The Smiths - This Charming Man (Bbc) Lyrics

The Smiths - This Charming Man (Bbc) Video

Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate

Will nature make a man of me yet?

When in this charming car

This charming man

 

Why pamper life's complexity

When the leather runs smooth

On the passenger seat?

 

I would go out tonight

But I haven't got a stitch to wear

This man said, It's gruesome

That someone so handsome should care

 

A jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place

He said, Return the rings

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

 

I would go out tonight

But I haven't got a stitch to wear

This man said, It's gruesome

That someone so handsome should care

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

This charming man

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

This charming man

 

Ah, a jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place

He said, Return the ring

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

He knows so much about these things

The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now Lyrics

The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now Video

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

But heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job and then I found a job

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life

Why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or I die?

 

Two lovers entwined pass me by

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job and then I found a job

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life

Why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or I die?

 

What she asked of me at the end of the day

Caligula would have blushed

Oh you've been in the house too long, she said

And I naturally fled

In my life

Why do I smile

At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

 

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

But heaven knows I'm miserable now

Oh you've been in the house too long, she said

And I naturally fled

In my life

Why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or I die?

The Smiths - Cemetry Gates (Rank) Lyrics

The Smiths - Cemetry Gates (Rank) Video

A dreaded sunny day

So I meet you at the cemetry gates

Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day

So I meet you at the cemetry gates

Keats and Yeats are on your side

While Wilde is on mine

So we go inside and we gravely read the stones

All those people, all those lives

Where are they now?

With loves and hates

And passions just like mine

They were born

And then they lived

And then they died

Seems so unfair

I want to cry

You say: Ere thrice the sun hath done

Salutation to the dawn

And you claim these words as your own

But I've read well and I've heard them said

A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)

If you must write prose or poems

The words you use should be your own

Don't plagiarise or take 'on loan'

There's always someone, somewhere

With a big nose who knows

And who trips you up and laughs

When you fall

Who'll trip you up and laugh

When you fall

You say: Ere long done do does did

Words which could only be your own

And then produce the text

From whence was ripped

'Some dizzy whore', 1804

A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're happy

And I meet you at the cemetry gates

Oh Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day

So let's go where we're wanted

And I meet you at the cemetry gates

Keats and Yeats are on your side

But you lose

'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine

The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me Lyrics

The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me Video

Last night I dreamt

That somebody loved me

No hope, no harm

Just another false alarm

 

Last night I felt

Real arms around me

No hope, no harm

Just another false alarm

 

So tell me how long

Before the last one?

And tell me how long

Before the right one?

 

This story is old

I know, but it goes on

This story is old

I know, but it goes on

 

It goes on
