Lyrics When Last I Spoke To Carol - Morrissey

When Last I Spoke To Carol

When last I spoke to Carol I said:
«I can’t pretend it gets easier.»
She said:
«I've hung on, I have edged around this narrow ledge since the day I was born
in 1975.»
When last I spoke to Carol I said:
«I can’t pretend I feel love for you.»
She said:
«I've hammered a smile across this pasty face of mine since the day I was born
in 1975.»
When I said goodbye to Carol
Black earth upon the casket fell
She had faded to
Something I always knew
To the rescue
Nobody ever comes
