The Smiths

The Smiths were an English alternative rock band, formed in Manchester in 1982. Based on the song writing partnership of vocalist Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, the band also included bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce. Critics have called them the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s. The group was signed to the independent record label Rough Trade Records, on which they released four studio albums, several compilations, and numerous non-LP singles. Although they had limited commercial success outside the UK while they were still together, and never released a single that charted higher than number 10 in their home country, The Smiths won a significant following, and remain cult an… more »

Very old friend 
Came by today 
As he was telling everyone in town 
Of all the love that he'd just found 

And Marie's the name (of his latest flame) 

Talked and talked 
And I heard him say 
That she had the longest blackest hair 
Prettiest green eyes anywhere 

And Marie's the name (of his latest flame) 

The last night of the fair 
By the big wheel generator 
A boy is stabbed 
His money is grabbed 
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine 

She is famous 
She is funny 
An engagement ring 
Doesn't mean a thing 
To a mind consumed by brass (money), oh 

The last night of the fair 
From a seat on a whirling waltzer 
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye 
It's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)
From a seat on a whirling waltzer 
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye 
A hideous trait (on her mother's side) 

Then someone falls in love 
Someone's beaten up 
Someone's beaten up 
And the senses being dulled are mine 
And someone falls in love 
Someone's beaten up 
And the senses being dulled are mine 

This is the last night of the fair 
And the grease in the hair 
Of a speedway operator 
Is all a tremulous heart requires 
A schoolgirl is denied 
She said : "How quickly would I die 
If I jumped from the top of the parachutes ?"

This is the last night of the fair 
And the grease in the hair 
Of a speedway operator 
Is all a tremulous heart requires 
A schoolgirl is denied 
She said : "How quickly would I die 
Oh, if I jumped from the top of the parachutes ?"

Oh, walk home alone 
I might walk home alone 
But my faith in love is still devout 
I might walk home alone 
But my faith in love is still devout 
I might walk home alone 
But my faith in love is still devout
