Ok, why does every lyric sheet leave out the "Alain" part of the song? Does anyone else feel he is singing "Alain"? Does anyone know the rumor behind this?

He’s not saying Alan, it’s just a drawn-out “aaaa—aa—nd”.In the song Morrissey sings "Alain" reach for my hand. The lyrics sheet left out the Alain part. Why?

ATKDX001 - Europe.What lyric sheets? Quarry did not have an official lyric sheet. We all know the Japan versions are just wrong.
LOLI've only just realised it isn't Late Night MaudAlain Street.
Is it wrong that I had presumed this line was a reference to oral sex?"there’s a wild man in my head”
That's how I've always read it - a typical Moz in-joke, she never came along because he never dreamed about a woman to start with. "I'm Not Sorry" is wonderful.Here’s an actual twist I’ve always contemplated, though:
Instead of “the woman of my dreams, she never came along / there never was one / not sorry for the things I’ve said / there’s a wild man in my head”
It can be read literally (there never was one/he never met one, and he’s crazy or whatever for being wild in the head), or it’s another one of the subtle admissions of homosexuality: there never was a woman that came along because there isn’t a “wild man” in his head, but a “Wilde man,” referring to Oscar. He prefers men, hence why a woman of his dreams never came along.
I’d like to think that some rare pressings of YATQ have it printed as Wilde instead of wild man in the booklet, @Famous when dead.
