"Never Had No One Ever"
(Morrissey/Marr)

 

These lyrics are transcribed in light blue as they appear in the "The Queen Is Dead" album and are reproduced here without permission. Variations between the printed lyrics and what is sung by Morrissey are indicated in darker text for additions and omissions are deleted.

When you walk without ease
on these
the very streets where you were raised 1
I had a really bad dream
it lasted 20 years, 7 months, and 27 days
alone I'm alone and I never
Never had no one ever.

Now I'm outside your house
I'm alone
and I'm outside your house
I'd hate to intrude
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
and I never, never, had no one ever
I never had no one ever
I never had no
no one ever
had no one ever
never, no

 

1 In live performances of this song, Morrissey actually often sang this line as "On these, the streets where you were raised".
