Morrissey - No One Can Hold a Candle to You lyrics

Say farewell to your fairweathered friends

And not a second too soon

To leave a life among ruins

Well there was nothing left but to

Cut ourselves loose

These fascists and philistines

Of violence and fashion

These modern day philistines

They stand on your hands

They stand on my hands

Any day now we'll perish

These are nervous times

No one can hold a candle to you

When it comes down to virtue and truth

No one can hold a candle to you

And I dim next to you

No one can hold a candle to you

When it comes down to old-fashioned virtue

Kingdom mine

Open your eyes

Make up your mind

Am I Einstein?

Or am I Frankenstein

You said blow them away

To kingdom come

Or will the kingdom be one?

No one can hold a candle to you

When it comes down to virtue and truth

No one, no one can hold a candle to you

And I dim next to you

Hi-ro-shima

Yes yes yes!
