MORRISSEY - The Public Image lyrics

rate me

When I'm dead

It will be read

"Here Lies The Public Image"

5 percent human being

And 95 image

What you see is what you get

And what you get may well be worth seeing

But just be careful when you walk

On those old broken stones

Because they are my feelings

If I smile

Do not be swayed

I simply serve the public image

When all have gone

Just one remains

Thank God for the public image

What you see is what you get

And what you get may well be worth seeing

But just be careful when you walk

On those old broken stones

Because they are my feelings

Scrape beneath

The surface and

You will find more public image

I used to have

A childish dream

Until I had it kicked from me

I tried to pass myself off

As a Human being

But the truth soon exposed me

I had a love and she was very kind

But she was no match for the Public Image

What you see is all there is

And what there is may well be worth seeing

But just be careful what you say

About people like me

Because we don't take it lightly
