"Yes, I Am Blind"
(Morrissey/Andy Rourke)

 

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

Yes, I am blind
no, I can't see
the good things
just the bad things
Yes, I am blind
no, I can't see
there must be something
horribly wrong with me?
God come down 1
if you're really there
well you're the one
who claims to care

Love's young dream
I'm the one who shopped you
I'm the one who stopped you
'cause in my sorry way I love you
Love's young dream
aren't you sorry
for what you've done?
well, you're not the only one
and in my sorry way I love you
Yes, I am blind
but I do see
Evil people prosper
over the likes of you and me
ALWAYS
God come down 1
if you're really there
well you're the one
who claims to care

Little lamb
on a hill
run fast if you can 2
good Christians
they want to KILL you
and your life has not even begun!
you're just like me
just like me
oh, your life has not even begun
you're just like me
just like me
and your life has not even begun
you're just like me
just like me
and your life has not even begun
you're just like me
just like, just like me
and your life has not even begun

1 This line and the following three ones, absent from the lyrics booklet, were not sung when Morrissey performed this song live. Instead the song stopped and restarted.

2 When this song was done live on the 1991 Kill Uncle tour, Morrissey sang this line as "Little lamb on a hill, run fast if you will".
