Thats How People Grow Up Lyrics

Cover art for Thats How People Grow Up lyrics by Morrissey

I was driving my car, I crashed and broke my spine, So yes, there are things worse in life than never being some-one's sweetie.

Morrissey is self mocking his classic Smiths song There Is A Light, mocking the romanticism in getting killed by the double decker bus and the ten tonne truck by now 23 years on making the car crash practical and mundane rather than escapist and beautiful. This song is him really severing some of the imagery and ideas he had perpetrated in his youth.
