thirteen,clever and bored
staring out of my window
so unadored..

all alone..and time to roam
around these rain soaked streets
i call home

Sunday papers ,blown away
across the old park
were i used to play

why don`t you believe me
when i say ,i talk for hours
 on a broken phone

in my  two up, two down
same as every other house
in the town

a red brick paradise,
so very comfortable,
i`m sure
you could be living next door
to Louis Pasteur

i`m not a special case
just finding my place
in the human race.

I`m not am special case

i walk these rain streets

so unadored,so unadored.

I`m a big Morrisey fan so got up early to write this
in his style.

Yes 'unadored' would be a very Morrissey word. I'm a big fan of Morrissey's lyrics too and you've achieved a good song in his style.
Only bit I'm not keen on is:

i`m not a special case
just finding my place
in the human race.

It's just so cliche'd and overused -  and in 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' Steven himself sings:

'And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race'

Maybe you intended that as a 'nod', I don't know, but where his has an unusual slant on it - invoking of self-loathing as it is, yours has been used a lot before in slightly different forms. Anyhow - didn't work for me. Louis Pasteur bit was good though!

That aside I thought it was great, but needs pairing with very un-smiths like music or it will sound like an obvious parody.

Youth & enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery.

yeah, i noticed that a couple of minutes ago,,its like big mouth...will leave it in for now

It was only really an exercise in writing...you`ve got to be Morrisey to really write his songs...
