This Night Has Opened My Eyes Lyrics

[Verse 1: Morrissey]
In a river the color of lead
Immerse the baby's head
Wrap her up in the News Of The World
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of twenty-five
Oh, he said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will

[Chorus: Morrissey]
Oh, save your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad

[Verse 2: Morrissey]
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again
She left pain

[Chorus: Morrissey]
Oh, please save your life
Because you've only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad

[Outro: Morrissey]
Oh oh
Oh
Oh la la
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
Oh oh
Oh
Oh la la
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad
