The Smiths - Late Night Maudlin Street songtekst

Je score:

goodbye house
     goodbye stairs
     I was born here
     I was raised here, and
     ...I took some stick here
     love at first sight
     may sound trite
     but it's true, you know
     I could list the details
     of everything you ever wore
     or said, or how you stood that day
     and as we spend the last night
     on Maudlin Street, I say
     "goodbye house-forever!"
     I never stole a happy hour
     around here
     Where the world's ugliest boy
     became what you see
     here I am - the ugliest man
     Its the last night on Maudlin Street
     and truly I do love you
     oh, truly I do love you
     When I sleep with that picture of
     you framed beside my bed
     oh, it's childish and it's silly
     but I think it's you in my room
     by the bed (...yes, I told you it was silly...)
     and I know
     I took strange pills
     but I never meant to hurt you
     oh truly I love you
     I came home late one night
     everyone had gone to bed
     nobody stays up for you
     when you have sixteen stitches
     all around your head
     the last buss I missed to Maudlin Street
     so, he drove me home in the Van
     complaining: "Women only like me for my mind..."
     don't leave your torch behind
     power-cuts ahead
     as we crept through the park
     but no I cannot steal a pair of jeans
     off a clothesline for you
     but you...without clothes
     oh I could not keep a straight face
     me - without clothes?
     well a nation turns its back and gags...
     I'm packed
     I am moving house
     a half-life disappears today
     every slag waves me on
     (secretly wishing me gone
     well, I will be soon
     oh - I will be soon)
     There were bad times on Maudlin Street
     when they took you away in a police car
     dear Inspector - don't you know?
     don't you care?
     don't you know - about Love?
     Your gran died
     and your mother died
     on Maudlin Street
     in pain and ashamed
     with never time to say
     those special things
     I took the keys from Maudlin Street
     well, it's only bricks and mortar!
     and...truly I do love you
     wherever you are
     wherever you are
