Billy Budd - Lyrics by Morrissey


Lyrics
Say, billy budd
So you think you should ? Oh, everyone's laughing
Say, billy budd
So you think that you should ? Everyone's laughing !
Since I took up with you
Things have been bad
Yeah, but now it's 12 years on
Now it's 12 years on
Yes, and I took up with you
I took my job application
Into town
Did you hear ? they turned me down
Yes, and it's all because of us
Oh, and what was in our eyes
Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah
I said, billy budd
I would happily lose
Both of my legs
I would lose both of my legs
Oh, if it meant you could be free
Oh, if it meant you could be free(don't leave us in the dark!)
