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 »

As merry as the days were long 
I was right and you were wrong 

Back at the old grey school 
I would win and you would lose 

But you've got everything now 
You've got everything now 
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life 
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life 

No, I've never had a job 
Because I've never wanted one 

I've seen you smile 
But I've never really heard you laugh 

So who is rich and who is poor? 
I cannot say...oh

You are your mother's only son 
And you're a desperate one 
Oh... 

But I don't want a lover 
I just want to be seen...oh...in the back of your car 

A friendship sadly lost? 
Well this is true...and yet, it's false 
Oh... 

But did I ever tell you, by the way? 
I never did like your face 

But you've got everything now 
You've got everything now 
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life 
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life 

No, I've never had a job 
Because I'm too shy 

I've seen you smile 
But I've never really heard you laugh 

So who is rich and who is poor ? 
I cannot say...oh

Oh... 
You are your mother's only son 
And you're a desperate one 
Oh... 

But I don't want a lover 
I just want to be tied... oh...to the back of your car 
To the back of your car 
To the back of your car 
To the back of your car 
To the back of your car 
To the back of your car 
Oh...
