| | THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE Lyrics Artist(Band):The Smiths
For the ghost and the storm outside Will not invade this sacred shrine Nor infiltrate your mind My life down I shall lie If the bogey-man should try To play tricks on your sacred mind To tease, torment, and tantalise Wavering shadows loom A piano plays in an empty room There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright I'll still be by your side For you are all that matters And I'll love you to till the day I die There never need be longing in your eyes As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine Ceiling shadows shimmy by And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey There's sadness in your beautiful eyes Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes My life down I shall lie Should restless spirits try To play tricks on your sacred mind I once had a child, and it saved my life And I never even asked his name I just looked into his wondrous eyes And said : "never never never again" And all too soon I did return Just like a moth to a flame So rattle my bones all over the stones I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns Oh, see how words as old as sin Fit me like a glove I'm here and here I'll stay Together we lie, together we pray There never need be longing in your eyes As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine Mine Climb up on my knee, sonny boy Although you're only three, sonny boy You're - you're mine And your mother she just never knew Oh, your mother ... As long ... as long ... as long I did my best for her I did my best for her As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long I did my best for her I did my best for her Oh ...

Review about THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE beautiful | Reviewer: Holly | 7/29/09 This song, i feel shows exaclty what The Smiths are about, they sing so controversially, yet beautifully. Does anyone apart from Morrissey know exaclty what this song is about? I personally dont think it is about child abuse, i feel it is about love from different angles, as weel as a father who left his son and now is coming back and felt a surge of love hense 'never never never again' meaning he will never leave again. I think this song also shows protection over something vunerable and beautiful. One of their best!
