I take the cue from
}}
Certain people I know
I use the cue
And then I hand it on to you


==Personnel==
And when I swing it
So, it catches his eye
Weren't you there?
- You'd have died!


* [[Morrissey]] - Vocals <br>
I trust the views of
*  - Bass guitar, guitars<br>
Certain people I know
*  - Guitars, keyboard<br>
They look at danger
*  - Drums<br>
And they laugh their heads off
* Producer - <br>
* Assistant Engineer - <br>
* Art co-ordination - <br>
* Layout - <br>
* Photography - <br>

George the 23rd
File: | Original cover art. (1988)
Don't you find this absurd?


I'd hate to be like
Certain people I know
They break their necks
And can't afford to get them fixed


</gallery>
They'd sacrifice all
Of their principles for
Anything cashable
I do believe it's terrible
