When Last I Spoke To Carol
Words by Morrissey, Music by Alain Whyte

When last I spoke to Carol I said:
"I can't pretend it gets easier"
she said: "I've hung on, I have edged
along this narrow ledge
since the day I was born in 1975"
When last I spoke to Carol I said:
"I can't pretend I feel love for you"
she said: "I've hammered a smile
across this pasty face of mine
since the day I was born in 1975"
When I said goodbye to Carol
black earth upon the casket fell
she had faded to
something I always knew
to the rescue nobody ever comes
