Reader Meet Author Lyrics - Southpaw Grammar - Morrissey

You don't know a thing about their lives 

They live where you wouldn't dare to drive 

You shake as you think of how they sleep 

But you write as if you all lie side by side 

READER, meet Author 

With the hope of hearing sense 

But you may be feeling let down 

By the words of defence 

He says "No-one ever sees me when I cry" 

You don't know a thing about their lives 

Books don't save them, books aren't Stanley knives 

And if a fight broke out here tonight 

You'd be the first away, because you're that type 

And the year 2000 won't change anyone here 

As each fabled promise flies so fast 

You'll swear it was never there 

Oh, have you ever escaped from a shipwrecked life?

You hear the way their sad voice sings, and you start to imagine things 

Oh, any excuse to write more lies
