In praise of Steven Patrick Morrissey: patron saint of waifs, strays and misfits.
"Park the car at the side of the road
You should know
Time's tide will smother you
And I will too
When you laugh about people who feel so
Very lonely
Their only desire is to die
Well, I'm afraid
It doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh"
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore:
Lyrics, Stephen Morrissey / Music, Johnny Marr
Listening to Front Row profile on Radio Four, and remembering being 17.
