There Is a Light That Never Goes Out Lyrics

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive

Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see light

Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me 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 privilege 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
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
I haven't got one
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

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, so what
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Oh, 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
There is a light, never goes out
There is a light, never goes out
There is a light, never goes out

Cover art for There Is a Light That Never Goes Out lyrics by Morrissey

I can't believe no one has commented on this amazing song!

Morrissy has a tendency to hide meanings in songs and some of his songs are hard to find the meaning behind so I am going to give my view on what it means to me:

To me this song is about being in love with someone you can't have and it gives you a scared feeling when your around them, you prepared to do anything for them even dying wouldnt be so bad if they where there, in fact it would be a honour.

The bit about "I don't ever want to go because I haven't got one" I think that is where the person singing this song has told their parents their LGBTQ and the parents have ben unaccepting of it.

And the chorous "there is a light and it never goes out" I think is saying that their is a hope that the person will love you back despite yu knowing that they never will.

there are other things it could mean but the themes are: .Unrequited love .Suicide .Depression .hope
