"Moon Over Kentucky"
(Ron Mael / Jim Mankey)

 

This cover of a Sparks song was done live by Morrissey and never recorded by him in a studio. The lyrics given here are those of the original version by Sparks, as Morrissey was faithful to them.

I heard somewhere that they're stamping, trampling all upon you
Your pocked face remains impassive though I know it hurts you

Moon over Kentucky
Take me with you
Full moon over Kentucky
Leave this mooring and seek some new rendez-vous

Cut your ties with this possessive mother, she'll destroy you
Cut your ties and find another one who will respect you

Moon over Kentucky
Take me with you
Full moon over Kentucky
Leave this mooring and seek some new rendez-vous

You've been waiting for your first encounter, what a letdown
I'm just finishing my first encounter, what a letdown

Moon over Kentucky
Take me with you
Full moon over Kentucky
Leave this mooring and seek some new rendez-vous
