"Safe, Warm Lancashire Home"
(Morrissey/Stephen Street)

 

This song has yet to appear on an album. Its lyrics are transcribed here without permission, as they are heard.

Safe warm Lancashire home
How could I leave you
I don't know

Cold hard girl
Veneer is all that she was
A head on her shoulders like Dante

But the quotes don't hold
The punchline is old
And I don't belong to no one

Safe warm Lancashire home
How could I leave you
I don't know

Cold hard girl
Veneer must be all that she was
Well this is the view that now helps me

But the sky is clouds
As the world comes of age
And I don't belong to no one

The world comes of age
As the world comes of age
A blessing or a burden
It's a blessing or a burden
