The Smiths - A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours Lyrics
Oh hello, I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
I traveled to a mystical time zone

The Smiths - Death Of A Disco Dancer Lyrics
The death of a disco dancer
Well, it happens a lot 'round here
And if you think peace is a common goal
That goes to show how little you know
The Smiths - Girlfriend In A Coma Lyrics
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know it's serious
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know it's really serious
The Smiths - I Started Something I Couldn't Finish Lyrics
The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard-faced, three-word gesture

The Smiths - Paint A Vulgar Picture Lyrics
At the record company meeting
On their hands a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed
The Smiths - Stop Me If You Think You'Ve Heard This One Before Lyrics
Stop me, oh, oh-o, stop me
Stop me if you think
That you've heard this one before

The Smiths - Unhappy Birthday Lyrics
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil and you lie and if you should die
I may feel slightly sad but I won't cry
