THE LAST OF THE FAMOUS INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS
(Morrissey/Street)

Dear hero imprisoned 
with all the new crimes 
that you are perfecting 
oh I can't help quoting you 
'cause everything that you said rings [bad word] and now in my cell 
(well, I followed you) 
and here's a list of who I slew 
Reggie Kray - do you know my name? 
oh, don't say you don't 
please say you do, (oh) I am:
the last of the famous 
international playboys 
the last of the famous 
international playboys

and in my cell 
(well, I loved you) 
and every man with a job to do 
Ronnie Kray - do you know my face? 
oh, don't say you don't 
please say you do, (oh) I am:
the last of the famous 
international playboys 
the last of the famous 
international playboys

In our lifetime those who kill 
the newsworld hands them stardom 
and these are the ways 
on which I was raised 
these are the ways 
on which I was  
which I was raised
I never wanted to kill 
I AM NOT NATURALLY EVIL 
such things I do 
just to make myself 
more attractive to you 
HAVE I FAILED?

Oh, the last of the famous 
international playboys
