The Last Of The Famous International Playboys - Morrissey

The Last Of The Famous International Playboys - Morrissey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear hero imprisoned
With all the new crimes that you are perfecting
Oh, I can't help quoting you
Because everything that you said rings true

And now in my cell (well, I followed you)
And here's a list of who I slew
Reggie Kray - do you know my name?
Oh, don't say you don't
Please say you do, (oh, oh)
I am

[Chorus]
The last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys

[Verse 2]
And in my cell (well, I loved you)
And every man with a job to do
Ronnie Kray - do you know my face?
Oh, don't say you don't
Please say you do, (oh, oh)
I am

[Chorus]
The last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys

[Verse 3]
In our lifetime those who kill
The news world hands them stardom
And these are the ways
On which I was raised
These are the ways
On which I was, which I was raised
I never wanted to kill
I am not naturally evil
Such things I do
Just to make myself
More attractive to you
Have I failed?

Oh...
Oooh, oooh, yeaah, nooo, nooo (pa ramp-amp-amp)
Nooo, nooo, yeaah, yeaah, nooo (pa ramp-amp-amp)
Nooo, nooo, yeaah, nooo, yeaah (pa ramp-amp-amp)
Nooo, nooo, yeaah, nooo, yeaah
Oooh

[Chorus]
The last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys
