The Last Of The Famous International Playboys - Morrissey

Dear hero imprisoned

with all the new crimes that you are perfecting

oh I can’t help quoting you

because everything that you said rings true

and now in my cell

(well, I followed you)

and here’s a list of who I slew

Roger Kray — do you know my name?

don’t say you don’t

please say you do, I am:

the last of the famous

international playboys

the last of the famous

international playboys

and now in my cell

(well, I loved you)

every man with a job to do Ronnie Kray — do you know my face?

don’t say you don’t

please say you do, I am:

the last of the famous

international playboys

the last of the famous

international playboys

In our lifetime those who kill

the newsworld hands them stardom

and these are the ways

on which I was raised

these are the ways

on which I was raised

but I never wanted to kill

I’M NOT NATURALLY EVIL

such things I do just to make myself

more attractive to you

HAVE I FAILED?
