(morrissey/j.marr)Originally performed by the smiths. jeff performed it several times, usually in medley with hallelujah or with kangaroo.Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my headAnd as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough saidI know its over still I cling, I dont know where else I can goOver and over.....Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my headSee the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) meDo you think you can help meSad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her roomLoud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs youMore than she loves you - and I know its over - still I clingI dont know where else I can go - over and over.....I know its over and it never really began but in my heart it was so realAnd she even spoke to me and saidIf youre so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?And if youre so clever then why are you on your own tonight?And if youre so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?And if youre so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?I know - cos tonight is just like any other night - thats why youre onYour own tonightWith your triumphs and your charms - while theyre in each others armsIts so easy to laugh its so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentleAnd kind - over and over....Its so easy to laugh its so easy to hate it takes guts to be gentle andKind - over and over....Love is natural and real - but not for you my love not tonight my loveLove is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my loveOh mother... etc.
