Used To Be A Sweet Boy Lyrics
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 ...
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
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.
This song has become doubly meaningful to me because when I first heard it I was a wayward son. Now I am listening as a father whose son has gone astray. I often contemplate what went wrong, and to what extent I am to blame.

"Is this song about Morrissey himself"
I believe it's one of his most personal songs, adressing his own strained relationship with his father.
A song about everyone. As a youth, you had so much promise. Then you became an adult and did things you never thought you would. Dad, get me out of this.
Makes me worry about my baby :'(
I hope he does well. I'll do my best, he means everything to me.
