07.Nowhere FastI'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means (of slender means)
Each household appliance
Is like a new science in my town
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by

A Rush And A Push And The Land[Intro]
Oh hello
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
And I missed my bed
And I soon came home
A Rush And A Push And The Land Is OursHELLO
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
hung by his pretty white neck
some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
but I missed my bed
so I soon came home

Accept YourselfEveryday you must say:
"So how do I feel about my life?"
Anything is hard to find
When you will not open your eyes
When will you accept yourself?
I am sick and I am dull and I am plain
How dearly I'd love to get carried away
Oh but dreams have a knack of just not coming true

Shyness can stop you

Girlfriend In A ComaЗа пять лет существования The Smiths записали четыре полноценных альбома, 17 синглов и около 70 песен. На сцене и в студии они были безупречны; но в жизни плыли из одного кризиса в другой. По каким-то своим причинам у них не было постоянного менеджера, и все ложилось на плечи Джонни Марра; и когда постоянно приходится отрываться от создания шедевров, чтобы обсудить аренду фургона, это может привести к странному состоянию духа. К тому же Моррисси отказывался разговаривать с кем-либо, кроме Марра.
"Эта группа изначально была странной, на этом все и держалось" - говорит Марр; - "отношения между людьми были необычнее некуда. Всё, что происходило, было сверхинтенсивно и это придавало интенсивность музыке. Будь это не так, мы бы так не звучали".
Моррисси никогда не репетировал новые песни с группой. "Он просто сидел в студии и слушал, как мы играем. Если ему нравилось, он кивал головой и улыбался; если нет - вставал и уходил. Если ему совсем не нравилось, что делают бас с барабанами, он брал Джонни и выходил с ним из комнаты, а потом Джонни возращался и говорил с нами. Проблема в общении? Полная. Игра в угадайку - как сделать так, чтобы Моррисси был счастлив.
Мы записывали всю ритм-секцию и гитары, не имея представления - что он будет петь. И это было страшно интересно - что же он споет. И когда он в конце концов начинал петь, большую часть времени мы валялись на полу от хохота. Таков уж Моррисси - либо хохочешь, либо плачешь, его песни - либо комедия, либо трагедия; а чаще всего - либо и то, и другое одновременно".

what I think you are asking for
heaven knows i'm miserable now
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
How Soon is NowI 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 knew very well
What was coming next

A nod was the first step
You knew very well

Decides to try to catch up with your biology

the low-life has lost its appeal
and I'm tired of walking these streets
to a room with its cupboard bare

That somebody loved me
No hope - but no harm
Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope - no harm
Just another false alarm
Meat is MurderHeifer whines could be human cries

Never Had No One EverWhen you walk without ease

Never, ever oh ... had no one ever

Could life ever be sane again?
The Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmere

See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad

A sad fact widely known
The most impassionate song
To a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But don't forget the songs

By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed and his money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
She is Famous, she is Funny
An engagement ring
Doesn't mean a thing

Because I'm going to meet the one I love

Young bones groan and the rocks below say
"Throw your white body down"

Some girls are bigger than others
Some girl's mothers are bigger than

You took me behind a dis-used railway line
And said "I know a place where we can go

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

Vicar In A TutuI was minding my business

The roof of the Holy Name church
It was worthwhile living a laughable life
To set my eyes on the blistering sight
Of a vicar in a tutu
He's not strange
He just wants to live his life this way

What Difference Does It MakeAll men have secrets and here is mine, so let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide, I think I can rely on you
And yet you start to recoil, heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
So, what difference does it make?
So, what difference does it make?
It makes none but now you have gone
