Sweet And Tender Hooligan Lyrics - Louder Than Bombs - The Smiths

H was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan 

He said that he'd never, never do it again 

And of course he won't, oh, not until the next time 

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan 

And he swore that he'll never, never do it again 

And of course he won't, oh, not until the next time 

Poor old man, he had an accident with a three-bar fire 

But that's okay, because he wasn't very happy anyway 

A poor woman, strangled in her very own bed as she read 

But that's okay, 'cause she was old 

And she would have died anyway 

Don't blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan 

Because he'll never, never, never, never 

Never, never do it again, not until the next time 

Jury, you've heard every word, so before you decide 

Would you look into those motherly eyes? 

I love you for you, my love, you, my love 

You, my love, you, my love 

Jury, you've heard every word, but before you decide 

Would you look into those motherly eyes? 

I love you for you, my love, you, my love 

I love you just for you, my love 

Don't blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan 

Because he'll never, never do it again 

And in the midst of life we are in death, etc. 

Don't forget the hooligan, hooligan 

Because he'll never, never do it again 

And in the midst of life we are in death, etc. 

Etc., etc., etc., etc. 

In the midst of life we are in death, etc. 

Etc., etc., etc., etc. 

In the midst of life we are in debt, etc. 

Just will you free me? Will you find me? 

Will you free me? Will you find me? 

Will you free me, free me, free me 

Free me, free me, free me? 

Jury will you free me? Will you find me? 

Will you free me? Will you find me? 

How will you find me, find me, find me 

Find me, find me, find me, find me? 

Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. 

Etc., etc., etc., etc. 

In the midst of life we are in debt, etc. 

Oh, oh
