A Swallow on My Neck [live] Songtext
von Morrissey

Oh, oh, oh...
I have been smashed again
With the men
From the Old Valhalla Road Crematorium
Boring men with the same old patter

I am a simple man
Not much to gain or lose
And I don′t know why
I held out so long for me and you

Until he drew
A swallow on my neck
And more, I will not say
He drew
A swallow, deep and blue
And soon, everyone knew

Then I was wrecked again
With the men full of bluff and ardour
From a well-known funeral parlour


I am a simple man
Not much to gain or lose
"Older and wiser"
Never applies to me

And so he drew
A swallow on my neck
And more, I will not say
He drew
A swallow, deep and blue
And soon, everyone knew

Aah...
Ooh...
Aah...

You have been telling me
That I have been
Acting childish
Foolish, ghoulish, and childish
Oh, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
But I don't mind
I don′t mind
I don't mind


Ah...
I don't mind
Ah...
