The Ordinary Boys
Morrissey / Stephen Street
Ordinary boys
Happy knowing nothing
Happy being no-one
But themselves
Ordinary girls
Supermarket clothes
Who think it's very clever
To be cruel to you
For you were so different
You stood all alone
And you knew
That it had to be so
Avoiding
Ordinary boys
Happy going nowhere
Just around here
In their rattling cars
Ordinary girls
Never seeing further
Than the cold, small streets
That trap them
But you were so different
You had to say no
When those empty fools
Tried to change you, and claim you
For the lair of their ordinary world
Where they feel so lucky
So lucky, so lucky
With their lives laid out before them
They are lucky
So lucky, so lucky
So lucky
