A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours

RUSH AND PUSH AND THE LAND IS OURS 
(Morrissey and Marr)

OH HELLO
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe 
hung by his pretty white neck 
some eighteen months ago 
I travelled to a mystical time zone 
and I missed my bed 
and I soon came home 
they said: 
"there's too much caffeine 
in your bloodstream 
and a lack of real spice 
in your life" 
I said: 
"leave me alone 
because I'm alright, dad 
surprised to still 
be on my own.…"

Ooh, but don't mention love 
I'd hate the strain of the pain again 
a rush and a push and the land 
that we stand on is ours 
it has been before 
so it shall be again 
and people who are uglier than you and I 
they take what they need, and just leave 

Ooh, but don't mention love 
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again 
a rush and a push and the land 
that we stand on is ours 
it has been before 
so why can't it be now? 
and people who are weaker than you and I 
they take what they want from life 

Ooh, but don't mention love 
no, no - don't mention love!
a rush and a push and the land 
that we stand on is ours 
your youth may be gone 
but you're still a young man 
so phone me, phone me, phone me 
so phone me, phone me, phone me 
Ooh, I think I'm in love 
Ooh, I think I'm in love 
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv
