There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their home
And I’m welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought, “Oh God, my chance has come at last”
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn’t ask

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one, la-di-dum
Oh, I haven’t got one
Oh, oh

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side

Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
-Written by Johnny Marr & Steven Morrissey

Thinking about this song the other day as it is briefly featured in one of my favorite movies of all-time (500) DAYS OF SUMMER. You should clearly watch it, if you haven’t. Also, this is a great song, even if the lyrics are maybe a bit morbid.

But Thursdays are for flowers. This flowertography session is from my yard.
