"We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful"
(Morrissey/Alain Whyte)

 

This song is only available on the "Your Arsenal" album which doesn't include lyrics. They are transcribed here without permission, as they are heard.

We hate it when our friends become successful
we hate it when our friends become successful
oh, look at those clothes
Now look at that face, it's so old
and such a video
well, it's really laughable
We hate it when our friends become successful
and if they're Northern, that makes it even worse
and if we can destroy them
you bet your life we will
destroy them
if we can hurt them
well, we may as well...
it's really laughable
you see, it should've been me
it could've been me
everybody knows
everybody said so
they say:
"Ah, you have loads of songs
so many songs
more songs than they can stand
verse
chorus
middle-eight
break, fade
just listen..."
