Around the centre of town Is where I belong Am I really doing wrong? So why do you smile When you think about Earls Court? But you cry when you think of all The battles you've fought (and lost)? It may all end tomorrow Or, it could go on forever (In which case: I'm doomed) It could go on forever... (In which case: I'm doomed) </poem> == Image Gallery == <gallery> File:1990-09-07 R&R Magazine (P056; Piccadilly Palare Release Blurb).jpg | Clip from R&R Magazine (Sep. 7, 1990) </gallery> {{CommonSongSections | Artist = Morrissey | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
