leave us in the dark!)

Morrissey - Now My Heart Is Full

There's gonna be some trouble
A whole house will need re-building
And everyone I love in the house
Will recline on an analyst's couch quite soon
Your father cracks a joke
And in the usual way
Empties the room

Tell all of my friends
I don't have too many
Just some rain-coated lovers' puny brothers

Dallow, Spicer, Pinkie, Cubitt
Rush to danger, wind up nowhere
Patric Doonan - raised to wait
I'm tired again, I've tried again

And now my heart is full
Now my heart is full
And I just can't explain
So I won't even try to

Dallow, Spicer, Pinkie, Cubitt
Every jammy Stressford poet
Loafing oafs in all-night chemists
Loafing oafs in all-night chemists
Underact, express depression
Ah, but Bunnie I loved you
I was tired again
I've tried again, and

Now my heart is full
Now my heart is full
And I just can't explain
So I won't even try to

Did you pass by?
Did you pass by?
Did you pass by?
Did you pass by?
Pass by...

Now my heart is full
Now my heart is full
And I just can't explain
So ...
So...
So...
So...
So...
