woah

literally cannot help adding “Manchester … so much to answer for” whenever I talk about the city - by far the most deeply ingrained of their lyrics for whatever reason. Deserves way more

Nowhere Fast will always be the depressed, rainslicked and stifled sound of living and working in south wales for nothing for me.

Nowhere Fast and I Want The One I Can’t Have each got a point off me. I love Meat Is Murder.

It’s always said, but it’s an absolute disgrace that Morrissey put those lyrics over that music. Prick.

No, but they are Licensed to Ill.

I don’t recall that being in the hippocratic oath.

I hadn’t listened to The Smith’s in a good 8 years at least before this. Sort of thought that they wouldn’t be as good as I thought they were. Thought I’d be cringing at younger me for thinking the lyrics were great. Nope. Still incredible. And the lyrics are amazing, he’s just a completely different writer to his solo career in The Smiths. Especially the self Titled and Hatful of Hollow stuff where it’s so scuzzy and horny.

I’ve got to say the line England is mine, it owes me a living really does make me wince now.

I remember putting that in a MySpace bulletin :nauseated_face:

Title: I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
Body: England is mine, and it owes me a living

What a fucking bellend
