Musical Memories: The Smiths - There is a light that never goes out

Back in the early days of the internet, when IRC was the cool thing and long before mp3's an American that I randomly talked to sent me two songs of a band I had never heard before. The songs where "There is a light that never goes out" and " How soon is now" by The Smiths. Little did I know how legendary these two songs all ready were in the world and how they still are. I just remember totally falling in love with the lyrics of There is a light that never goes out and also the melody and the softness of Morrissey's voice. This lyrics was written for a person of about 16 years old with all it's dreams of never ending love and the naivety of that. It's somehow really tragic, but also about teenage love. At least I felt so. I half wanted to be the person in that, half was glad I didn't die like that. This was before I heard more songs of The Smiths and realized something really irritating, but I still love the softness of the voice and the lyrics.

Take me out tonight
Where theres music and theres people
And theyre young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I havent got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and i
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please dont drop me home
Because its not my home, its their
Home, and Im welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I dont care
I dont care, I dont care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh god, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and i
Just couldnt ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I dont care
I dont care, I dont care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I havent got one, da ...
Oh, I havent got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
