"Interlude"
(George De La Rue/Shaper)

 

The only albums featuring this song are "Suedehead - The Best Of Morrissey" and The HMV/Parlophone Singles '88-'95 and neither include lyrics. The words are transcribed here without permission, as they are heard.

Time, is like a dream
And now, for a time, you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine

Who knows if it's real
Or just something we're both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love

Loving you is a world that's strange
So much more than my heart can hold
Loving you makes the whole world change
Loving you I could not grow old
No, nobody knows when love will end 1
So till then, sweet friend

Time, is like a dream
And now, for a time, you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine

Who knows if it's real
Or just something we're both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love

What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love

 

Note: Unlike most other Morrissey covers, no significant changes were made to the original lyrics.

1 In the solo-Morrissey version released on "The Very Best Of Morrissey", Morrissey sings this line instead of Siouxsie, and he sings "nobody knows when life will end".
