There is no love in modern life.

I can choke myself to please you
and I can sink much lower than usual
but there is nothing I can do to make you mine.

I was wasting my time
trying to fall in love
disappointment came to me and booted me and bruised and hurt me.

I find ‘m OK by myself
and I don’t need you
or your benevolence to make sense.

Versuche, die wirren Gedanken mit Morrissey-Zitaten zu ordnen. Da sind Nächte, in denen ich nur mit Mühe schlafe und was ich mit Sicherheit sagen kann, ist nur das Eine: Years of Refusal ist wunderbar.
