There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (The Smiths cover) Lyrics
take me out tonight
well there's people and there's music and the young and life
and driving in your car
oh please don't drop me home
because I haven't got one anymore
take me out tonight
oh take me anywhere
I don't care I don't care I dont care
driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because it's not my home it's their home and I'm welcome no more
and if a double decker bus
crashes into us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
well the pleasure, the privilage is mine
take me out tonight
oh take me anywhere
I don't care I don't care I don't care
and in the darkened underpass I thought oh god my chance has come at last
and then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldnt ask
and if a double decker bus,
crashes into us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
well the pleasure, the privilage is mine
there is a light, never goes out
there is a light, never goes out
there is a light, never goes out
there is a light, never goes out
never goes out..
well there's people and there's music and the young and life
oh please don't drop me home
because I haven't got one anymore
oh take me anywhere
I don't care I don't care I dont care
I never never want to go home
because it's not my home it's their home and I'm welcome no more
crashes into us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
kills the both of us
to die by your side
well the pleasure, the privilage is mine
oh take me anywhere
I don't care I don't care I don't care
and then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldnt ask
crashes into us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
kills the both of us
to die by your side
well the pleasure, the privilage is mine
there is a light, never goes out
there is a light, never goes out
there is a light, never goes out
there is a light, never goes out
never goes out..

so beautiful, I think the meanings pretty clear, a misplaced guy falls in love with a girl and she means everything to him, things are heavenly to him when he's with her. I think that when he says that there is a light that never goes out, he's saying that in life or death, he'll always love her.

P.S. this is a smiths cover

This is an awesome cover!
He did a good cover of Augie March's One Crowded Hour too.
