Certain People I Know

About Certain People I Know

"Certain People I Know" is a single by Morrissey released in December 1992. It is the third single to be taken from the Your Arsenal album and is the third and final Morrissey single to be produced by glam rock musician Mick Ronson. Reaching number 35 in the UK Singles Chart, the song had the distinction of being Morrissey's lowest charting solo single up to that point. The track is in many ways a tribute to the influence of Marc Bolan on both Morrissey and his guitarist Boz Boorer, featuring a guitar line played by producer Mick Ronson that recalls "Ride a White Swan" by T. Rex. This was also the first Morrissey single to be released following the singer's bottling off stage at the Madstock festival when he supported Madness and the subsequent NME story regarding his alleged racism. This led to the single cover being changed from featuring the singer's name spelt out in the colours of the Union Jack to plain black writing. The video to the track was shot in Calumet Park, Chicago. more »

I take the cue from 
Certain people I know 
I use the cue 
And then I 
Hand it on to you 

And when I swing it 
So, it catches his eye... 
(weren't you there ? 
- you'd have died !) 

I trust the views of 
Certain people I know 
They look at danger 
And they 
Laugh their heads off 

Their clothes are imitation 
George the 23rd 
(don't you find this absurd?) 

I'd hate to be like 
Certain people I know 
They break their necks 
And can't afford to
Get them fixed 

Ah, they'd sacrifice all 
Of their principles for 
Anything cashable 
I do believe it's terrible 

Oh, wo, wo 
Ah, ah, ah, ah 
Oh, wo, wo 
Ah, ah, ah, ah 
Oh, wo, wo 
Ah, ah, ah, ah
