The Smiths — This Night Has Opened My Eyes

[Verse 1] In a river the color of lead Immerse the baby's head Wrap her up in the News Of The World Dump her on a doorstep, girl This night has opened my eyes And I will never sleep again You kicked and cried like a bullied child A grown man of twenty-five Oh, he said he'd cure your ills But he didn't and he never will [Chorus 1] Oh, save your life Because you've only got one The dream has gone But the baby is real Oh, you did a good thing She could have been a poet Or, she could have been a fool Oh, you did a bad thing And I'm not happy And I'm not sad [Verse 2] A shoeless child on a swing Reminds you of your own again She took away your troubles Oh, but then again She left pain [Chorus 2] Oh, please save your life Because you've only got one The dream has gone But the baby is real Oh, you did a good thing She could have been a poet Or, she could have been a fool Oh, you did a bad thing And I'm not happy And I'm not sad [Outro] Oh oh Oh Oh la la And I'm not happy And I'm not sad Oh oh Oh Oh la la And I'm not happy And I'm not sad
