10

Now I've had enough
I've had more than could be
My rightful share
Of nights I can't bear
How can it be fair ?
Time must wipe them out


So, again, I lay awake
In a trance
Oh, I just want my chance
But only with you


Up there with the best lyrics that he's ever written. Heartbreaking perfection :o
 
I give this a 9...
Not my favourite Morrissey song, but it does rate highly...
 
Sorry puts me to sleep...I Like Sweet Boy better...not bad..but not great either
 
**8**

It's lovely :)
 
Can someone shove this onto the download's forum? I love the lyrics but I've never heard the song, ever!

Not to sound triteless BUT

It's avaliable on My Early Burglary Years...which is essential for containing many other rare songs...
 
Surprised that so many have given this 10.
Perfection? Hardly!
 
I swear, whoever DOESN'T give this a 9 or a 10 must be devoid of all emotion.
