"You Must Please Remember"
(Morrissey/Whyte)

 

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

A small boy
big ideas
you must please remember
A long road
with no turn off
you must remember
Caught in your headlights
like a frightened animal
you must remember

Someone cries
twice nightly
of course I do remember 1
Someone cries
and you think quite rightly so
but you refuse to remember
Caught in your headlights
like a frightened animal
you must remember

Remember, remember
Remember, remember

Low lights
and long nights
I try hard to not remember
And you
too beautiful
I can't look
I've done so
very many stupid things
it's too late... remember

Remember, remember
Remember, remember

Remember
remember
remember
remember
remember
remember
remember
remember

 

1 In early acoustic versions of this song recorded during the Miraval sessions for the "Southpaw Grammar" album Morrissey sang the more simple "I do remember".
