"Sing Your Life" was a single by Morrissey released in April 1991. It was the second single taken from the Kill Uncle album. On release this was Morrissey's lowest charting single in the UK charts, reaching only number 33. One of the single's b-sides was a cover version of "That's Entertainment" by The Jam which had backing vocals by "Chas Smash", aka Carl Smyth the second singer of the band Madness.
The lyrics involve Morrissey begging someone on the brink of suicide to "sing your life" before they finally kill themselves.
