In a river the colour 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
He said he'd cure your ills
But he didn't and he never will
So, so 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

A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again
She left pain
So, so 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


You did a bad thing
You did a bad thing
And I'm not happy
And I'm not sad (x3)

its mediocre at best. lose the vocals and i might rate it higher.

[christy8907]

i respect your opinion....im glad you atleast see some beauty in this cover

[PumPumBandit]

Nobody can do it like Morrissey. Not even cedric

I just got my This Station is Non-Operational about a week ago. I can not emphasize how much good substance and music it has. I am not a post hardcore/punk fan either but I really love this album. I am a bigger ATD-I fan but I do accept that their separation was not in vain since TMV is making musical history as we speak. Long live TMV and the ashes of ATD-I.

This is utterly lovely.

[ReggaeMusic3]

i agree with this guy

[rumba357]

espectacular!

[hotwireauterus]

maybe that at the drive in had absolutely nothing to do with what you call screamo/hardcore.

[armedelmo]

Yeah I was wondering this as well. If you listen to the iTunes version, he sings in a higher voice.

[b3njaques]

Not even my favorite band At the Drive-In, can do it. I mean, I love this song, but the original is just great.

[ImCoolOffThat]

The version you heard was the deluxe version of This Station is Non-Operational. If you try to get this song on iTunes, all you can get is the deluxe version which is the version which contains this song with the higher vocals. Same album, just not. Ya dig?

[embermage13]

this is awesome,, never thought at the drive in will cover a song from the smiths,, nice job

[Denis303]

wow as a Smiths fan I thought this was going to be rubbish but it was great, the perfect song for them to cover.
