The Smiths Lyrics


FORMED: 1982, Manchester, England

Review about The Smiths songs
IWhy are their lyrics so easy to remember. | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE ? performed by The Smiths

really sometimes I find myself typing something...a word a sentence and I start singing one of their songs. I don't nessecary need to know which one but today it was...this "And I'm feeling very sick and ill today". The weird part, I have the music and the droopy voice of Morrissey in my head.
I love the smiths. Their lyrics speak the truth!
Viva The Smiths!
The Smiths are DEAD!

    ------ About the song THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT performed by The Smiths

the song is about despair, about complete solitude, about live without spark, when you hoped in something for a long time, waited for it and this thing did not come true in time. and now when it's eventually knocking at your door, you're terrified because you don't know what to do with it... but you have a one way to solve all you problems... it doesn't sound in tragic way - it's like you are not a pawn in this "celebration of a life", you can change everything. this light reminds you that all in your hands

    ------ About the song THE QUEEN IS DEAD performed by The Smiths

Hey, finally some of the more obscure lyrics are cleared up for me. I first heard this when it was brand new, bought off the shelf in Manchester when I was fourteen and overseas on holiday (From Canada), walking around Manchester, London, Edinburgh etc, with a Sony walkman and this album. What a beautiful thing. But now I know every proper lyric, and I'm very grateful. And I agree with the above post, it's very very strong for a man to express "femininity". My role models growing up were half queer. Well, some of them were ALL queer. Ha ha. Seriously though, Morrissey is quite the macho singer. Nothing like Rob Halford though, he "tops" Morrissey. Ha ha. -S.

    ------ About the song HAND IN GLOVE performed by The Smiths

Come on seriously! Wearing rags, we've something they'll never have, then Morrissey talks about his luck, the sun is always behind..ie the future is bleak...it's about the gap between rich and poor. Take a walk downtown in a big city and think. The rich gawk at the poor as if they were some kind of aliens. The something is; true intelligence, perspective, humbleness, appreciation for life basic beauty...things the rich rarely have

I think you can strain to make anything sound gay, or straight, or however you want. Take a step back and refocus on something other than yourself.

    ------ About the song THIS CHARMING MAN performed by The Smiths

beautiful catchy song with cool lyrics, i think of it as a noble gesture of an old man helping out a boy with a flat tire on his beat up ruinned bicycle, when the boy jumped to the leather passenger seat, he gets a hand full of wisdom and experienced perspectives that makes the boy feel confident enough to invite his girlfriend out even he knows he doesnt have a stitch to wear, but it doesnt matter cuz the boy is happy to go out with that special girl....beautiful!!!.

    ------ About the song ASLEEP performed by The Smiths

I feel terrible that you are hurting. I have hurt like you've described here. No one knows what to say. Nothing anyone can do to make you feel better. Sometimes I have felt like just falling and melting into the ground. I hope you are okay. There is a lot of hurt in the world and I am always amazed to see how people hurt each other. I know this, tho, that this is how it is supposed to be. Ask Jesus to help your broken heart. I hope you are okay. Warmest heart, Vanessa.

    ------ About the song ASK performed by The Smiths

If you watch the film clip when "if it's not love then it's the bomb..." is being sung they actually show a bomb with BOMB written on it, can't get much more obvious than that...

    ------ About the song ASLEEP performed by The Smiths

I found this book through perks. Perks saved my life, you know. I was pretty fucked up & this book stopped me from hurting myself. This book helped me find this song, which made me happy. I keep reading all these wars about this song & the book. I hope you enjoy the song, listen to the music, regardless of your opinion of it & regardless of where you found it. Music & books save lives.

Love always,

    ------ About the song HOW SOON IS NOW ? performed by The Smiths

I was born in 58 as was Morrissey.This song would play at closing in a favorite nightclub in my city when I was in my 20's. Some nights, it completely nailed exactly what I & others were feeling as we shuffled out into the 2AM summer night.Alone. It was truly a masterpiece then..& it is now.

So Tired | Reviewer: Mike Vargas
    ------ About the song ASLEEP performed by The Smiths

Where do I begin? My interpretation of the song is that living in this painful world, wirh all the hurt and sorrow most hold in, can be perfectly described as just a complete tiredness, or fatigue. The pain is simply too much to bear. And passing into Heaven, that must feel like its described, as an Eternal rest. I greatly wish that tonight I could be sung to sleep, and never wake again.
