THIS NIGHT HAS OPENED MY EYES
(Morrissey and Marr)

In a river the colour of lead 
immerse the baby's head 
wrap her up in the News Of The World 
dump her on a doorstep, girl 
this night has opened my eyes 
and I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child 
a grown man of twenty-five 
oh, he said he'd cure your ills 
but he didn't and he never will 
oh, save your life 
because you've only got one
The dream has gone 
but the baby is real 
oh you did a good thing 
she could have been a poet 
or, she could have been a fool 
oh you did a bad thing 
and I'm not happy 
and I'm not sad
shoeless child on a swing 
reminds you of your own again 
she took away your troubles 
oh but then again 
she left pain 
so, please save your life 
because you've only got one
The dream has gone 
but the baby is real 
oh you did a good thing 
she could have been a poet 
or, she could have been a fool 
oh you did a bad thing 
and I'm not happy 
and I'm not sad 
oh...
