Used to be a sweet boy
Holding so tightly
To Daddy's hand
But that was all
In some distant land
Blazer and tie
And a big bright healthy smile
Used to make all
Of our trials worthwhile

Used to be a sweet boy
And I'm not to blame
But something went wrong
Something went wrong
And I know
I'm not to blame
Something went wrong
Can't be to blame
Ah

    This is a hidden gem on Vauxhall and I. A beautiful tune. Is this song about Morrissey himself... As a parent whose children have gone a stray in life this song will mean a lot. The early pride in your son - his promise, an d then it all to go wrong... is it his or your fault. powerful.
