There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths

If I could change the things I've done Would I be the only one To with again if only I could take your pain away And think of better, better things to say The highest price I'd gladly pay For you to live, just golden days, golden days, golden days So celebrate the moment now, have all that you desire We'll keep each other warm, together we'll weather the storm The children are dying and nobody's crying There's got to be something out there, someone who cares Got to be something out there Give me real life, the worry and the strife I'll throw it out of the window, to the dogs below So come with me I'll guide you through wardrobes of fantasy And treasure chests of what could be A world without anxiety A legacy of golden days, golden days, golden days Leave it all behind the blind leading the blind Have all that you desire Gotta be, gotta be someone out there Let's break the rules scattering the jewels Of joy amongst ourselves The lonely, lonely of the shelves Feel good about yourself, I'll drink to your health Have all that you desire I'm looking for something, and I don't know what it is

And if the terrors of the night Come creeping into your days And the world comes stealing children from your room Guard your innocence from hallucination And know that darkness always gathers around the light If there is a light We can't always see And there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark Now we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don't let it go out When the wind screams and shouts And the sea is a dragon's tail And the ship that stole your heart away Sets sail When all you've left is leaving And all you got is grieving And all you know is needing If there is a light We can't always see And there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark Now we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don't let it go out 'Cause this is a song A song for someone Someone like me I know the world is done But you don't have to be I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves Are you tough enough to be kind? Do you know your heart has its own mind? Darkness gathers around the light Hold on Hold on There is a light We can't always see If there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark That we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don't let it go out And this is a song A song for someone This is a song A song for someone Someone like me Someone like me Someone like me

Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to So if there's something you'd like to try If there's something you'd like to try Ask me, I won't say no, how could I?

Spending warm summer days indoors Writing frightening verse To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg Ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me Because if it's not love Then it's the bomb, the bomb The bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb That will bring us together Nature is a language can't you read?

So ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me Because if it's not love Then it's the bomb, the bomb The bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb That will bring us together If it's not love Then it's the bomb Then it's the bomb that will bring us together So ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me

Smoke Lingers 'round your fingers Train Heave on to Euston Do you think you've made The right decision this time? You left Your tired family grieving And you think they're sad Because you're leaving But didn't you see the jealousy in the eyes Of the ones who had to stay behind? And do you think you've made The right decision this time? You left Your girlfriend on the platform With this really ragged notion That you'll return But she knows That when he goes He really goes And do you think you've made The right decision this time?

Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep I'm tired and I I want to go to bed Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep And then leave me alone Don't try to wake me in the morning 'Cause I will be gone Don't feel bad for me I want you to know Deep in the cell of my heart I will feel so glad to go Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep I don't want to wake up On my own anymore Sing to me Sing to me I don't want to wake up On my own anymore Don't feel bad for me I want you to know Deep in the cell of my heart I really want to go There is another world There is a better world Well, there must be Well, there must be Well, there must be Well, there must be Well... Bye, bye Bye...

What she said "How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead And decided to bury me? God knows, I'm ready" What she said was sad But then, all the rejection she's had To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy What she said was not For the job or lover that she never had What she read All heady books she'd sit and prophesize It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead To really, really open her eyes What she read All heady books she'd sit and prophesize It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead To really, really open her eyes What she said "I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death And I need to cling to something!" What she said "I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death And I need to cling to something!"
