Morrissey — How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?

[Verse 1] She told me she loved me Which means She must be insane I've had my face dragged in Fifteen miles of shit And I do not, and I do not And I do not like it So how can anybody say They know how I feel The only one around here who is me Is me [Verse 2] They said they respect me Which means Their judgement is crazy I've had my face dragged in Fifteen miles of shit And I do not, and I do not And I do not like it So how can anybody say They know how I feel When they are they And only I am I [Verse 3] He said he wants to befriend me Which means He can't possibly know me The voices of the real And the imagined cry: "The future is passing you by The future is passing you by" So how can anybody possibly think they know how I feel? Everybody look, see pain and walk away And as for you in your uniform Your smelly uniform You think you can be rude to me Because you wear a uniform A smelly uniform And so you think you can be rude to me But even I, as sick as I am, I would never be you Even I, as sick as I am, I would never be you Even I, sick and depraved, a traveller to the grave I would never be you I would never be you
