And you even spoke to me, and said
Love is natural and real
If you're so very good-looking, why do you sleep alone tonight?"
See, the sea wants to take me
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
While they're in each other's arms"
I know it's over, still I cling
Publisher: MARR SONGS
Not tonight, my love
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
"If you're so funny then why are you on your own tonight?
That's why you're on your own tonight
More than she loves you
I don't know where else I can go
Over, over, over, over, over
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Over and over
Oh well, enough said
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Handsome groom, give her room
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Though she needs you
I don't know where else I can go, oh
And it never really began
And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
But in my heart it was so real
Oh mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
And I know it's over, still I cling
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Songwriters: Johnny Marr, Steven Morrissey
"I know 'cause tonight is just like any other night
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
But not for you, my love
Do you think you can help me ?
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
Over and over and over and over
With your triumphs and your charms
Love is natural and real
I know it's over
The knife wants to slit me
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
If you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
Over, over
