Morrissey - Late Night, Maudlin Street

The last night on Maudlin Street goodbye house goodbye stairs I was born here I was raised here, and ...I took some stick here love at first sight may sound trite but it's true, you know I could list the details of everything you ever wore or said, or how you stood that day and as we spend the last night on Maudlin Street, I say "goodbye house-forever!" I never stole a happy hour around here Where the world's ugliest boy became what you see here I am - the ugliest man Its the last night on Maudlin Street and truly I do love you oh, truly I do love you When I sleep with that picture of you framed beside my bed oh, it's childish and it's silly but I think it's you in my room by the bed (, I told you it was silly...) and I know I took strange pills but I never meant to hurt you oh truly I love you I came home late one night everyone had gone to bed nobody stays up for you when you have sixteen stitches all around your head the last buss I missed to Maudlin Street so, he drove me home in the Van complaining: "Women only like me for my mind..." don't leave your torch behind power-cuts ahead as we crept through the park but no I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline for you but out clothes oh I could not keep a straight face me - without clothes? well a nation turns its back and gags... I'm packed I am moving house a half-life disappears today every slag waves me on (secretly wishing me gone well, I will be soon oh - I will be soon) There were bad times on Maudlin Street when they took you away in a police car dear Inspector - don't you know? don't you care? don't you know - about Love? Your gran died and your mother died on Maudlin Street in pain and ashamed with never time to say those special things I took the keys from Maudlin Street well, it's only bricks and mortar! y I do love you wherever you are wherever you are
