Or am I Frankenstein You said blow them away To kingdom come Or will the kingdom be one? No one can hold a candle to you When it comes down to virtue and truth No one, no one can hold a candle to you And I dim next to you Hi-ro-shima Yes yes yes! </poem> {{CommonSongSections | Artist = Morrissey | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
