Wilbur Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 What a week for fans of The Smiths, eh ? A TV documentary about Morrissey, and Captain Sensible re-invents himself as "Bigmouth". So, what are your favourite lyrics from The Smiths songbook ? Difficult one, but here goes ...... 1. ASK Spending warm summer days indoors writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg 2. THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT And if a double-decker bus crashes in to us to die by your side such a heavenly way to die and if a ten ton truck kills the both of us to die by your side the pleasure and the privilege is mine 3. SOME GIRLS ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS As Anthony said to Cleopatra as he opened a crate of ale: some girls are bigger than others some girls are bigger than others some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers 4. PANIC Hang the blessed D.J. Because the music that they constantly play IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE Hang the blessed D.J. 5. REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN Fifteen minutes with you oh I wouldn't say no people see no worth in you oh but I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again! Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 1. The Queen is Dead I said Charles, don't you ever crave To appear on the front of the Daily Mail Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil ? 2. Meat is Murder And the flesh you so fancifully fry Is not succulent, tasty or kind It's death for no reason And death for no reason is MURDER 3. Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now In my life Why do I smile At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ? 4. Girlfriend in a Coma Girlfriend in a coma, I know I know - it's really serious There were times when I could Have murdered her But you know, I would hate Anything to happen to her 5. Shoplifters of the World Unite My only weakness is a listed crime But last night the plans of a future war Was all I saw on Channel Four Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over Shoplifters of the world Hand it over Hand it over Hand it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST SID Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Can't believe no one has mentioned this one: How Soon is Now: 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 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. Also from Reel Around the Fountain: slap me on the patio, I'll take it now + 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 From Handsome Devil: (aka titter ye not) Let me get my hands on your mammary glands and let me get your head on the conjugal bed I say, I say, I say I crack the whip and you skip but you deserve it you deserve it, deserve it, deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BIGAL1 Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Sweet and Tender Hooligan Poor Old Man He had an accident with a three bar fire But thats OK Because he wasn't very happy anyway Poor Woman Strangled in her very own bed as she read But that's OK Because she was old and she would have died anyway. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable now What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed. And one for all Saints fans. Unloveable I wear black on the outside 'Cause black is how I feel on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 (edited) I heard someone singing the line "Driving in your car I never ever want to go home because I haven't got one" and ended up chewing the f**king carpet laughing so hard at such an unmitigated pile of bollocks. Then I found out it was a Smiths song and it somehow didn't surprise me. The Smiths were fffffaaaaaaaaacccckkkinnnnnn ssshhhhheeeeeeeiiiiiiiittttttAAAHHH!!!

ST SID Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Oh and "There is trouble in the forest, And the creatures all have fled, As the maples scream "Oppression!" And the oaks just shake their heads" is a work of such prosaic genuis isn't it? Erm, no it's " fffffaaaaaaaaacccckkkinnnnnn ssshhhhheeeeeeeiiiiiiiittttttAAAHHH!!!"
