The Smiths Complete

All Four of the Studio Albums, and the Four Compilation Albums have be completed.

Please enjoy the lyrics.

I Keep Mine Hidden

I Keep Mine Hidden

Hate, love and war

Force emotions to the fore

But not for me

Of course, of course

I keep mine hidden

But it's so easy for you

Because you let yours flail

Into public view

Oh, oh

Yellow and green

A stumbling block

I'm a twenty-digit combination to unlock

With a past where to be touched

Meant to be mental

Ooh, I keep mine hidden

The lies are so easy for you

Because you let yours slide

Into public view

Oh, Oh

(Marr / Morrissey)

Work Is A Four-Letter Word

Work Is A Four-Letter Word

Loving you is driving me crazy

People say that you were born lazy

Cause you say that

Work Is A Four-Letter Word

So change your life

There is so much I know

That you can do

Come and see

Wide-awake

And take all of this love

That is waiting for you

If you stay

I'll stay right beside you

And my love

May help to remind you

To forget that

Work Is A Four-Letter Word

I don't need

A house that's a showplace

I just feel

That we're going no place

While you say that

Work Is A Four-Letter Word

So change your life

There is so much I know

You can do

Come and see me

Wide-awake

And take all of this love

That is waiting for you

If you stay

I'll stay right beside you

And my love

Might help to remind you

To forget that

Work Is A Four-Letter Word

I don't need

A house that's a showplace

I just feel

That we're going no place

While you say that

Work Is A Four-Letter Word

So change your life

There is so much I know

That you can do

Please come and see

Wide-awake

And take all of this love

That is waiting for you

(Woolfenden / Black)

Golden Lights

Golden Lights

Golden lights displaying your name

Golden lights it's a terrible shame

But oh my darling

Why did you change ?

Boy in a million, idol, a big star

I didn't tell you how great you are

I didn't grovel and scream

And rip your brand new jacket at the seams

You made a record, they liked your singing

All of a sudden the phone stops ringing

I never thought that you would let

The glory make you forget

Golden lights displaying your name

Golden lights it's a terrible shame

But oh my darling

Why did you change ?

Top ten idol, king of your age

Who do you turn to when you're backstage?

Don't you remember you once knew a girl

You loved her more than the world

Is life always like this, brother?

Good for one side but bad for another

I must put you behind me tonight

Cause you belong to the lights

Those golden lights displaying your name

Golden lights it's a terrible shame

But oh my darling

Why did you change ?

Oh, oh my darling

Why?

Why did you change?

Oh ...

(Marr / Morrissey)

Sweet And Tender Hooligan

Sweet And Tender Hooligan

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

And he said that he'd never, never do it again

And of course he won't oh

not until the next time

He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

And he swore that he'll never, never do it again

And of course he won't

oh, not until the next time

Poor old man

He had an accident with a three-bar fire

But that's Okay

Because he wasn't very happy anyway

Poor woman

Strangled in her very own bed as she read

But that's Okay

Because she was old and she would have died anyway

Don't blame

The sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

Because he'll never, never, never, never, never, never do it again

No, not until the next time

Jury, you've heard every word

So before you decide

Would you look into those Mother me eyes

I love you for you, my love, you my love

You my love, you my love

Jury, you've heard every word

But before you decide

Would you look into those Mother me eyes

I love you for you my love, you my love

I love you just for you, my love

Don't blame

The sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan

Because he'll never, never do it again

And In the midst of life we are in death ETC

Don't forget the hooligan, hooligan

Because he'll never, never do it again

And In the midst of life we are in death ETC.

ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC!

In the midst of life we are in death ETC!

ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC!

In the midst of life we are in death ETC!

Just will you free me?

Will you find me?

Will you free me?

Will you find me?

Will you free me, free me, free me, free me, free me, free me?

Jury will you free me?

Will you find me?

Will you free me?

Will you find me?

How will you find me, find me, find me, find me, find me,find me?

ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC!

In the midst of life we are in death ETC!

Oh, oh...

(Marr / Morrissey)

Sheila Take A Bow

Sheila Take A Bow

Is it wrong to want to live on your own?

No, it's not wrong but I must know

How can someone so young

Sing words so sad?

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow

Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear

And don't go home tonight

Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you

The one that you love and who loves you

Is it wrong not to always be glad?

No it's not wrong but I must add

How can someone so young

Sing words so sad?

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow

Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear

And don't go home tonight

Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you

The one that you love and who loves you

Take my hand and off we stride

Oh, la la la ...

You're a girl and I'm a boy

La la la ...

Take my hand and off we stride

Oh, la la la...

I'm a girl and you're a boy

La la la...

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow

La la la...

Throw your homework onto the fire

Come out and find the one that you love

Come out and find the one you love

(Marr / Morrissey)

Is It Really So Strange

Is It Really So Strange

I left the north

I travelled south

I found a tiny house

And I can't help the way that I feel

Oh yes, you can kick me

And you can punch me

And you can break my face

But you won't change the way I feel

Cause I love you, oh

And is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so, really so strange?

I say No, you say Yes

And you will change your mind

I left the South

I traveled North

I got confused, I killed a horse

I can't help the way that I feel

Oh yes, you can punch me

And you can butt me

And you can break my spine

But you won't change the way I feel

'Cause I love you, oh

And is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so, really so strange?

I say No, you say Yes

But you will change your mind

I left the North again

I traveled South again

And I got confused, I killed a nun

I can't help the way I feel

I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell

Why is the last mile the hardest mile?

