Morrissey I Knew I Was Next Lyrics

I Knew I Was Next Lyrics

So what do you think I am?

And how precisely could you tell

A decent skin is all I am?

People think badly of me

But one day maybe they'll praise

Oh, but meanwhile



I knew I was next and I didn't mind

Here I offer you my life for any debts you're due

And when you've been down for the very last time

There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you



The shadows of trees, they reach to me

They know a decent skin is all I am

People think badly of me

But when I'm in my grave maybe they'll praise

Oh, but meanwhile



I knew I was next and I didn't mind

Here I offer you my life for any debts you're due

And when you've been down for the very last time

There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you



Oh, but meanwhile



I knew I was next and I didn't mind

When you've been slapped around

And one more slap can't hurt you

And when you've been down for the very last time

There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you



I knew I was next and I didn't mind

When you've been slapped around

And one more slap can't hurt you

And when you've been down for the very last time

There is nothing anyone can say to hurt you
