This Night Has Opened My Eyes

Johnny Marr / Morrissey

In a river the color 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 25
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

A 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, oh
Oh, la-la
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad

Oh, oh
Oh, la-la
And I'm not happy and I'm not sad
