Art-Hounds - Morrissey

Art-hounds look like nothing

So Art-hounds write something 
And those that do are judged by those 
Who tried and found they couldn't do

Art-hounds see the Greek ideal 
And gaze on what they'll never feel 
Oh, the pitiless revenge of those without friends 
The pitiless, the pitiless revenge

Art-hounds know what's around 
Because they've seen it somewhere written down 
And everything they've seen on the moving screen 
Helps them fill up the page

In European museums 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
In European museums 
Will I see you?

My life is opera 
My life is opera 
My life is opera 
My life is opera

Art-hounds in a restaurant 
They bring along their loving Aunt 
But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mable 
They stamp their feet and cry

Art-hounds in a restaurant 
They bring along their loving Aunt 
But when they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mable 
They stamp their feet and cry

In European hushed museums 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
In European hushed museums 
Will I see you?

My life is opera 
My life is opera 
My life is opera 
My life is... 

Art-hounds: very funny, very witty, but very lonely 
And below the belt is shriveled and small 
It functions only as a word 
Art-hounds: very funny, very witty, but very lonely 
And below the belt is shriveled and small 
It knows a thousand woes

In European hushed museums 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
Will I see you? 
In European hushed museums 
Will I see you?

If you cannot stand this fake world 
If you cannot stand this fake world 
Take my hand 
If you cannot stand this fake world

If you cannot stand this fake world 
If you cannot stand this fake world 
Take my hand 
If you cannot stand this fake world

I take 16 pills to send me to sleep 
And 16 pills to shake me awake

What does it mean? 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean?
