Half A Person (The Smiths cover) Songtext

And if you have five seconds to spare
I'll tell you the story of my life:

Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I

I booked myself in at the Y.W.C.A
I said: "I like it here - can I stay?
(I like it here - can I stay?)

I like it here - can I stay?
(I like it here - can I stay?)

And do you have a vacancy
for a back-scrubber?"

She was left behind, and sour
And she wrote to me equally dour
She said: "In the days when you were
hopelessly poor
I just liked you more..."

And if you have five seconds to spare
I'll tell you the story of my life:

Sixteen, clumsy and shy

I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y.W.C.A

I said: "I like it here - can I stay?
(I like it here - can I stay?)

I like it here - can I stay?
(I like it here - can I stay?)

And do you have a vacancy
for a back-scrubber?"

Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent too long on your trail

Far too long
chasing your tail
