The Smiths - Nowhere fast

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world

I am a man of means (of slender means)

Each household appliance

Is like a new science in my town

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean

And when a train goes by It's such a sad sound

No ... It's such a sad thing

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen

Every sensible child will know what this means

The poor and the needy

Are selfish and greedy on her terms

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump In the ocean

And when a train goes by It's such a sad sound

No ... It's such a sad thing

And when I'm lying in my bed

I think about life And I think about death

And neither one

particularly appeals to me

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie

In the middle of the street and die

I'd lie down and die ...

The Smiths - Hand in glove

Hand in glove

the sun shines out of our behinds

No, it's not like any other love

this one is different because is us

Hand in glove

we can go wherever we please

and everything depends upon

how near you stand to me

And if the people stare

then, the people stare

I really don't know

and i really don't care!

Hand in glove

the Good People laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by "rags"

but we have something they'll never have

And if the people stare

then, the people stare

I really don't know

and I really don't care!

So hand in glove I stake my claim

I'll fight to the last breath
If they dare touch a hair on your head

I'll fight to the last breath

For The Good Life is out there, somewhere

So stay on my arm, you little charmer

But I know my luck too well

yes, I know my luck too well

and I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

The Smiths - I won't share you

I won't share you

I won't share you

with the drive, the ambition

the zeal I feel

this is my time

The note I wrote

was as she read,

she said has the Perrier gone straight to my head

or is life plainly sick and cruel, instead?

"YES!" No-no-no-no-no-no no-no-no-no-no-no

I won't share you

I won't share you

with the drive and the dreams inside

this is my time

Life tends to come and go

well, that's OK just as long as you know

Life tends to come and go

well, that's OK just as long as you know.

I won't share you

I won't share you

with the drive and the dreams inside

this is my time

this is my time

I want the freedom and I want the guile

I want the freedom and the guile

Life tends to come and go

As long as you know

I won't share you

I won't share you

I'll see you somewhere

I'll see you sometime...

The Smiths - Still ill

I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving

England is mine and it owes me a living

But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

but we cannot cling

to the old dreams anymore

no, we cannot cling to those dreams.

Does the body rule the mind

or does the mind rule the body?

I dunno...

Under the iron bridge we kissed

and although I ended up with sore lips

it just wasn't like

the old days anymore

no, it wasn't like those days

Am I still ill?

Oh no...

Am I still ill?

Oh no...

Does the body rule the mind

or does the mind rule the body?

I dunno...

Ask me why and I'll die

ask me why and I'll die

And if you must go to work tomorrow

well if I were you I wouldn't bother

for there are brighter sides to life

and I should know because I've seen them

but not very often .

Under the iron bridge we kissed

and although I ended up with sore lips

it just wasn't like

the old days anymore

no it wasn't like those days

Am I still ill?

Oh no...

Am I still ill?

Oh no...

The Smiths - The boy with the thorn in his side

The boy with the thorn in his side
behind the hatred there lies
a murderous desire
for love

How can they look into my eyes

and still they don't believe me?

How can they hear me say those words

and still they don't believe me?

And if they don't believe me now

will they ever believe me?

And if they don't believe me now

will they ever will they ever believe me?

The boy with the thorn in his side

behind the hatred there lies

a plundering desire

for love

How can they see the Love in our eyes

and still they don't believe us?

And after all this time

they don't want to believe us

and if they don't believe us now

will they ever believe us?

And when you want to Live

how do you start?

Where do you go?

Who do you need to know?
