"Been missin' you baby
I'll miss you again"
Then after a bit there's a spoken bit that says
"Machester, so much to answer for."

Don't listen to those other muppets the song is "Aim" by Ned's Atomic Dustbin and taken from the Bite ep.
"Been missin' you, baby
I'll miss you again
Can't get a good aim
Strange, I can't get a grip on
Can't get a good aim
Ashamed I can't hold a gun right
Can't get a good aim
You won't stay in my sights
Can't get a good aim
Hold on, hold on tight.
Manchester? So much to answer for!
Lay off of my brain
Get off of my back
Get back on that train
Find your own track
Don't ever come back."
The spoken bit is a scathing critique of the baggy scene of the time, seeing as how Ned's were from Stourbridge and totally different from the Mondays et al.

It's the song "Suffer Little Children" by The Smiths, and those idiots, who gave stupid answers before me, should read this and reconsider their answers:
In the 60's, Myra Hindley and lover Ian Brady abducted and murdered several small children in and around Manchester. They buried several bodies on Saddleworth Moor, north of Manchester; when they were found out, the case became known as the Moors Murders. Steven Patrick Morrissey was the same age as several of the victims, like Lesley Anne Downey and John Kilbride. In interviews years later, he revealed the deep impression the murders had left on him as a child - a feeling of an intense malevolent spirit around Manchester that never really left him.
This experience was to turn into the lyrics for this evocative and highly moving song, with surely the best lyrics on the first album. The image of the children's ghosts clamouring to be buried in the Moors, their promise of retribution, and the stern reminder "Manchester, so much to answer for" all add to the deep sadness of this tune, backed by Marr's plaintive guitar parts.
Months after the release of "The Smiths", a relative of the murdered John Kilbride heard this song on a jukebox in a pub. Incensed by what he saw as a taking advantage of the murders, a chance hearing caused yet another scandal to hinder the rising career of The Smiths. After several communications from Morrissey himself, the relatives soon realised the sincerity of the song. In its early stages, this song was titled "Over The Moors".
This song was only played live once, at The Smiths' first gig, The Ritz, 4th October 1982.
