Strangeways here come LP

Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me

Last night I dreamt That somebody loved me

Last night I dreamt
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

So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?

The story is old – I KNOW
But it goes on
The story is old – I KNOW
But it goes on

Oh, GOES ON
And on
Oh, goes on
And on

Girlfriend in a coma - The Smiths,1987, aug

Girlfriend in a coma

Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know – it’s serious
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)

NO, I DON’T WANT TO SEE HER

Do you really think
She’ll pull through ?
Do you really think
She’ll pull through ?
Pull through …

Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know – it’s serious
My, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye

I started something I couldn’t finish – The Smiths,1987, nov

I’ve started something I couldn’t Finish

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

I started something
I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me
Typical me
I started something
…And now I’m not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams
Uh, that’s what tradition means
And I doused another venture
With a gesture
That was … absolutely vile
