In The Future When All's Well Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Linus 

Cover art for In The Future When All's Well lyrics by Morrissey

Living longer than I had intended, Something must have gone right.

I believe only Morrissey can write such songs. You go on and associate it with some sort of memory or feeling and everytime you listen to it, it invokes this song and vice versa. Today's pessimistic individual needs Morrissey to vocalise him.

I find the restlessness a strong feature of our generation, hence the ending is very symbolic to me:

"The future is ended by the long, long sleep."
