Back to the Old House - The Smiths

I would rather not go

Back to the old house

I would rather not go

Back to the old house

There's too many bad memories

Too many memories there

Oh, the house

The house

When you cycled by

Here began all my dreams

The saddest thing I've ever seen

And you never knew

How much I really liked you

Because I never even told you

Oh, and I meant to

Are you still there?

Or have you moved away?

Or have you moved away?

Oh, have you?

Have you?

I would love to go

Back to the old house

But I never will

I never will

I never will

Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths

Sweetness

Sweetness, I was only joking when I said

I'd like to smash every tooth in your head

Oh sweetness

Sweetness, I was only joking when I said

By rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

As the flames rose to her Roman nose

And her Walkman started to melt

Bigmouth la-da-da-da-da

Bigmouth la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

Bigmouth la-da-da-da-da

Bigmouth la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

As the flames rose to her Roman nose

And her hearing aid started to melt

Bigmouth la-da-da-da-da

Bigmouth la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

Bigmouth ho-ho-ha-ha-ha

Bigmouth la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

Bigmouth ho-ho-ha-ha-ha

Bigmouth la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

Bigmouth la-da-da-da-da

Bigmouth la-da-da-da

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place with the human race

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths

Take me out tonight

Where there's music and there's people

Who are young and alive

Driving in your car

I never never want to go home

Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight

Because I want to see people

And I want to see life

Driving in your car

Oh please don't drop me home

Because it's not my home, it's their home

And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus

Crashes in to us

To die by your side

Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck

Kills the both of us

To die by your side

Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight

Take me anywhere, I don't care

I don't care, I don't care

And in the darkened underpass

I thought "oh God, my chance has come at last"

But then a strange fear gripped me

And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight

Oh take me anywhere, I don't care

I don't care, I don't care

Driving in your car

I never never want to go home

Because I haven't got one

No, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus

Crashes in to us

To die by your side

Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck

Kills the both of us

To die by your side

Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

How Soon Is Now? - The Smiths

I am the son, and the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and heir

Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

I am the son and the heir

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and the heir

Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

There's a club if you'd like to go

You could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go, and you stand on your own

And you leave on your own

And you go home, and you cry

And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"

Well, when exactly do you mean?

See I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth, how can you say

I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths

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 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 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 die
