altough i'm clearly a dog

there is always a cat in between

and tell me, how much do you look alike david?

you, so paris

and me, so berlin

"the popular, and heavily romanticised, interpretation of this closeness is that "There is a light that never goes out" is a love song to johnny marr, who regularly ferried the singer around by car. 

asked in 2005 if this was the case, Morrissey stated: "It wasnt and it isnt".

"i never spent much time thinking about that stuff", adds Marr. "it was only after the band split that these theories came out. only Morrissey knows. when we recorded it i wasnt there thinking, "aw, this is about me", or anything. if it is, great. if it's not, then it's still a great song. i'm sure there's worse songs written about me so  it might as well be a good one. but, for the record, i wasnt the only person who used to drive Morrissey around by car, put it that way".
