Billy Budd - Morrissey

Say, Billy Budd

So you think you should?

Oh, everyone’s laughing

Say, Billy Budd

So you think that you should?

Everyone’s laughing!

Since I took up with you

Things have been bad

Yeah, but now it’s 12 years on

Now it’s 12 years on

Yes, and I took up with you

I took my job application into town

Did you hear?

They turned me down

Yes, and it’s all because of us

Oh, and what was in our eyes

Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah

I said, Billy Budd

I would happily lose

Both of my legs

I would lose both of my legs

Oh, if it meant you could be free

Oh, if it meant you could be free

(Don't leave us in the dark!)
