Smiths - Suffer Little Children (Tate) lyrics

rate me

Over the moor, take me to the moor <br />

Dig a shallow grave <br />

And I'll lay me down <br />

<br />

Over the moor, take me to the moor <br />

Dig a shallow grave <br />

And I'll lay me down <br />

<br />

<br />

Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads <br />

Oh John, you'll never be a man <br />

You'll never see your home again <br />

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for <br />

<br />

<br />

Edward, see those alluring lights ? <br />

Tonight will be your very last night <br />

<br />

<br />

A woman said : "I know my son is dead <br />

I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head"<br />

<br />

<br />

Hindley wakes and Hindley says : <br />

Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : <br />

"Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone"<br />

<br />

<br />

But fresh lilaced moorland fields <br />

Cannot hide the stolid stench of death <br />

But fresh lilaced moorland fields <br />

Cannot hide the stolid stench of death <br />

<br />

<br />

Hindley wakes and says : <br />

Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : <br />

"Oh, whatever he has done, I have done"<br />

<br />

<br />

But this is no easy ride <br />

For a child cries : <br />

<br />

<br />

"Find me ... find me, nothing more <br />

We are on a sullen misty moor <br />

We may be dead and we may be gone <br />

But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side <br />

Until the day you die <br />

This is no easy ride <br />

We will haunt you when you laugh <br />

Yes, you could say we're a team <br />

You might sleep <br />

You might sleep <br />

You might sleep <br />

BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! <br />

Oh, you might sleep <br />

BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! <br />

You might sleep <br />

BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! <br />

<br />

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for <br />

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for <br />

<br />

Oh, find me, find me ! <br />

Find me ! <br />

I'll haunt you when you laugh <br />

Oh, I'll haunt you when you laugh <br />

You might sleep <br />

BUT YOU WILL ... <br />

Oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

Over the moors, I'm on the moors <br />

Oh, over the moors <br />

Oh, the child is on the moors
