Oh Well, I'll Never Learn Lyrics
Looking up at the sign
It said: "PLEASE KEEP AWAY"
And so in I ran
You see ...
I'll never learn
Oh, I'll never learn
I'll never learn
Chapter one again
Here I go again
I found a fountain of youth
And I fell in
How could I ever win ?
I'll never learn
I'll never learn
I'll never learn
Why should I mind ?
Why should I care ?
I'll never learn
I'll never learn
It said: "PLEASE KEEP AWAY"
And so in I ran
You see ...
Oh, I'll never learn
I'll never learn
Here I go again
I found a fountain of youth
And I fell in
How could I ever win ?
I'll never learn
Why should I mind ?
Why should I care ?
I'll never learn
I'll never learn

In the end what does it matter anyway? I guess that is what I get from this song. You learn, or didn't... same difference, so just jump in...
This song is absolutely beautiful/haunting. I guess this song is about pushing boundaries and purposely not learning from your mistakes...because it makes life more interesting.
The protagonist feels that whatever happens in their life, be it good or bad, is a total accident.
I absolutely adore this song.
"I found a fountain of youth And I fell in"
This line kills me. It insinuates a character (likely Morrissey) that accidentally found eternal youth and seems somewhat sullen about it. This sentiment is actually echoed by a later song: In The Future When All's Well
"Living longer than I had intended Something must have gone...right!"
