Sweet and Tender Hooligan Songtext
von Morrissey

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
And he swore that he′d never, ever do it again
Of course he won't, ah, not until the next time

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
And he swore that he′d never, ever do it again
And of course he won't, ah, not until the next time

Poor old man
He had an accident with a three bar fire
But that's okay
Because he wasn′t very happy anyway

A poor woman
Strangled in her very own bed as she read
But that′s okay
'Cause she was old, and she would have died anyway

Don′t blame this sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
Because he'll never, ever do it again
Of course, he won′t, not until the next time


Jury, you've heard every word, but before you decide
Would you look into those "Mother-me" eyes?
I love you for you, my love, you my love
You my love, you my love

Jury, you′ve heard every word, but before you decide
Just look into these "Mother-me" eyes
I love you for you my love, you my love
I love you just for you, my love

Don't blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
Because he'd never, never, never, never, never, never do it again
Ah, not until the next time

Don′t blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
Because he′d never, ever do it again
And in the midst of life we are all in debt, etcetera

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
In the midst of life we are in debt, etcetera
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
In the midst of life we are in debt, etcetera


Why don't you feel me, feel me
Can you feel me, can you feel me
Can you feel me, can you feel me
Can you, can you, can you feel me?
Can you feel me, can you feel me
Can you feel me, can you feel me
Can you, can you, can you, can you feel me?

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
In the midst of life we are in debt, etcetera
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
In the midst of life we are in debt, etcetera

Bye-bye
