As I said earlier, this week will be showing about my second fave band in my life. Ever. The Smiths. Well, they came from a great city of Manchester, UK and they became one of the great bands ever. How? Hmmmm I don't know which magazine was it, but they had a survey and asked who is the most influential band then the number 1 band is The Smiths, beating The Beatles. hehe In an alternative sense, that can be possible. Come on. Even Emo bands should thank them. hehe Or even many bands. Well, you can just check wiki for their profile, don't make me explain or tell their story. It's long and damn crazy, until now. hehe
They are not even close after they broke up. Suing each other. hehe
Anyway, let's look at the lyrics. I was surprised there is a New York Version.
A punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet ?
When in this charming car
This charming man
Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ?
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"
A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
New York version adds :
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...
A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
Very simple song, actually, I am still in trance. hehe I haven't really understand the lyrics here but what amaze me in this song it's the whole song. From the great guitar play from Marr and the voice of Morrisey, it's simply great. I don't know how to play a guitar but with the sounds of it, it's hard to copy. hehe Marr is a God. hehe Cleverness of the song is really present here, as one of the qualities of the song. It's fun yet when you see the lyrics, it's about hate, oh how about the song "Panic"..
Even it's short, which another quality of their songs, they are really good summing up in such a short time, summing up the good rhythm, and a good lead singer, and basic bass and drums.
He did say charming man, but for just describing the guy. What a song. hehe
Oh well, I am not charming. hehe
Tomorrow will be miserable.
