Still Ill Lyrics - Hatful Of Hollow - The Smiths

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 dunno 

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-oh-oh 

Am I still ill? 

Oh-oh-oh-oh 

Does the body rule the mind 

Or does the mind rule the body? 

I dunno 

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-oh-oh 

Am I still ill? 

Oh-oh-oh-oh
