Once I Saw The River Clean – MorrisseyBy Once I saw the river cleanDistant future, wait for meI grow pleasing to the eyeAnd the cue will cue for meOnce I saw the river cleanSoon the clock will strike for meChildish mind anticipatesGrown-up mind consummatesI walked with my grandmotherDown a windblown Chester RoadWith her fifty-two new penceFor her twenty number-tensAnd my forty-five pence tooDemand metal guruOnce with hearts securely stackedThen we walked all the way backI walked with my grandmotherAlong the groan of Talbot RoadIn the gardens by the gravesI can just about behaveArrogant and paranoidAll around, see fathead youthLook into their brutal eyesBut only if you want the truthOnce I saw the river cleanScratching up the latest schemeTime will come but it hasn’t yetSomeone’s out to get meI walked with my grandmotherCornbread street, we’re incompleteShe would never be againA Dublin dancer, free and young www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
