"Shyness is nice, and shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to" Has got to be one of my favorite lyrics of all time. |

Actually Tam made a similar thread 11 years ago, it was like "Your favourite Smiths lyrics". Anyway, too many to mention to me, but here's a couple of my favourites: I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stich to wear
We have been through hell and high tide
I can surely rely on you and yet you start to recoil
heavy words are so lightly thrown
but I'd still leap in front of a flying bullet for you
And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I'll tell you the story of my life
I'm a human and I need to be loved
Frankly, Mr Shankly, since you ask
You are a flatulent pain the arse
I do not mean to be so rude
But still, I must speak frankly, Mr Shankly, give us money
There's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall

Spontaneously, I can think of the following:
"A double bed and a stalward lover for sure, these are the riches of the poor"
all of Well I Wonder (one of the best combinations of music and words EVER, seriously.)
"I could have been wild and I could have been free, but nature played this trick on me."
"Yes we may be hidden by rags but we have something they'll never have" (and the rest of Hand in Glove, I can't stress enough how much I love these lyrics)
"Send me the pillow, the one that you dream on"
"The rain falls hard in a humdrum town..." (the musical and vocal delivery let's this shine)
"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" (love, love, love it!!)
along with "people see no worth in you oh but I do" (only moz....)
I could name a thousand others but that's enough for now.

At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed
At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say :
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"
Re-issue ! Re-package ! Re-package !
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist
"Please them , please them !"
"Please them !"
(sadly, THIS was your life)
But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have said no
If you'd wanted to
BPI, MTV, BBC
"Please them ! Please them !"
(sadly this was your life)
But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have walked away
...Couldn't you ?
I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged "Take me with you ...
I don't care where you're going..."
But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know
Oh ...
Best of ! Most of !
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves !
Buy both, and feel deceived
Climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour ! ("media whore")
"Please the Press in Belgium !"
(THIS was your life...)
And when it fails to recoup ?
Well, maybe :
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
You're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm
So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again ...
At the record company meeting
On their hands - at last ! - a dead star !
But they can never taint you in my eyes
No, they can never touch you now
No, they cannot hurt you, my darling
They cannot touch you now
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again
If I could only ever listen to one song for the rest of my life it might well be this one.

So please, please, please,
Let me, let me, let me
Let me, let me get what I want
This time

I know that I'm unloveable
You don't have to tell me
I don't have much in my life
But take it, it's yours
And If I seem a little strange
Well, that's because I am
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
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
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
So, if there's something you'd like to try
Ask me, I won't say no, How could I?
And if a double decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don't care
