Silence in the rooftops of my eye lids
Where there's nothing but silence
In an ideal world am I perfect?
Am I perfect?
That feeling when you're so alone
That feeling when you're on your own
My chest tight, my chest tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight, just hold tight
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
But I see, but I see
Is it me?
Ohh
Silence in the attics of my eyelids
Where there's nothing but silence
When I'm older will I be perfect?
Am I perfect?
My chest tight, my chest tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight, just hold tight
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
But I see, but I see
Is it me?
Ohh
Where there's nothing but silence
In an ideal world am I perfect?
Am I perfect?
That feeling when you're so alone
That feeling when you're on your own
My chest tight, my chest tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight, just hold tight
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
But I see, but I see
Is it me?
Ohh
Silence in the attics of my eyelids
Where there's nothing but silence
When I'm older will I be perfect?
Am I perfect?
My chest tight, my chest tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight
Just hold tight, just hold tight, just hold tight
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
But I see, but I see
Is it me?
Ohh

Well, seems to me like a lot of the entertainment industry of that era knew to at least some degree of Savile's behaviour, be it through rumours, or something more concrete.
Jimmy Savile was a resident DJ in at least one Manchester club for awhile so maybe thats how Morrissey knew. My guess though is he probably heard one or two things from other folk in the music industry back at the time, maybe even through JP when doing Peel sessions, not that JP is on a pedestal nowadays either, but maybe somebody like JP mentioned it.
The band Half Man Half Biscuit were alluding to his behaviour back in 1985 with the track 'I left my heart in Papworth General' (go look it up its on Youtube), and then you've got Mark Lamarr and others on the music panel show 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' referencing it numerous times, pretty much a decade ago.
Many people knew for a long time it seems. Many folk tried to speak out, but were silenced or ignored it seems. To me this looks like Morrissey putting it out there indirectly without finding himself subject to being sued and potentially something more sinister happening, bearing in mind those that Savile associated with.
