Lyrics

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

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

"Certain People I Know" is a song by English singer-songwriter Morrissey, released in December 1992 as the third single from his third studio album, Your Arsenal (1992). It was 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. "Certain People I Know" was 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.
