Oh! Take me back to dear old Blighty, Put me on the train for London Town, Take me anywhere, Drop me anywhere, Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham But I don’t care, I should like to see my… I don’t bless them Farewell to this land’s cheerless marshes Hemmed in like a boar between arches Her very Lowness with a head in a sling I’m truly sorry – but it sounds like a wonderful thing I said Charles, don’t you ever crave To appear on the front of the Daily Mail Dressed in your Mother’s bridal veil? Oh… And so, I checked […]

Heifer whines could be human cries Closer comes the screaming knife This beautiful creature must die This beautiful creature must die A death for no reason And death for no reason is murder And the flesh you so fancifully fry Is not succulent, tasty or kind It’s death for no reason And death for no reason is murder And the calf that you carve with a smile Is murder And the turkey you festively slice Is murder Do you know how animals die? Kitchen aromas aren’t very homely It’s not “comforting”, cheery or kind It’s sizzling blood and the unholy […]

Unruly boys Who will not grow up Must be taken in hand Unruly girls Who will not settle down They must be taken in hand A crack on the head Is what you get for not asking And a crack on the head Is what you get for asking Unruly boys Who will not grow up Must be taken in hand Unruly girls Who will not settle down They must be taken in hand A crack on the head Is what you get for not asking And a crack on the head Is what you get for asking No, a […]

Well I wonder Do you hear me when you sleep ? I hoarsely cry Oh… Well I wonder Do you see me when we pass ? I half die… Oh… Please keep me in mind Please keep me in mind Gasping – but somehow still alive This is the fierce last stand of all I am Gasping – dying – but somehow still alive This is the final stand of all I am Please keep me in mind Well I wonder Well I wonder Please keep me in mind Keep me in mind Keep me in mind Compositores: Steven Morrissey […]

I’d like to drop my trousers to the world I am a man of means, of slender means Each household appliance Is like a new science in my town And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I’d get such a shock I’d probably jump in the ocean And when a train goes by, it’s such a sad sound No, no, no, no, no It’s such a sad thing I’d like to drop my trousers to the Queen Every sensible child will know what this means The poor and the needy Are selfish and greedy on her […]

Park the car at the side of the road You should know Time’s tide will smother you And I will too When you laugh about people who feel so Very lonely Their only desire is to die Well, I’m afraid It doesn’t make me smile I wish I could laugh But that joke isn’t funny anymore It’s too close to home And it’s too near the bone It’s too close to home And it’s too near the bone More than you’ll ever know … Kick them when they fall down Kick them when they fall down You kick them when […]

What she said : “How come someone hasn’t noticed That I’m dead And decided to bury me? God knows, I’m ready!” La-la-la… What she said was sad But then, all the rejection she’s had To pretend to be happy Could only be idiocy La-la-la… What she said was not for the job or Lover that she never had Oh… No no no… What she read All heady books She’d sit and prophesise (It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead To really really open her eyes) What she read All heady books She’d sit and prophesise (It took a tattooed boy […]

On the day that your mentality Decides to try to catch up with your biology Come round … ‘Cause I want the one I can’t have And it’s driving me mad It’s all over, all over, all over my face On the day that your mentality Catches up with your biology I want the one I can’t have And it’s driving me mad It’s all over, all over, all over my face A double bed And a stalwart lover for sure These are the riches of the poor A double bed And a stalwart lover for sure These are the […]

The last night of the fair By the big wheel generator A boy is stabbed And his money is grabbed And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine She is famous She is funny An engagement ring Doesn’t mean a thing To a mind consumed by brass (money) And though I walk home alone I might walk home alone… …But my faith in love is still devout The last night of the fair From a seat on a whirling waltzer Her skirt ascends for a watching eye It’s a hideous trait (on her mother’s side) From a seat on […]

Belligerent ghouls Run Manchester schools Spineless swines Cemented minds Sir leads the troops Jealous of youth Same old suit since nineteen sixty two He does the military two-step down The nape of my neck I want to go home I don’t want to stay Give up education As a bad mistake Mid-week on the playing fields Sir thwacks you on the knees Knees you in the groin Elbow in the face Bruises bigger than dinner plates I want to go home I don’t want to stay Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Belligerent ghouls Run Manchester […]
