Lyrics of Still Ill by The Smiths
verse
I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine, it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams
verse
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I don't know
chorus
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill?
Oh...
Oh, am I still ill?
Oh...
verse
Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I don't know
verse
Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die
And if you must, go to work tomorrow
Well, if I were you I really wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them
But not very often
chorus
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill?
Oh...
Oh, am I still ill?
Oh...
Writer(s): Steven Patrick Morrissey, Johnny Marr
