My secret's my enzyme.
I Love you
It's murder
I am two people
One you know - but don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
I am two people
One you know - but don't like
The other one
you don't know
But you don't want to
I love you
It's pointless
Oh my soul
If I live or I die this night
I am two people
One you know - but don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
I have two faces
One of which you know
The other one for your sake
I never would show
It's just because I love you
I cannot bear to be around you
And if only one or the other
Of us would drop down dead
You know how I'm real big into the whole hermetic androgyne thing? Two people as one, soul mates, linked through a cosmic breeze, Romulus and Remus and a gentle power struggle to declare who's going to be on top, blah, blah, blah? I found a fascinating passage in chapter 15 of Mark Booth's ginormous tome The Secret History of the World that kinda spot on explains this song. Or at least perhaps hints to the cosmic fabric that Morrissey was maybe touching when he wrote this song for the non-believers out there.
The interesting thing that Morrissey has figured out is that his twin is Sheila and the girl least likely to. She frustrates him and he wants either she or himself to drop dead...until there is an awareness that she is real and they are allowed to embrace. Until that time he struggles being her and himself at the same time in one body, the whole Pistis Sophia curse of 'ye became one and the same being' can be a drag for a boy who feels like a flipping girl half the time.
It's just a theory.

The secret tradition sometimes has a propensity to see how things are with a childlike simplicity.
The two Gospels with infancy narratives, Luke and Matthew, give very different, indeed inconsistant, accounts, starting with the different genealogies ascribed to Jesus, the time and place of births, and the visit by the shepards in Luke and by the Magi in Matthew. This is a distinction rigidly maintained in the art of the Middle Ages that has since been lost. While it may be glossed over in church, academic theologians accept that, were these accounts conflict, at least one must be false - perhaps and uncomfortable conclusion for anyone believing that the scripture is divinely inspired.
Except that in the secret tradtion, on the other hand, there is no problem, because these two narratives describe the infancies of two Jesus children. These boys had a mysterious kinship. They were not twins, though they looked almost identical.
In the Gnostic text the Pistis Sophia, contemporary with the canonical books of the New Testament - and considered by some scholars to have equal claim to authenticity - there is a strange story concerning these two children.
Mary sees a boy who looks so exactly like him that she naturally takes him to be her son. But then this boy disconcerts her by asking to see her son, Jesus. Fearing that this must be some sort of demon, she ties the boy to the bed, then goes into the fields looking for Joseph and Jesus. She finds them erecting vine poles. The three of them go back to the house. The boys gaze at each other, amazed, and embrace.
The secret tradition that traces the subtle, complex process by which human form and human consciousness was put together, has a parallel in its tracing of the extremely complex process by which the incarnation of the Word was brought about. In this account it was necessary for one of the two Jesus children, who carried the spirit of Krishna, to sacrifice his individual identity in some mysterious way for the sake of the other. THe spiritual economy of the cosmos required him to do this, so that the boy who survived would in time be ready to recieve the Christ-spirit at the Baptism. As the Pistis Sophia says, 'ye became one and the same being'.
This tradition of the two Jesus children was maintained by the secret societies and can be seen on the north portal at Chartes, in the apse mosaic of San Miniato outside Florence and in the paintings of many initiates, including Borgonone, Raphael, Leonardo and Veronese.
