Morrissey & Kevin Armstrong & Andrew Paresi
The lead single off of Morrissey’s solo debut, Suedehead, was a bigger hit than any of his songs with The Smiths, reaching #5 on the UK charts. The song appears to be about a former lover who’s evolved into something of a pest to the protagonist.
Suedeheads were a subculture in early 1970’s England...
[Verse 1]
Why do you come here?
And why, why do you hang around?
[Chorus 1]
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me?
When you know, oh, why do you come?
[Verse 2]
Why do you telephone?
And why send me silly notes?
[Chorus 1]
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me?
When you know, oh, why do you come?
[Bridge]
You had to sneak into my room, just to read my diary
It was just to see, just to see
All the things you knew I'd written about you
Oh, so many illustrations
[Chorus 2]
Oh, but I'm so very sickened
Oh, I am so sickened now
[Outro]
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay, oh, oh
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay, oh
Oh, it was a good lay, it was a good lay
Oh, a good lay, oh, a good lay
Good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay
