A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours
(morrissey/marr)
HELLO
i am the ghost of troubled Joe
hung by his pretty white neck 
some eighteen months ago
but i missed my bed
so i soon came home
they said:
"there's too much caffeine in your blood stream
and a lack of real spice
in your life."
I said:
"leave me alone
because i'm alright, dad
just surprised to still 
be on my own..."
ooh, but don't mention love
i'd hate the strain and the pain again
a rush and a push and the land that
we stand on is ours
it has been before
so it shall be again
and people who are uglier than you and i
they take what they need, and leave
ooh, but don't mention love
i'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
a rush and a push and the land that
we stand on is ours
it has been before
so why can't it be now?
and people who are weaker than you and i
they take what they want from life
ooh, but don't mention love
no - just don't mention love !
a rush and a push and the land that 
we stand on is ours
your youth may be gone
so phone me, phone me, phone me
so phone me, phone me, phone me
ooh, i think i'm in love
ooh, i think i'm in love
ooh, i think i'm in love
urrgh, i think i'm in lerv
