Lyrics

Lord, these words I beg of you As I kneel down at my bed Because soon I will be dead Let's face it, soon I will be dead

And I just want to I want to see the boy happy With some hope in his pale eyes Is that too much to ask?

Before I die I have one final dream For my own life I don't care anything

Lord, these words I beg of you As I kneel down at my bed Let's face it, soon I will be dead

And I just want to I want to see the boy happy With his arms around his first love Is that too much to ask?

Before I die I have one final dream For my own life I don't care anything

And I just want to I want to see this boy happy Why is this such a bad thing?

The title track was written by Morrissey and Jesse Tobias.

Described by NME as "Mozza at his mic-lead whipping best", the track received largely positive reviews, with the Manchester Evening News awarding it a 5/5 mark and declaring the song "reminiscent of his early work with the Smiths, this is an excellent single."
