I dreamt about you last night. And I fell out of bed twice... The dream has gone, but the baby is real enough. Yeah, Morrissey nicked these - and a lot of other sentences - from this play and used them for his songs for The Smiths. Thanks for the upload! Had the film, but lost it. Now I can listen to the play. Cheers!
