Oh Phoney - Morrissey

OH PHONEY

(Morrissey/Armstrong)

Outtake from Bona Drag sessions

May this lovely letter

reach its destination

if only

Question one is why do you

pretend that you like me?

oh Phoney

See how the outside

contradicts what’s inside

Who can make Hitler

seem like a bus conductor?

you do, oh Phoney

you do

You sing a lovely song to a scale

and the words spell out my name

oh Phoney

But then you kick me down below

cause you know it won’t show

how could you?

See how the outside

contradicts what’s inside

Who can make Hitler

seem like a bus conductor?

you do, oh Phoney

oh Phoney, you do

you do, oh Phoney

oh Phoney, you do

you do, oh Phoney

oh Phoney, you do
