"Satellite Of Love"
(Lou Reed)
This song, a cover of the Lou Reed classic, was never recorded by Morrissey. Its lyrics are transcribed here without permission as they are heard in the live performance that was released as a single.
Satellite's gone up to the skies
Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I cannot stand the TV 1
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of
Satellite's gone way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled with parking cars
I watched it for a little while
I cannot stand the TV 1
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of
I've been told you've been happy 2
With Harry, Mark and John
Monday, Tuesday, anyday but Thursday 3
With Harry, Mark and John
Satellite's gone up to the skies
Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I cannot stand the TV 1
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of
Satellite of love
Satellite...
Satellite...
Satellite...
Satellite...
Satellite...
