Sweetie Pie Lyrics
Sweetie pie
I've fallen in love.
And the joke is on me.
And the sun's given up.
I'm depending on you,
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart
Is too lost to find.
And will be there to meet you when its your time.
Sweetie pie
I'm ending my life.
Because I've fallen in love.
And nothing is enough.
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart
Is too lost to find.
And will be there to meet you when its your time
Sweetie pie.
How I feel in my mind,
And how I live in he world,
They are oceans apart.
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart
Is too lost to find.
And will be there to meet you when its your time.
I've fallen in love.
And the joke is on me.
And the sun's given up.
I'm depending on you,
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart
Is too lost to find.
And will be there to meet you when its your time.
I'm ending my life.
Because I've fallen in love.
And nothing is enough.
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart
Is too lost to find.
And will be there to meet you when its your time
How I feel in my mind,
And how I live in he world,
They are oceans apart.
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart
Is too lost to find.
And will be there to meet you when its your time.

I don't know quite what to say.. it seems like he is going in a new direction, which isn't altogether bad. Ballad-direction. Although this is only one song. Reminds me of "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday". Which was just one song too.
I don't think it's as simple as a suicide. I think it's about falling in love, and genuinely in love, realizing what an oxymoron it is. As we all know, Morrissey is quite a hermited man, so perhaps falling in love, just so scary because finally, he needs to let his defences down, which aren't in his mind, but out there in the world as a lyric in the final verse shows. I think when he sings "I'm ending my life" I think he means life as he knows it. He's diving into the unknown and he's asking his sweetie pie to be there to meet him, love him.
This song isn't everyones favourite, even among Morrissey fans but I quite like it. Its a bit strange but it gives it a haunted feel, which fits in well with the despairing lyrics. Narrator certainly seems to be verging on suicide
