At the time, he seemed to agree, telling one interviewer in all sincerity it was ‘the best song, in my mind, that I have recorded’. ...Modelled on his home demo, Nevin constructed the opening and closing sound collage using samples of country singer [[Mention::Skeeter Davis]]’s 1963 hit ‘The End Of The World’ alongside Dictaphone recordings of a waitress friend from Minneapolis called Suzy Solan. </blockquote> == Lyrics == <poem> I'm standing in the dock With my innocent hand on my heart I've changed my plea I've changed my plea to guilty Because freedom is wasted on me See how your rules spoil the game? Outside there is a pain Emotional air raids exhausted my heart And it's safer to be inside So, I'm changing my plea And no one can dissuade me Because freedom is wasted on me See how your rules spoil the game? Something I have learned If there is one thing in life I've observed It's that everybody's got somebody Oh no, not me So I've changed my plea to guilty And reason and freedom is a waste It's a lot like life </poem> ==Music Video== <youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB-CQvEWmkw</youtube> ===Credits=== * Performed on the [[Jonathan Ross]] TV show, 1990 {{CommonSongSections | Artist = Morrissey | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
