Morrissey - The Public Image (Single Version)

LYRICS
When I'm dead
It will be read
Here Lies The Public Image
5 percent human being
And 95 image
What you see is what you get
And what you get may well be worth seeing
But just be careful when you walk
On those old broken stones
Because they are my feelings
If I smile
Do not be swayed
I simply serve the public image
When all have gone
Just one remains
Thank God for the public image
What you see is what you get
And what you get may well be worth seeing
But just be careful when you walk
On those old broken stones
Because they are my feelings
Scrape beneath
The surface and
You will find more public image
I used to have
A childish dream
Until I had it kicked from me
I tried to pass myself off as a
Human being
But the truth soon exposed me
I had a love and she was very kind
But she was no match for the Public Image
What you see is all there is
And what there is may well be worth seeing
But just be careful what you say
About people like me
Because we don't take it lightly
SONG WRITERS: Morrissey/Boz Boorer

The Messiah has spoken

[@darlinjacq1552]

I AM and I would like to meet the 5% of you that is human being...

[@Grifftinderpals]

Possibly one of Mozza’s best tunes...if I was to pick the best 500!...where would one begin.?

[@jc_rengifo3084]

Why have I never heard this Morrissey song! Never ceases to surprise me.

[@briaredpath9386]

One of the B sides of I have forgiven Jesus.

[@darlinjacq1552]

And when I'm dead it will be read, "there goes nothing..."

[@frankdarwiche1471]

and hence absolute freedom, in existentialism at least! Cheers!

[@glortw]

Thank you so much for uploading all these amazing songs he hasn't uploaded. Seriously.

[@poorringo]

One of the I've Forgiven Jesus B-Sides. Boy, what a time to be a Moz fan. Waiting on those CD Singles to come out with the B-sides and extra tracks.

[@adamwhite3347]

Remember buying "I have Forgiven Jesus" in the morning then going to the Earls Court show in the evening. Glorious days.

[@DarlinJacq]

You You You and others similar to you, are the Great Who's that I LUFF!!!

[@darlinjacq1552]

Since Girlfriend In A Coma outed me, I tend to take many Morrissey songs very personally. I AM going to love my life with Lonn while I AM biding my time. This life is my fantasy and I AM going to make it as kind and as quiet and as beautiful as possible. Anyway, thank you for hiding me away in Salem while you spread your glorious Public Image...

[@pena.3302]

Wtf..your self deluded. at best a mediocre copying.
P.i.L..themes

[@ohdear671]

I thought he was covering the PIL song when I saw this.

[@AlsatianCousin]

Not familiar with that.

[@Mr.Wrong1]

Same here. I thought I gotta hear this!

[@angelariley.9963]

Me,too. That would br something to behold.

[@billy-rock-a1152]

that's impossible...

[@fightsforrights9744]

What year was this song recorded? It is good.

[@CountDruckula]

2004

[@douglasfreeman3229]

John Lydon seems to have mellowed a bit.

[@pena.3302]

NO 1 ELSE WILLING TO SOK UP ON BEHALF OF SNEADS. 'fans freinds'..well he did Fkin cultural Sheep grazing on the sides.

[@user-xk3ip6wd1z]

I love most of Morrisseys stuff but this is self indulgent crap!
