Park the car at the side of the road
you should know
time's tide will smother you
and I will too
when you laugh about people who feel so
very lonely
their only desire is to die
well I'm afraid
it doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh
but that joke isn't funny anymore
it's too close to home
and it's too near the bone
it's too close to home
and it's too near the bone
more than you'll ever know

This Night Has Opened My Eyes
>Smiths member
Marr musically,young Morrissey is my eternal crush though.

>overrated
Strangeways is crazy overrated today, it's a 7/10 doesn't have any real classic asides from Paint A Vulgar Picture but people treat it as a candidate for best Smiths album
>Underrated
Meat Is Murder is The Smiths at their peak but doesn't have any standout single so people overlook it.

>lyrics
All the lies that you make up
What's at the back of your mind?
Oh, your face I can see
And it's desperately kind
But what's at the back of your mind?

Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
It's the Eskimo blood in my veins
Amid concrete and clay
And general decay
Nature must still find a way
So ignore all the codes of the day
Let your juvenile influences sway
This way and that way
This way, that way
God, how sex implores you
To let yourself lose yourself

Stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body, lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say
As we lie, you say
Stretch out and wait
Let your puny body lie down, lie down

As we lie, you say :
Will the world end in the night time?
(I really don't know)
Or will the world end in the day time?
(I really don't know)
And is there any point ever having children?
Oh, I don't know
All I do know is we're Here and it's Now

So... stretch out and wait
Stretch out and wait
There is no debate, no debate, no debate
How can you conciously contemplate
When there's no debate, no debate?
Stretch out and wait

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
it's such a sad sound

And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
and I think about death
and neither one particularly appeals to me
and if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
in the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die

I think strangeways seems to overrated because morrissey said it was his favourite smiths album

>lyrics
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know...

'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over

How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead, and decided to bury me
God knows I'm ready


Only listened to the first two albums + HOH, I love the Smiths a lot,started listening to them 6 months ago, I'm digesting their albums slowly. Gonna listen to the Queen is dead the last day of the year.

>>68817253
>digesting their albums slowly
I did the same, I recommend it. After TQiD I guess you're going on to Strangeways and then all the B-sides?

(And then Morrissey's Solo Stuff)

>After TQiD I guess you're going on to Strangeways and then all the B-sides?
>(And then Morrissey's Solo Stuff)
Exactly. I usually give every album 3 months. It kinda makes me sad that after TQiD there's only one album left.

Was going to post this. I Know It's Ok puts me on suicide watch any time I listen to it.

>>68817653
There's plenty iof B-sides my friend, most are the same quality as the album tracks. I'll just write them all here (in chronological order) because I don't recommend listening to the compilations:

Back to the Old House
These Things Take Time
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
These Things Take Time
William It Was Really Nothing
How Soon Is Now
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want
Oscillate Wildly
Shakespeare's Sister
Stretch out and Wait
Rubber Ring
Asleep
Panic
The Draize Train
Money Changes Everything
Unloveable
Ask
Golden Lights
Shoplifters of the World Unite
London
Half a Person
You Just haven't Earned It Yet, baby
Sheila Take a Bow
Is It Really So Strange?
Sweet and Tender Hooligan
Work is a Four-Letter Word
I Keep Mine Hidden

Plenty of songs you probably haven't heard, happy listening.

>>68817766
>I don't recommend listening to the compilations
Why not?

>>68817796
Because none of them contain all non-albums tracks and so you have to listen to multiple compilations to listen to them all. Plus they're all cluttered with album tracks.

Better to just make a playlist/download all the tracks I posted and listen there.

>>68817796
>>68817848
Yeah, smiths compilations are fucking awful to navigate

>>68814762
Album: The Smiths
Song: Meat is Murder
Member: Moz ofc
underrated: MIM
overrated: TQID
favorite lyrics are probably I know it's over, as cliche as it is

>>68817766
not to nitpick but you forgot Jeane, Wonderful Woman, and Accept Yourself.

>>68818028
>>68817848
Idk Louder than Bombs has a good portion of them, if you're just going on completeness. The World Won't Listen is the only one that has Money Changes Everything though, and that's one of my favorites

>album
The Queen Is Dead
>song
Frankly, Mr Shankly (probably)
>member
Marr. He is a genius.
>underrated album
Strangeways. My 2nd favourite
>overrated album
S/T, it's usually hailed as their best and as representative of post-punk, but I find it the weakest (still great, though)
>lyrics
The are a lot to chose from, but the entirety of Nowhere Fast gave me very good feels from the very first time

>>68817766
Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Overrated is TQID, Underrated is Meat is Murder
>Favourite Smiths lyrics?
I was delayed, I was way-laid
An emergency stop
I smelt the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make
A shy, bald, buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder
Who said lied I'd to her?
Oh, who said I'd lied because I never? I never!
Who said I'd lied because I never?
I was detained, I was restrained
And broke my spleen
And broke my knee
(and then he really laced into me)
Friday night in out-patients
Who said I'd lied to her?

>Favorite song

Paint A Vulgar Picture is really really nice, but IDK, Cemetry Gates maybe? Or Headmasters Ritual. They're all so great

Good thread buckos
