I had to leave the circus, a stand-in for the skunk, the elephants were dying and the clowns rip roaring drunk, I hid out on the highway until I made the town, I asked around where could I stay but no one made a sound.. I queried the town crier, I asked 'Whats wrong with your throat?' He cracked a smile said ' This here's the style...this is the Dead Man's Float!!' 
I was desperate to get hired, I built a cardboard house, I had a guest named Friday, a fine specimen of Grouse, we met with silence for a job, they thought I was a looter, I hustled tips, I got a deal on a second hand scooter. Me and Friday we left that town with his beak he carved a note, said Had to Run, Had Too Much Fun You Can Keep Your Dead Man's Float! 
We pressed across the U.S., Lord knows that desert's tough, endless seeking for a home 'til Friday squawked 'Enough!"" The city lights were blazing the noise was deafening, at last some conversation, we could stay there 'til the spring! Then I heard a megaphone blast a chilling quote, it said, ""Silence please get on your knees and dig, dig, dig the Dead Man's Float!

    Which of these lyrics is NOT by The Smiths, but by Morrissey?
    A Send at least one thoughtful letter, my heart goes out to you
    B Why pamper life's complexity, when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?
    C In the days when you were hopelessly poor, I just liked you more
    D Yes, we may be hidden by rags, but we've something they'll never have