My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes

And I realized, I realized

I could never, I could never,

Never, never, go back home again

(Marr / Morrissey)

Rubber Ring

Rubber Ring

A sad fact widely known

The most impassionate song

To a lonely soul

Is so easily outgrown

But don't forget the songs

That made you smile

And the songs that made you cry

When you lay in awe

On the bedroom floor

And said Oh, oh, smother me Mother

Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring

The passing of time

And all of it's crimes

Is making me sad again

The passing of time

And all of it's sickening Rhymes

Is making me sad again

But don't forget the songs

That made you cry

And the songs that saved your life

Yes you're older now

And you're a clever swine

But they were the only ones who ever stood by you

The passing of time leaves empty lives

Waiting to be filled the passing

The passing of time

Leaves empty lives

Waiting to be filled

I'm here with the cause

I'm holding the torch

In the corner of your room

Can you hear me?

And when you're dancing and laughing

And finally living

Hear my voice in your head

And think of me kindly

Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring

Do you love me like you used to

Do you

Love me like you used to?

Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring

You're clever

Everybody's clever nowadays

You're clever

Everybody's clever nowadays

You are sleeping

You do not want to believe

You are sleeping

You do not want to believe

You are sleeping

You do not want to believe

You are sleeping

(Marr / Morrissey)

You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby

You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby

If you're wondering why

All the love that you long for eludes you

And people are rude and cruel to you

I'll tell you why

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You just haven't earned it, son

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You must suffer and cry for a longer time

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

And I'm telling you now

If you're wondering why

When all I wanted from life was to be famous

I have tried for so long it's all gone wrong

I'll tell you why

But you wouldn't believe me

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You just haven't earned it, son

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You must suffer and cry for a longer time

You just haven't earned it yet, Baby

And I'm telling you now

I'll tell you why

Today I am remembering the time

When they pulled me back

And held me down

And looked me in the eyes and said

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You just haven't earned it, my son

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You must stay on your own for slightly longer

You just haven't earned it yet baby

And I'm telling you now

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

Oh, oh

(Marr / Morrissey)

Stretch Out And Wait

Stretch Out And Wait

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

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 impulses sway

This way and that way

This way that way

God, how sex implores you

To let yourself lose yourself

Stretch out and wait

Let your puny body

Lie down, lie down

As we lie, you say

Stretch out and ...

Stretch out and wait

Let your puny body lie down, lie down

And 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

What 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 consciously contemplate

When there's no debate, no debate?

Stretch out and wait

Wait, wait, wait

(Marr / Morrissey)

Half A Person

Half A Person

Call me morbid, call me pale

I've spent six years on your trail

Six long years

On your trail

Call me morbid, call me pale

I've spent six years on your trail

Six full years of my life on your trail

And if you have five seconds to spare

Then I'll tell you the story of my life

Sixteen clumsy and shy

I went to London and I

I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.

I said I like it here can I stay?

I like it here can I stay?

Do you have a vacancy

For a Back-scrubber?

She was left behind, and sour

And she wrote to me, equally dour

She said In the days when you were

Hopelessly poor

I just liked you more

And if you have five seconds to spare

Then I'll tell you the story of my life

Sixteen clumsy and shy

I went to London and I

I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.

I said : "I like it here - can I stay?

I like it here can I stay?

And do you have a vacancy

For a Back-scrubber?

Call me morbid, call me pale

I've spent too long on your trail

Far too long

Chasing your tail

And if you have five seconds to spare

Then I'll tell you the story of my life

Sixteen clumsy and shy

That's the story of my life

Sixteen clumsy and shy

The story of my life

That's the story of my life

The story of my life

That's the story of my life

(Marr / Morrissey)

Unloveable

Unloveable

I know I'm unloveable

You don't have to tell me

I don't have much in my life

But take it, it's yours

I don't have much in my life

But take it, it's yours

I know I'm unloveable

You don't have to tell me

Oh, message received

Loud and clear

I don't have much in my life

But take it, it's yours

I know I'm unloveable

You don't have to tell me

Full message received

Loud and clear

Message received

I don't have much in my life

But take it, it's yours

I wear Black on the outside

Cause Black is how I feel on the inside

I wear Black on the outside

Cause Black is how I feel on the inside

And if I seem a little strange

Well that's because I am

And if I seem a little strange

That's because I am

But I know that you would like me

If only you could see me

If only you could meet me

I don't have much in my life

But take it, it's yours

I don't have much in my life

But take it, it's yours

Mmm

(Marr / Morrissey)

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well

Bye X 4

(Marr / Morrissey)

Shoplifters Of The World Unite

Shoplifters Of The World Unite

Learn to love me

Assemble the ways

Now today tomorrow and always

My only weakness is a listed crime

My only weakness is well

Never mind, never mind

Shoplifters of the world

Unite and take over

Shoplifters of the world

Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over

Learn to love me

And assemble the ways

Now today tomorrow and always

My only weakness is a listed crime

But last night the plans of a future war

Was all I saw on Channel Four

Shoplifters of the world

Unite and take over

Shoplifters of the world

Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over

A heartless hand on my shoulder

A push and it's over

Alabaster crashes down

Six months is a long time

Tried living in the real world

Instead of a shell

But before I began

I was bored before I even began

Shoplifters of the world

Unite and take over

Shoplifters of the world

Unite and take over

Shoplifters of the world

Unite and take over

Shoplifters of the world

Take over

(Marr / Morrissey)
