first line from a smiths song

William, it was really nothing
when we slowdanced thru space

I honestly tried
my hardest not to hurt you

but your ironed your suit
while wearing it
so you wouldn't be late

and the lace on my sleeves
couldn't take it and mouldered

when you ran into the center of the ballroom
where everyone crowded around you

but kept their distance watching you almost slip
catching yourself on the gleaming floor

I stamped my feet and rattled my eyes
at the heavens in frustration

Why did you do this
Why did you make me do this

It was all leather, really
and I tried to hold the form
clamped in my jaws

but it was boiling, William,
boiling away

Is that all you have to say
about it?
