"In my life" — Morrissey quote meaning

“In my life”

“Oh, I can't help quoting you, because everything that you said rings true.”

““I can chase you, and I can catch you,”

Unfilial as this may seem, that was not at all so in my own case. It was only when I watched Alexander [my own son] being born that I knew at once that my own funeral director had very suddenly, but quite unmistakably, stepped onto the stage. I was surprised by how calmly I took this, but also by how reluctant I was to mention it to my male contemporaries.”

“…She kissed me on my thin lips and all my words were pushed back into my mouth.”
