I STARTED SOMETHING I COULDN'T FINISH 
(Morrissey and Marr)

The lanes were silent 
there was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles 
I doused our friendly venture 
with a hard-faced 
three-word gesture 

I started something 
I forced you to a zone 
and you were clearly 
never meant to go 
hair [bad word] and parted 
typical me, typical me 
typical me 
I started something 
...and now I'm not too sure 

I grabbed you by the guilded beams 
uh, that's what Tradition means 
and I doused another venture 
with a gesture 
that was...absolutely vile 

I started something 
I forced you to a zone 
and you were clearly 
never meant to go 
hair [bad word] and parted 
typical me, typical me 
typical me 
I started something 
...and now I'm not too sure 

I grabbed you by the guilded beams 
uh, that's what Tradition means 
and now eighteen months' hard labour 
seems...fair enough 

I started something                                                                          and I forced you to a zone 
and you were clearly 
never meant to go                                                                            hair [bad word] and parted 
typical me, typical me 
typical me 
I started something 
and now I'm not too sure 

I started something 
I started something 
typical me, typical me 
typical me, typical me 
typical me, typical me 
typical me 
I started something 
and now I'm not too sure
