Lyrics - East West by Morrissey

(
Graham
Gouldman)
East
West
Over the ocean
Perpetual
Motion
Traveling around
No rest, singing and playing
Night out and day in
Doing the rounds
What a great life this must seem!
Swelled joints
Everything classy
Nothing is tacky
Only the best!
Lush girls, older and dying
Sighing and crying
This is success!
What a good life this must seem!
But when
I hear your voice
Singing out
The
Bells
Of
Hope
Are ringing out
And
I feel all alone(
And
I think of my home)
Cold times
A wind through the houses
The bleakness arouses
A longing to leave
Time flew
I wanted to see you
Somehow
I could not do
Because of success
What a strange life this can be!
But when
I hear your voicesinging out
The
Bells
Of
Home
Are ringing out
And
I feel all alone(
And
I think of my home)
