I went to London and die.

Morrissey - [Half A Person] (Live NY 2000)


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I'll tell you the story of my life:
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I/ die
I booked myself in at the Y....W.C.A
(whole story)

+ 1990 "The Face" interview with Morrissey:
Nick Kent: In my favourite of your confessional songs - "Half A Person" - you sing about being hopelessly smitten with a girl who, after you return to impress her as a famous personage, simply tells you, "When you were hopelessly poor I just liked you more"... Is that autobiographical?

Morrissey: "Yes, that is all absolutely true. She does exist."
