When your gift unfurls
when your Talent becomes apparent
I will roar from the stalls
I will gurgle from the circle
The Saints smile shyly
down on you
they couldn't get over
your nine-leaved clover ¹
Lucky lisp was not wasted on you
lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you
When your name is with the best
will my name be on your guest list?
and I will roar from the stalls
oh the balcony fool was me, you fool ²
Jesus made this all for you, love
He couldn't get over
your Grandma's omen ³
Lucky lisp was not wasted on you
lucky lisp wasn't wasted on you

 

² On the first leg of the 2007 Greatest Hits tour Morrissey always replaced this line with a repeat of "I will gurgle from the circle". The only recorded time he sang the 'balcony fool' line is in the only live performance of this song on the latter tour's third American leg.

³ On the 2007 Greatest Hits tour Morrissey generally sang "they couldn't get over your Grandma's odor".
