first date

so many morrissey songs mean so much to me...

LET ME KISS YOU

there's a place in the sun
for anyone who has the will to chase one
and i think i've found mine
yes, i do believe i've found mine / so
close your eyes
and think of someone
you physically admire
and let me kiss you
let me kiss you

I've zig-zagged all over America
and i cannot find a safety haven
say would you let me cry
on your shoulder
i've heard that you'll try anything twice
close your eyes
and think of someone you physically admire
and let me kiss you
let me kiss you
but then you open your eyes
and you see someone
that you physically despise
but my heart is open
my heart is open to you


I HAVE FORGIVEN JESUS

i was a good kid
i wouldn't do you no harm
i was a nice kid
with a nice paper-round
forgive me any pain
i may have brung to you
with God's help i know
i'll always be near to you
but jesus hurt me
for all the desire
he placed in me there's nothing i can do
about desire

I was a good kid
through the hail and snow i'd go
just to moon you
i carried my heart in my hand
do you understand?
do you understand?
jesus hurted
when he deserted me, but
i have forgiven jesus
for all the love
he placed in me
when there's no-one i can turn to with this love
monday-humiliation
tuesday-suffocation
wednesday-condescension
thursday-is just pathetic
by friday-life has killed me
by friday-life has killed me

why did you give me
so much desire?
when there is nowhere i can go
to offload this desire
why did you give me
so much love
in a loveless world
when there is no one i can turn to
to unlock all this love
why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
jesus - do you hate me?
why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
do you hate me? do you hate me?
do you hate me? do you hate me?
