I Am Two People Lyrics
I love you
It's murder
I am two people
One you know
But don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
I am two people
One you know
But don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
I love you
It's pointless
In my soul
If I live or die
This life
I am two people
One you know
But don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
I have two faces
One of which you know
The other one
For your sake
I never would show
It's just because I love you
I cannot bear to be around you
And if only one or the other
Of us would drop down dead
I am, I am...
It's murder
One you know
But don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
One you know
But don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
It's pointless
In my soul
If I live or die
This life
One you know
But don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
One of which you know
The other one
For your sake
I never would show
I cannot bear to be around you
And if only one or the other
Of us would drop down dead

As Morrissey is a total Gemini this song makes alot of sense - the duality of his nature (which we can all relate to I'm sure) is addressed - his public persona that he has crafted and then the secret soul that probably few people have ever met. He is also alluding to The Jekyl and Hyde in all of us - the end-all excuse for one's bad behavior -- an inexplicable part of our soul that enables us to do things that sabotage our loves, friendships and lives - probably rooted in a certain nihilistic inevitably that nothing really matters in this small moment in the grand scheme of eternity.
I was thinking about how addicts have two personalities: the sober one and the drunk or high one. Morrissey is a renowned music addict. Maybe it causes him to be two people. This song is really cool and so is Moz. I won't hold his addiction and personality split against him. :)
