"There Speaks A True Friend"
(Morrissey/Alain Whyte)

 

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

Now there
There speaks a true friend
There speaks a friend for life

You told me all the things
That you think are wrong with me
I just wish you'd stayed around
and helped me put them right
But nevertheless

There
There speaks a true friend
There speaks a friend for life

You listed all the things
That people cannot stand about me
I just wish you'd stayed around
and helped me to improve
Because I've tried, I've tried
I've really really tried

You say I don't know how to live
(And that's true)
You say I don't deserve to live
Oh where would I be without my friends to help me?
I just can't imagine where I'd be, can you?
NO!
