All You Need is Me

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is a hop over to Durham for a concert by former The Smiths lead singer Morrissey. A moody evening of mopey, depressing, and dark lyrics set against a backdrop of rather poppy music. Beautifully enigmatic. With my current rollercoaster emotional ride to coincide with recently acquired marital loneliness, it will be the perfect evening to purge the demons...or maybe just exacerbate them into depressing oblivion. Either way it will be a fun night.

The newest single: All You Need Is Me

You hiss and groan and you constantly moan but you don't ever go away
And that's because all you need is me

You roll your eyes up to the skies, mock horrified
But you're still here because all you need is me

There's so much destruction all over the world
And all you can do is complain about me

You bang your head against the wall and say you're sick of it all
Yet you remain 'cause all you need is me

And then you offer your one and only joke and you ask me what will I be
When I grow up to be a man? Me? Nothing!

There's a soft voice singing in your head
Who could this be? I do believe it's me

There's a naked man standing, laughing in your dreams
You know who it is but you don't like what it means

There's so much destruction all over the world
And all you can do is stand there and complain about me

I was a small, fat child in a council house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And Fate has just handed it to me. Whoopee!

You don't like me, but you love me, either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
