I Wish You Lonely
Morrissey
I wish you lonely
If only for one day
So that you might see routine for me
Since the day I was born, born
Think of yourself only
Of everything you demand
You want and you need
And to hell
To hell with everybody else
Everybody else
Turn the key slowly
Remember how I can't sleep
(Or if ever I do, an earthquake
An earthquake couldn't agitate
Couldn't agitate)
Tombs are full of fools
Who gave their life upon command of
Monarchy! Oligarch! Head of state! Potentate!
And now?
Never coming back
Never coming back
Tombs are full of fools
Who gave their life upon command of
Romance gone wrong
The same old glue
And never coming true
Never coming true
Tombs are full of fools
Who gave their life upon command of
Heroin! Heroin! Heroin! Heroin! Heroin!
And? Never coming back
Never coming back
I wish you lonely
Like the last tracked humpback whale
Chased by gunships from Bergen
But never giving in
Never giving in
