The Lyrics Thread

Here's a recent favourite of mine that always brings to mind someone I don't know very well (yet) :D.

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT

Lyrics: Morrissey/Music: Johnny Marr

From the album "The Queen Is Dead" by The Smiths.


Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their home
And I’m welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-tonne truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought "oh god, my chance has come at last"
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn’t ask

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don’t care I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car, I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Oh, I haven’t got one.
