Lyrics
What she said
"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead
And decided to bury me? God knows, I'm ready"
What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy
What she said was not
For the job or lover that she never had
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesize
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really, really open her eyes
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesize
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really, really open her eyes
What she said
"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something!"
What she said
"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something!"
Writer(s): Steven Patrick Morrissey, Johnny Marr
