A Swallow On My Neck - Morrissey

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 ardor

From a well known funeral parlor

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

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 and I don’t mind

I don’t mind
