The The Lyrics


Matt Johnson was born in London's East End in 1961. He's
been in bands since he was 11 years old. At age 17, fueled
by a musical collection that included John Lennon, Syd
Barrett, Tim Buckley, T-Rex and the great post-punk
industrialists Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, The
Residents and Thomas Leer, he formed The The by placing a
"musicians wanted" ad in England's New Musical Express.
From the release of their first singles -- on 4AD and Some
Bizzare -- Johnson's passionate intelligence coupled with

Review about The The songs
more than one version of this song | Reviewer: Stef Flater
    ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The

There is more than one version of this song. The one on the album 'Soul mining' ends with the piano solo. The single was different, had no piano solo but a sax and a synthesiser sounding like a flute. There was also a 12 inch version.

Amazing song | Reviewer: Andrew Ryan
    ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The

Aminibus: "Then the crap*y riff returns at the end."

Er, no it doesn't - the song ends on Jools Hollands' piano fading out. I'm with the previous reviewer - I think you're confusing it with a different song.

Moaning about synthesisers? | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The

Come on people! The synth was THE instrument of the '80s and you couldn't move for all the Yamahas and Moogs and Rolands cluttering up the place. But did you not spot the 3 minutes of Jools Holland playing an actual, real piano? Or were you thinking of something else? And at least it's better than the bloody Hammond organ that littered every LSD-fuelled prog rock tune a decade earlier.

Such An Amazing Song | Reviewer: Reviewing: Review
    ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The

This is one of those songs that make me wish that I was born 30 years earlier...then again, I wouldn't be able to enjoy songs by Beware of Safety and Otto Dix, either. I'll just have to try and enjoy it all at the same time.

This IS the DAY | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The

I to lived in that era and can relate to the wasted days represented in the song and the DAY everything changed. The past can't be done over and for me that is good because I never want to forget where I've been as it has made me who I am today.

The Kiss Fan - Sure knows Something! | Reviewer: Rick
    ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The

Look, Kiss in their own right are a good band, if you want to listen to no brainer music that you just 'bang' your head to the beat of the music. The The music, synthesized, but the lyrics are well thought and emotive. Great music to kick back too...

some sort of selfish review | Reviewer: Aminibus
    ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The

Enough about Kiss. What happened when they stopped wearing make-up? No-one cared about them anymore. In the same way no-one would go to a circus if the clowns didn't wear make-up.

I'm not a fan of The The, but find these lyrics interesting. Poetic and, to a point, ambiguous. A good combination.

I don't like the strange synthesized opening riff at all but, if I haven't skipped the song by then (no patience in this digital age), I like the guitar, flute ... even saxophone (rare for me) remainder. Then the crap*y riff returns at the end. Diddlediddledoo diddlediddledoo dah dah *skip*.

Flashes of my Life............. | Reviewer: Frank
    ------ About the song This Is The Day performed by The The

People sometimes say when you are dying, you have flashes of your life. Will sound kinda silly to say this but if it's true, I hope God plays this great 80's Classic for me as I re-live them one more time. It's such a happy melody yet makes me feel bad for all the bad decisions I've made throughout my 41 year old life. God bless my Soul!!!

Also to the KISS fan. | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The

I find it funny that you say "To say Matt Johnson is inarguably one of the best lyrists of his time, is a complete joke."

Let's take a look at some of Kiss' jems shall we?
From "Bang Bang You":
"I'm gonna bang, bang you - I'll shoot you down with my love gun, baby"

From "Calling Dr. Love"
"So if you please get on your knees
There are no bills, there are no fees"

and one of my all time favourites, of cheesy douche bag lyrics...
From "Gimme More":
"Like a dog to a bone, make you sweat, make you moan
Love is sweet, so insane, come on lick my candy cane"

I guess to read lyrics that actually have some sort of intellectual substance could make someone of your mentality sick. But given the fact that you're listening to Kiss, I'm guessing you wouldn't know good music if it bent you over and smacked you in the ass.

    ------ About the song Uncertain Smile performed by The The

the dork below should go back to grade school. the fact this clown likes 'all music' should be enough for the rest of us to understand he/she clearly can't grasp the depth. if you google any 'the the's' lyrics, you see that millions have gone looking for what this moron refers to as 'projectile inducing vomiting'. this is likely a guy who never read a book in his life except when he called 'hot rod magazine' his favourite book as a teenager. loser!
