Still Ill (John Peel Session 14/09/83) The Smiths

[Verse 1]
I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine, and it owes me a living
Ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
Oh ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams

[Refrain]
Does the body rule the mind?
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno

[Chorus]
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill?
Ohh-oh-oh
Oh, am I still ill?
Ohh-oh-oh

[Refrain]
Does the body rule the mind?
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno
