作词 : Marr, Morrissey

I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine it owes me a living

But ask me why  and I'll spit in your eye

Oh  ask me why  and I'll spit in your eye

But we cannot cling

To the old dreams anymore

No  we cannot cling to those dreams

Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body
I don′t know

Under the iron bridge we kissed

And although I ended up with sore lips

It just wasn't like the old days anymore

No  it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill

Oh
Am I still ill Oh

Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body
I don′t know

Ask me why  and I'll die

Oh  ask me why  and I'll die

And if you must  go to work  tomorrow

Well  if I were you I wouldn't bother

For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know  because I've seen them
But not very often

Under the iron bridge we kissed

And although I ended up with sore lips

It just wasn't like the old days anymore

No  it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill

Oh

Oh  am I still ill

Oh
