(Lynn Ripley)
These words are transcribed without permission the way they appear in the "Louder Than Bombs" album. Additions to the printed lyrics are in darker text while omissions are striken out.
Golden lights displaying your name
golden lights it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
WHY DID YOU CHANGE?
Boy in a million, idol, a big star
I didn't tell you how great you were are
I didn't grovel or and scream
Or And rip your brand new jacket at the seams
You made a record, they liked your singing
All of a sudden my phone stopped stops ringing
I never thought that you would let
The glory make you forget
Golden lights displaying your name
golden lights it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
WHY DID YOU CHANGE?
Top ten idol, king of your age
but who do you turn to when you're backstage?
Don't you remember you once knew a girl
Who loved you You loved her more than the world
Is life always like this, brother
Good for some but bad for the other
Good for one side but not for another
I must put you behind me tonight
'Cause you belong to the lights
Those Golden lights displaying your name
golden lights it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
WHY DID YOU CHANGE?
oh oh my darling
WHY DID YOU CHANGE?
These lyrics are transcribed in light blue as they were sung on the original version of the song by Twinkle. Variations between these and what is sung by Morrissey are indicated in darker text for additions and omissions are deleted.
Golden lights displaying your name
golden lights a whole lot of fame it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
why did you change?
Boy in a million, idol, a big star
I didn't tell you how great you are
I didn't grovel and scream
and rip your brand new jacket at the seams
You made a record, they liked your singing
All of a sudden my phone stopped the phone stops ringing
I never thought that you would let
The glory make you forget
Golden lights displaying your name
golden lights a whole lot of fame it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
why did you change?
Top ten idol, king of your age
who do you think of when you're offstage
who do you turn to when you're backstage?
Do you remember you once found a girl
Don't you remember you once knew a girl
You loved her more than the world
Is life always like this, brother
Good for one side, bad but not for another
I must put you behind me tonight
'Cause you belong to the lights
Those golden lights displaying your name
golden lights a whole lot of fame it's a terrible shame
but oh my darling
why did you change?
oh, oh my darling
why did you change?
