about

This song is really a first stab at the type of autobiographical writing that would later be featured on Specks. The idea seemed ridiculous at the time--what if I wrote a song about myself and titled it with my name? And why hasn't anyone done this before? Certainly some of Morrissey's songs--so self-centered--could be titled "Morrissey".

So, this song was originally titled "Erik Sanden" but would eventually receive its sillier, more "metal" name "Enter Sanden" from Emilio and Diego Navaira.

lyrics

"used to be a sweet sweet boy
holding onto daddy’s hand”*
but he lost his grip, let it slip
sing you my life

little blond boy
why you gotta lie again?
little blond boy
you’re in love with it
in love with it

alternate universe
not restless not worse
not sad anymore
it’s not me i said

it’s not me i said
why you gotta plague me so?
little blond boy
you’re in love with it
but you never let it go

it’s not me i said
it’s not me i

*Morrissey “Used to be a Sweet Boy”
