staircase at the university

Morrissey

March, April, May
She crammed night and day
I hadn't seen her smile in awhile

March, April, May
She crammed night and day
I hadn't seen her smile in awhile

Staircase at the university
She threw herself down
And her head split three ways

If you don't get three A's
Her sweet daddy said
You're no child of mine
And as far as I'm concerned, you're dead
"If you don't get three A's"
Her sweet daddy said
"You're no child of mine
And as far as I'm concerned, you're dead"

Staircase at the university
She threw herself down
And her head split three ways

"If you don't get three A's"
Her lovely boyfriend said
"Your shame is sure
To stain the family name"
"If you don't get three A's"
Her lovely boyfriend said
"You're shame is sure
To stain the family name"

Staircase at the university
She threw herself down
And her head split three ways

Ramming, jamming
Pack em? in, ramming
Chock-a-block
Power study, polish up
If it breaks your heart
Then don't come running to me

Ramming, jamming
Pack em? in, ramming
Chock-a-block
Power study, polish up
If if breaks your legs
Then don't come running to me
