"There's A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends"
(Morrissey/Mark E. Nevin)

 

These words are transcribed without permission the way they appear in the "Kill Uncle" album. Additions to the printed lyrics are in darker text while omissions are striken out.

There is a place
reserved
for me and my friends
and when we go
we all will go
so you see
I'm never alone
there is a place
with a bit more time
and a few more
gentler words
and looking back
we do will forgive
(we had no choice
we always did)
all that we hope
is that when we go
our skin
and our blood
and our bones
don't get in your way
making you ill
the way they did
when we lived
There is a place
a place in hell
reserved
for me and my friends
and if ever I
just wanted to cry
then I will
because I can

 

Here are the slightly different lyrics for the fast version of the song, as done live on KROQ and on stage in 1991. Changes are indicated from the official lyrics given for the slow version.

There is a place
reserved
for me and my friends
and when we go
we all will go
so you see
I'm never alone
there is a place
with a bit more time
and a few more
gentler words
and looking back
we do I won't forgive
(we had no choice and I never will
we always did) I never will, I never will
all that we hope
is that when we go
our skin
and our blood
and our bones
they don't get in your way
making you ill
the way they did
when we they lived
There is a place
a place in hell
reserved
for me and my friends
and if ever I
just wanted to cry
then I will
because so I can
so I will
There is a place
a place in hell
reserved
for me and my friends
and if ever I
just wanted to cry
then I will
so I can
and I will
