Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want


by quite a margin, too.

 

[foo]

i'm not exactly clued up when it comes to all songs Moz, but i really like that one too.

(the one El Jefe said)

 

[Maggot]

another one of my faves is death of a disco dancer - I wanted to kill the people who were chatting through it at the morrissey gig on friday but I did the sensible thing and moved away from them.

I love that one too, the crescendo at the end is amazing.

 

[Roadkill]

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

^ That one. It's a beautiful song.

e2a my favourite bit of a Smiths recording, though, is the end of Vicar in a Tutu, on Rank. The first bit of the song feels a bit rushed, but when Mozz goes into his 'I am a living sign...' bit you realise just what a stunning voice he has.

 

[Annierak]

"There is a light that never goes out" is my favorite but i also adore "Asleep" and "Handsome devil"

 

[Silva]

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, too.

 

[CalmerChameleon]

Right now I'd say I Know It's Over

 

[Geri]

I also love 'The hand that rocks the cradle'

Ceiling shadows shimmy by
and when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
there's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh your untouched unsoiled wonderous eyes...

 

[articul8]

I know it's over/ it never really began/ but in my heart it was sooo.... real

 

[Annierak]

I also love "Reel around the fountain"

 

[Annierak]

I also love "Reel around the fountain"

"15 minutes with you
Well i wouldn't say no
Oh People see no worth in you oh but i do"

 

[killer b]

there is a light that never goes out here too.

although my friend played me a great smiths track once which i've never been able to identify since... it sounds like a massive soul number, but sung by moz. any ideas what it could be?

 

[Annierak]

I also love "Reel around the fountain"

"i dreamt about you last night
and i fell out of bed twice
you can pin and mount me like a butterfly
but "take me to the haven of your bed"
was something that you never said
two lumps, please
you're the bee's knees
but so am I"

 

[articul8]

i also adore "Handsome devil"

there's more to life than books you know, but not much more

let me get my hands on yourrrr...mammary glands...

"I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it"

 

[lights.out.london]

Reel Around the Fountain

or

What She Said

 

[articul8]

"I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it"

(not Smiths I know but...) used to be a sweet boy, but I'm not to blame, I'm not to blame...

 

[Annierak]

(not Smiths I know but...) used to be a sweet boy, but I'm not to blame, I'm not to blame...

"Used to be a sweet boy
And I'm not to blame
But something went wrong
Something went wrong
And I know
I'm not to blame
Something went wrong
Can't be to blame
Ah ..."

 

[articul8]

so true

Blazer and tie and a big wide empty smile...

 

[Annierak]

Really love "These things take time" as well.

"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkind
You took me behind a dis-used railway line
And said "I know a place where we can go
Where we are not known"
And then you gave me something that I won't forget too soon
But I can't believe that you'd ever care
And this is why you will never care
But these things take time
I know that I'm
The most inept
That ever stepped

I'm spellbound, oh ... but a woman divides
And the hills are alive with celibate cries
But you know where you came from, you know where
You're going and you know where you belong
You said I was ill, and you were not wrong
But I can't believe that you'd ever care
And so, you will never care
But these things take time
And I know that I'm
The most inept
That ever stepped


Oh, the alcoholic afternoons
When we sat in your rooms
They meant more to me
Than any, than any living thing on earth
They had more worth
Than any living thing on earth
On earth, on earth, oh ...


Vivid and in your prime
You will leave me behind
You will leave me behind"

 

[stavros]

I'm not a Smiths expert, but I do love "This Charming Man".

 

[Annierak]

"I don't owe you anything" is another favorite too.

"Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next

Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next


Did I really walk all this way
Just to hear you say :
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight" ?
"Oh, I don't want to go out tonight"

Oh, but you will
For you must


I don't owe you anything, no
But you owe me something
Repay me now


You should never go to them
Let them come to you
Just like I do
Just like I do"



Awww

 

[Geri]

Has anyone else ever been to a Smiths convention?

 

[Annierak]

Love the words to "Hand In Glove"....

"Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
No, it's not like any other love
This one is different - because it's us

Hand in glove
We can go wherever we please
And everything depends upon
How near you stand to me


And if the people stare
Then the people stare
Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care


Kiss My Shades

Hand in glove
The Good People laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we've something they'll never have


Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we've something they'll never have


And if the people stare
Then the people stare
Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care


Kiss My Shades ... oh ...

So, hand in glove I stake my claim
I'll fight to the last breath


If they dare touch a hair on your head
I'll fight to the last breath


For the Good Life is out there somewhere
So stay on my arm, you little charmer


But I know my luck too well
Yes, I know my luck too well
And I'll probably never see you again
I'll probably never see you again
I'll probably never see you again
Oh ..."

 

[Voley]

I'm not a Smiths expert, but I do love "This Charming Man".

Yeah, I think that's their best song, too.

 

[Annierak]

Has anyone else ever been to a Smiths convention?

No but i've always wanted to. I've been to plenty of Moz nights in Manchester. The atmosphere is excellent with pure Moz and Smiths tracks for 6 hours

 

[articul8]

I once gave a paper to an academic conference on the Smiths - I felt lonely and poorly understood

 

[Annierak]

Sounds like something i would do given the chance

 

[Maggot]

I once gave a paper to an academic conference on the Smiths - I felt lonely and poorly understood

Morrisey would have understood what that feels like.
