There Is A Light That Never
Goes Out
(letra: Morrissey música:
Johnny Marr)
Take me out tonight
where there's music and there's people who are young and alive
Hmmmm, driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't 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 don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home,
and I'm 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 and the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't 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 couldn't ask)
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't 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 That Never Goes Out foi lançada como single
somente após o fim dos Smiths, em dezembro de 1992. Ao aparecer
pela primeira vez, no álbum The Queen Is
Dead, a música comoveu público e crítica
ao contar uma estória de amor, repressão familiar e morte
magnificamente embalada por arranjos de cordas e flauta. O encarte de The
Queen Is Dead credita a orquestração a uma tal de "The
Hated Salford Ensemble" que nada mais é do que um emulador programado pelo próprio Johnny Marr. Durante as apresentações ao vivo, as partes
de flauta em There Is A Light That Never Goes Out eram feitas na
guitarra, como seria a idéia original de Johnny Marr para a música.
Pelo fato de ter sido previamente incluída em diversos álbuns
e compilações, a faixa mostrou um desempenho medíocre
como single; trazendo Sandie Shaw na capa, ela não ultrapassou a
posição 25 nas paradas inglesas.
