I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love,
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me,

But that's how people grow up.
That's how people grow up.

I was wasting my time
Looking for love,
Someone must look at me
and see their sunlit dream. [?]

I was wasting my time
Praying for love,
For the love that never comes from
someone who does not exist and

That's how people grow up,
That's how people grow up.

Let me live before I die.
Oh, not me, not I..

I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself,
Someone on their deathbed said:
"There are other sorrows too."

I was driving my car,
I crashed and broke my spine,
So yes, there are things worse in life than
never being some-one's sweetie.

That's how people grow up. x4

As for me - I'm ok.
For now, anyway..

booted me and bruised and hurt me

But that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me
and see there's someone of their dreams

I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For the love that never comes from
someone who does not acquaint me

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

Let me live before I die
Oh, not me, not I

I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on the deathbed said

That's how people grow up x4

As for me I'm ok
For now anyway

That's my interpretation. How did I do?

Thanks

I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
booted me and bruised and hurt me -YES!

But that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me
and see there's some[one of their] dreams -HMM?

I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For the love that never comes from
someone who does not exist and -STILL HEAR IT

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

Let me live before I die
Oh, not me, not I

I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on the deathbed said
"There are other sorrows too" -YES!

You did just great, I disagree only at one place, but we need a third part for that

I updated the first posting.
Yeah, it's worth a listen or two or eight.

pandora_cocteau · May 29, 2007, 01:10 PM

i like the lyrics of that song.....i'm excited for the album. i think its really awesome how he gets us all really really excited about the new material before it's released.

Assassin · May 29, 2007, 02:26 PM

Little bit of fine tuning on the chrous, and I think he has a great song.

All You Need Is Me I think is slightly ahead.

Mars_Rover · May 29, 2007, 02:34 PM

Those are GREAT lyrics. Mr. Morrissey hasn't lost his touch.

I prefer this one to All You Need Is Me for the time being. The theme is similar, but it's a more personal approach. Just too many 'someone's for one song, perhaps.

CeciDeMorrissey · May 29, 2007, 03:02 PM

Oh Gosh Morrissey... You 're the dream of thousands!!! Starting with me!!!

Beautiful moving lyrics...

"So yes, there are things worse in life than
never being someone's sweetie"

Atrocious.

Beautiful song.....I really love it!! Thanks for the lyrics...

Atrocious.

I agree. Things were going okay until I got to those lines. Agh. What's his obsession with all things 'sweetie'? It even makes me cringe in 'Panic'...

The Youngest · May 29, 2007, 08:53 PM

There isn't sweetie in Panic is there? There is Honey-Pie.

ah. You're right. Honey Pie / Sweetie Pie - I got confused. But all of those terms of affection turn me off. They remind me of my parents...

But there is "sweetness" in Bigmouth Strikes Again...
