When Last I Spoke To Carol - Morrissey

When last I spoke to Carol I said:

«I can’t pretend it gets easier.»

She said:

«I've hung on, I have edged around this narrow ledge since the day I was born

in 1975.»

When last I spoke to Carol I said:

«I can’t pretend I feel love for you.»

She said:

«I've hammered a smile across this pasty face of mine since the day I was born

in 1975.»

When I said goodbye to Carol

Black earth upon the casket fell

She had faded to

Something I always knew

To the rescue

Nobody ever comes
