there is a light When Jon and I were pretty new to each other, I sent him this song, because it's one of my favorite Smiths' songs, and he told me that he would have sent it to me, but was afraid it would seem too morbid...the whole dying thing. With the events of September 11th, and the way Jon and I feel about each other about now, I think it's so perfect that we love this song. One of the things that haunts me about September 11th is the people who called their loved ones when they were on those planes, and trapped in the WTC. I imagine getting a phone call like that from Jon. And the thought kills me, although I would be happy that he called me, but still...that thought kills me. I'd rather die with him than without him. This song always killed me, for years before I knew Jon even existed, and it kills me even more now. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out Lyrics by Stephen Morrissey Music by Johnny Marr Take me out tonight Where there's music and there's people And they're 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 life 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 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, da ... Oh, I haven't got one 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 Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out You are my light, Jon, and you'll never go out.
