Morrissey - You Know I Couldn't Last Lyrics
The whispering, May hurt you, But the printed word might kill youThe whispering, May hurt you, But the printed word might kill you So don't let the blue, The blue eyes fool you, They're just gelignite, Loaded and aiming right between your eyesCDs and T-shirts, promos and God knows, You know I couldn't last, Someone please take me homeThe teenagers, Who love you, They will wake up, yawn and kill youThe teenagers, Who love you, They will wake up, yawn and kill youSo don't let the blue, The blue eyes fool you, They're just gelignite, Loaded and aiming right between your eyesCDs and T-shirts, promos and God knows, You know I couldn't last, Someone please take me homeThere's a cash register ringing and, It weighs so heavy on my back, Someone please take me homeThe critics who, Can't break you, They somehow help to make you , The critics who, Can't break you, Unwittingly they make youSo don't let the good days, Of the gold discs, Creep up and mug youWith evil legal eagles, You know I couldn't last, Accountants rampant, You know I couldn't lastEvery -ist and every -ism, Thrown my way to stay, And the northern leeches go on, Removing, removing, removingThen in the end, Your royalties bring you luxuries, Your royalties bring you luxuries, Oh butThe squalor of the mind, The squalor of the mind, The squalor of the mind, The squalor of the mind
