"Let The Right One Slip In"
(Morrissey/Alain Whyte & Gary Day)

 

This song is only available on the 2010 redesigned edition of "Bona Drag" which doesn't include lyrics. They are transcribed here without permission, as they are heard.

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot
They cannot
They cannot do
What you want them to

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They do not 1
They do not 1
They do not see 1
What you want them to

Let the right one in
Let the old days lay 2
Put the tricks and schemes
For good, away

I will advise
until my mouth dries
I will advise you to
Let the right one slip in
Slip in
Slip in

And when at last it does
I'd say you were within your rights
To fight
The right ones and say
What kept you so long 3
What kept you so long

 

In the only live performance of this song, on 25 November 1992, Morrissey made the following changes:

1 They will not

2 Let the old dreams fade

3 What took you so long
