Track: All You Need Is Me

Lyrics
You hiss and groan
And you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away
And that's because all you need is me.

You roll your eyes
Up to the skies
Mock horrified
But you're still here
All you need is me

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is complain about me

You bang your head against the wall
And say you're sick of it all
Yet, you remain
'Cause all you need is me

And then you offer your one and only joke
And ask me "What will I be,
When I grow up to be a man"?

Me? Nothing!

There's a soft voice
Singing in your head
Who can this be?
I do believe it's me

There's a naked man standing
Laughing in your dreams
You know who it is
But you don't like what it means

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is complain about me

I was a small fat child in a welfare house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
Fate has just handed it to me

Whoopee!

You don't like me but you love me,
Either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You don't like me but you love me,
Either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

PrettyPettyThief discusses the meanings of All You Need Is Me lyrics: This has got to be about the media's love/hate relationship with Morrissey and especially the NME. It's such a witty and observant slight on his critics (and maybe some of his fans) who can't decide whether to build him up or knock him down. I love the section: There's a soft voice singing in your head Who could this be? I do believe it's me Can't you just imagine one of those
