Sweet and Tender Hooligan (BBC Version; 2008 Remaster)

Sweet And Tender Hooligan - The Smiths

He was a sweet
And tender hooligan hooligan

And he said that he'd never
Never do it again
And of course he won't

(oh not until the next time)

He was a sweet and tender
Hooligan hooligan

And he swore
That he'll never never do it again
And of course he won't

(oh not until the next time)

Poor old man

He had an "accident"
With a three-bar fire

But that's OK

Because he wasn't
Very happy anyway

Poor woman

Strangled in her very
Own bed as she read
But that's OK

Because she was old
And she would have died anyway

DON'T BLAME
The sweet and tender hooligan

Hooligan

Because he'll never never
Never never never
Never do it again

(not until the next time)

Jury you've heard every word
So before you decide
Would you look
Into those "Mother me" eyes
I love you for you my love
You my love
You my love you my love

Jury you've heard every word
But before you decide
Would you look into
Those "Mother me" eyes
I love you for you my love
You my love
I love you just for you my love

Don't blame
The sweet and tender hooligan

Hooligan

Because he'll never
Never do it again

And
"In the midst of life
We are in death ETC "

Don't forget the hooligan

Hooligan

Because he'll never
Never do it again

And
"In the midst of life
We are in death ETC "

ETC ETC ETC ETC

In the midst of life
We are in death ETC

ETC ETC ETC ETC

In the midst of life
We are in death ETC

Just will you free me

Free me free me
Free me free me

Jury will you free me
