MORRISSEY : LOST DEMO

“Once Upon A Woman’s Body”

words Morrissey / music Jesse Tobias

Once upon a woman’s body, you laughed too soon and she said she would unman you.
Once upon a woman’s body, you gagged too soon and she said “I’m gonna undo you”
“Don’t you come running home to unleash your tears me and your Daddy we won’t always be here” 
Once upon a woman’s body, you went soft too soon and she said “that’s OK - I’ll find someone who… isn’t you”
Once upon a woman’s body, you could not go through with all of it you can’t name it because you can’t face it
“Don’t you come running home to unleash your tears me and your Daddy we won’t always be here” 
precious forbid! mercy me! god be thanked! lamb sakes alive! he has divined! precious forbid!


MORRISSEY : LOST DEMO

IF SATURDAY EVER COMES” words Morrissey / music Mando Lopez

If Saturday, ooh if Saturday ever comes … where will I be, this time next week? oh if Saturday ever comes? / Nurses pull the screens and then unplug machines at the bed where your brother lies, where your brother lies, where your brother lies / Oh if Saturday, oh if Saturday ever comes, where will I be? / winter branches high …  ah watery sky and … here am I … / There’s a casket draped red, white and blue let this procession be a lesson for you /  there’s a passing bell tolling the knell and an urn awaiting your turn / there’s a boneyard stuffed to overflow rest assured! they’ll always find room for you.
