A Swallow On My Neck
(morrissey/whyte)
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
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 parlor

i am a simple man
not much to gain or lose
older and wiser
never applies to me

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

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
don't mind
aaah
