A reply to a member's email from Peter Noone was shared here in [https://www.morrissey-solo.com/news/2000/866.shtml 2000] <blockquote> "Hello Shawn, Thanks for the email. I heard Morisey was a big HH fan, so I was happy he did one of our songs. I think he just missed.I think my version captured the sadness of life on the road better than he was able to do, although I will admit he has cornered the sadness market much better than me. See you in the whirled. Peter Noone 'The artist formerly known as Herman'" </blockquote> == Lyrics == <poem> East west, over the ocean Perpetual motion, traveling around No rest singing and playing Night out and day in doing the rounds What a great life this must seem Swelled joints, every thing classy Nothing is tacky, only the best Lush girls, older and dying Sighing and crying, 'This is success' What a great life this must seem But when I hear your voice singing out The bells of home are ringing out And I feel all alone (And I think of my home) Cold times a wind through the houses The bleakness arouses a longing to leave Time flew, I wanted to see you Somehow I could not do because of success What a strange life this can be But when I hear your voice singing out The bells of home are ringing out And I feel all alone (And I think of my home) </poem> {{CommonSongSections | Artist = Morrissey | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
