Morrissey - All You Need Is Me

You hiss and groan and you constantly moan
but you don't ever go away
and that's because all you need is me

you roll your eyes up to the skies
mock horrified - but you're still here
because all you need is me

there's so much destruction
all over the world
and all you can do is
complain about me

you bang your head against the wall and say you're sick of it all
yet you remain
'cause all you need is me

and then you offer your one-and-only
joke and you ask me what will I be
when I grow up to be a man
me? nothing...

there's a soft voice singing in your head
who can this be?
I do believe it's me

there's a naked man standing laughing in your dreams
you know who it is
but you don't like what it means

There's so much destruction
all over the world
and all you can do is
complain about me

I was a small fat child in a welfare house,
there was only one thing I ever dreamed about
and fate has just handed it to me, whoopee

You don't like me but you love me
either way, you're wrong
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Morrissey - Black Cloud

The one I love is standing near
The one I love is everywhere
I can woo you
I can amuse you
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud
The one I love roosts in the mind
Can snap this spell
Or, increase hell
I can chase you and I can catch you
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud
Oh, black cloud
Oh, black cloud
I play the game of Favorites now
I can I must I will I do
I can please you
Or, I can freeze you out
But there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud, black cloud
I can choke myself to please you
And I can sink much lower than usual
But there's nothing I can do
To make you mine

Morrissey - It's Not Your Birthday Anymore

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
It's not your birthday anymore
there's no need to be kind to you
and the will to see you smile and belong has now gone
It's not your birthday anymore
did you really think we meant
all those syrupy, sentimental things
that we said?
It cannot be given
and so it must be taken
it cannot be given
and so it must be taken
All the gifts that they gave can't compare in any way to the love I am now giving to you right here right now on the floor
all the gifts that they gave can't compare in any way to the love I am now giving to you right here right now on the floor
It's not your birthday anymore
there's no need to be kind to you
and the will to see you smile and belong has now gone
It's not your birthday anymore
did you really think we meant
all those syrupy, sentimental
things that we said yesterday?

Morrissey - Something Is Squeezing My Skull

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

Oh, something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
There is no love in modern life

I'm doing very well
It's a miracle I've even made it this far
The motion of taxis excite me
Will you peel it back and bite me?

Oh, something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
There is no hope in modern life

Oh, something is squeezing my skull
Something I can't fight
No true friends in modern life

Diazapam... that's Valium
Tarmazpam, Lithium

HRT, ECT... how long must I stay on this stuff?

Please don't gimme anymore...

Morrissey - That's How People Grow Up

I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me

But that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me and
See their sunlit dream
I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For a love that never comes
From someone who does not exist

And that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

Let me live
Before I die
No not me
Not I

I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on their deathbed said
There are other sorrows too

I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
So yes there are things worse in life than
Never being someone's sweetie

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

As for me I'm okay
For now anyway
