The Smiths - This Night Has Opened My Eyes (cover)
This has been the most highly requested cover I’ve seen coming through in the comments.
I’ve put off doing it for ages because I find the lyrical content so extremely emotional and sad, but I felt like it was time I could tackle it, so here it is!
About the song (from Google):
Released: 1984
Album: Hatful of Hollow
Artist: The Smiths
Genres: Alternative/Indie, R&B/Soul, Rock, Folk
Lyrics:
In a river the colour of lead
Immerse the baby’s head
Wrap her up in the “News Of The World“
Dump her on a doorstep, girl
This night has opened my eyes
And I will never sleep again
You kicked and cried like a bullied child
A grown man of 25
Oh, he said he’d cure your ills
But he didn’t and he never will
Oh, save your life
’Because you’ve only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
A shoeless child on a swing
Reminds you of your own again
She took away your troubles
Oh, but then again she left pain
Oh, please save your life
Because you’ve only got one
The dream has gone
But the baby is real
Oh, you did a good thing
She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
Oh, you did a bad thing
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
Oh
Oh
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
Oh
Oh
Oh
And I’m not happy
And I’m not sad
