Oh, when, into the fog I fall, despair and I I wished the ground would open and take, take me down Oh, when, when every day, was like Sunday to me The Devil found work for idle hands to do Oh, when did he come here and hang around? Oh, now, today, tomorrow and always Morrissey saved my life, With his Keats and his Yeats under the iron bridge in Manchester Cause Morrissey saved my life I was sick and depraved, travelling to the grave In a drunken hour and heaven knows I was miserable then Oh, when, when did he creep into my thoughts? Oh, I will follow his light that never goes out Morrissey saved my life, With his Keats and his Yeats under the iron bridge in Manchester Cause Morrissey saved my life Oh, when, when did he steal my heart away? Oh, has the world changed or have I changed? Morrissey saved my life, With his Keats and his Yeats under the iron bridge in Manchester Cause Morrissey saved my life

I’m lying on a bed of nails, calling your name The room is going up in flames but to you it’s the same That won’t keep you away, you’ll only say I can’t love you that way But where’s my peace of mind at the end of the day? I’m lying on a bed of sin, wasting my time Thinking of all those things that could have been mine That won’t keep you away, you’ll only say I can’t love you that way But where’s my peace of mind at the end of the day? But you can’t pick me up and you can’t drag me down Leave me alone, I need a room, a place to drown It’s not my will, this waking well, that keeps me around It’s not my will, this waking well, that keeps me around Nail driven into me Head where you drive it to hammer in your hand held Nail driven into me Head where you drive it to hammer in your hand held Nail head hammer held, nail head hammer held, nail head hammer held Nail head hammer held, nail head hammer held, nail head hammer held Nail head hammer held, nail head hammer held, nail head hammer held Nail head hammer held, nail head hammer held That keeps me, keeps me around

Last night she told that she’d had enough That it’s time to put an end to this dead-end love Go where she may she’s the center of attention However I try I don’t deserve a mention She kept on saying she’d had enough And then she gave me 10 days to get out of her life She wants to live without all of this strife No going down on my knees for her She makes it clear she thinks I’m bad for her Can’t help wondering when this pain’s going to end So my junkyard heart ends up thrown on the heap All covered in dust, too shattered to weep Just a burned out shell It’s the end of the road for my poor junkyard heart Just smashed into a brick wall in hell Ready to be crushed The more she told me about the new love in her life Every word was another twist of the knife No use in looking backwards There’s nothing to gain All buried deep now, under a layer of pain I can hear the sounds of silence, echo round my head Lord knows how I’d love to hear her heartbeat instead So my junkyard heart ends up thrown on the heap All covered in dust, too shattered to weep Just a burned out shell It’s the end of the road for my poor junkyard heart Just smashed into a brick wall in Hell Ready to be crushed And the worst thing of all, is knowing that my time has passed No turning back the clock, or making this last It’s the end of the line Not one memory to treasure, nor a song, nor a gift, Nothing to cling to, nothing to give me a lift It’s the end of time

She wandered through my life, waded through my tears Skating through my whys, escaping our goodbyes She revelled in my woe, churlish in her callousness Waltzing around the truth, extinguishing the flame of youth Swallowing her vices, foreseeing every crisis Leaving the door ajar. Living in the house of lies Living in the house of lies She unravelled my life with unrivalled perversity Swerving curvaceously into animosity She smiled as I chocked upon the sour smell of the same goodbyes I don’t know how I could have lived in that house of lies I lay awake in her shadow, fumbling with my past Making the torture last Living in the house of lies Living in the house of lies Choking on the truth at this crucial time Limping towards freedom I felt her back in my veins Igniting my remains Foretelling my demise Living in the house of lies
