Information

From Uncut Magazine , August 1998:

"Morrissey had this song, 'I Keep Mine Hidden' which was basically Morrissey saying, 'I'm sorry Johnny, I'm a complete f*** up but please forgive me,'" reveals Grant Showbiz. "With lots of specific references, it was a very direct song."


Also released as a live version by Morrissey on the Something Is Squeezing My Skull 7" vinyl single (Polydor/Decca 4781877).

Lyrics

Hate, love, and war Force emotions to the fore But not for me Of course, of course I keep mine hidden

I keep mine hidden But it's so easy for you Because you let yours flail into public view

Yellow and green A stumbling block I'm a twenty-digit combination to unlock With a past where to be "touched" Meant to be "mental"

I keep mine hidden But life is so easy for you Because you let yours slide into public view

Use your loaf
