Johnny Marr - The Night Has Opened My Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1] In a river the colour of lead Immerse a baby's head Wrap her up in the News Of The World Dump her on a doorstep, girl This night has opened my eyes And I will never sleep again You kicked and cried like a bullied child A grown man of twenty five He said he'd cure your ills But he didn't and he never will So, save your life Because you've only got one [Chorus] The dream has gone But the baby is real Oh you did a good thing She could have been a poet Or, she could have been a fool Oh you did a bad thing And I'm not happy And I'm not sad [Verse 2] A shoeless child on a swing Reminds you of your own again She took away your troubles Oh but then again she left pain So please save your life Because you've only got one [Chorus] The dream has gone But the baby is real Oh you did a good thing She could have been a poet Or, she could have been a fool Oh you did a bad thing And I'm not happy And I'm not sad
