Years of Refusal lyrics

See Morrissey's lyrics to Years of Refusal below. Uniquely Morrissey... who else could pen songs like All You Need Is Me and Its Not Your Birthday Anymore and get away with it?

Each one continues the familiar Morrissey themes and subject matter with his waspish wit, cynicism and humour sprinkled liberally throughout.

In a nutshell... he's done it again!

Black Cloud

The one I love
is standing near

the one I love
is everywhere
I can woo you
I can amuse you
but there is nothing I can do to make you mine
black cloud, black cloud
The one I love
roosts in the mind
can snap this spell
or, increase hell
I can chase you
and I can catch you
but there is nothing I can do to make you mine
black cloud, black cloud
oh, black cloud
oh, black cloud
I play the game of Favorites now
I can I must I will I do
I can please you
or, I can freeze you out
but there is nothing I can do to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud, black cloud
I can choke myself to please you
and I can sink much lower than usual
but there’s nothing I can do
to make you mine
