Song lyrics
I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine and it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams...
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno...
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days...
Am I still ill?
Oh...
Am I still ill?
Oh...
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno...
Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die...
And if you must, go to work - tomorrow
Well, if I were you I really wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them
But not very often...
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days...
Am I still ill?
Oh...
Oh, am I still ill?
Oh...

CLASSIC
This song is written, planned, produced and performed to an unprecedented level of perfection. That said, it remains filled with such a powerful, raw emotion.

Morrissey sings with such passion, and Marr demonstrates his amazing instrumental skill.
