About Now My Heart Is Full

"Now My Heart Is Full" is a song by British singer Morrissey from his fourth solo album Vauxhall and I. The song's refrain of "Dallow, Spicer, Pinkie, Cubitt" references the gangsters from Graham Greene's 1938 novel Brighton Rock and the film of the same name. In an interview published in Les Inrockuptibles in 1995, Morrissey stated "This song was the definitive expression of my change to adulthood, of my maturity. And, to be honest, I was very happy to be able to sing this text, to have reached this state. After this song I could perfectly retire: I've come full circle."

There's gonna be some trouble 
A whole house will need re-building 
And everyone I love in the house 
Will recline on an analyst's couch quite soon 
Your father cracks a joke 
And in the usual way 
Empties the room 

Tell all of my friends 
I don't have too many 
Just some rain-coated lovers' puny brothers
Dallow, Spicer, Pinkie, Cubitt 
Rush to danger 
Wind up nowhere 
Patric Doonan, raised to wait 
I'm tired again, I've tried again, and 

Now my heart is full 
Now my heart is full 
And I just can't explain 
So I won't even try to

Dallow, Spicer, Pinkie, Cubitt 
Every jammy Stressford poet 
Loafing oafs in all-night chemists 
Loafing oafs in all-night chemists 
Underact, express depression 
Ah, but Bunnie I loved you 
I was tired again 
I've tried again, and 

Now my heart is full 
Now my heart is full 
And I just can't explain 
So I won't even try to 

Could you pass by? 
Could you pass by? 
Could you pass by? 
Could you pass by? 
Could you pass by? 
Oh 

Now my heart is full 
Now my heart is full 
And I just can't explain 
So so 
So so so so so
