Sweet and Tender Hooligan Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Morrissey uses sarcasm and satire to ridicule the justice system in the way of how it forgives the young “sweet and tender hooligans.” In the song he’s playing a role of a satirical defense to the person, who has committed all of the crimes and he mockingly tries to justify the murders.

The song was released as a stand alone single.
