Re: Thank you
Valid points about the police action...BUT the next modifying phrase following is "soon put paid". The imagery intends an investment has been made with alterior motives. THEN...Morrissey does a clever bit later, by a turn of the phrase "dawn raid" again, by creating a scenario where he's "taken down" in a police action by the discovery without using the term a second time (dawn raid).
By the way...this seems lyric seems to be either a lift of the Autopilot Off song "Friday Mourning" or a "response" song to it. The similarity in tone and some phrases and themes are too close at points to ignore:
Autopilot Off's "Friday Mourning"
A desperate breath inhaled, then it leaves you.
Hollowed out, and you struggle to feel something.
Abandoned eyes that drowned in the disbelief and
doubt, when you woke up Friday morning.
It still seems so surreal.
These scars should slowly heal.
I remember when you kneeled, you didn't say goodbye.
You knew she wasn't gone.
You whispered,
"Until we meet again, you'll be
watching me, I know.
Please save a place for me and when I'm finally
called back home, I'll see you smiling there."
The angels in your bedroom softly sing her name.
It's getting easier to sleep now.
So you feel some comfort, but still it's not the same.
But it's better than the twisted silence.
You woke up Friday morning.
