BOXERS 
(Morrissey / Alain Whyte)

Losing in front of your home crowd 
you wish the ground 
would open up and take you down 
and will time never pass? 
will time never pass, for us?

Your weary wife is walking away 
your nephew is [bad word] 
well he thinks the world of you 
and I have to close my eyes 

Losing in front of your home town 
the crowd call your name 
they love you all the same 
the sound, the smell and the spray 
you will take them all away 
and they'll stay 'til the grave

Your weary wife is walking away 
your nephew is [bad word] 
well he thinks the world of you 
and I have to close my eyes 

Losing in your home town  [bad word] is the bell 
that will not ring again 
you will return one day 
because of all the things 
that you see 
when your eyes close

Your weary wife - walking away 
your nephew, it's [bad word] 
he still thinks the world of you 
and I have to dry my eyes
