Smiths The Still Ill Lyrics

Still Ill Lyrics

I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine -
it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me
why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams
anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams
Does the body rule the
mind
Or does the mind rule the body ?
I dunno...
Under the iron bridge
we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the
old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill ?
Oh
...
Am I still ill ?
Oh ...
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the
mind rule the body ?
I dunno...
Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me
why, and I'll die
And if you must, go to work - tomorrow
Well, if I were
you I really wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I
should know, because I've seen them
But not very often ...
Under the iron
bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't
like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill
?
Oh ...
Oh, am I still ill ?
Oh ...
