General Comment Most likely one of the best songs of all time - So straight and to the point The lyrics in combination with the music just refuses to leave me alone.
A perfect fusion of music and lyric. Simple, but raw. The Song is so beautiful, haunting, it never leaves you.. The last 30 seconds of Marr's guitar just get me, and Morrissey rarely sings better.
CharmingMan on July 12, Link. General Comment to me it is the saddest smiths-song My Opinion To me. The lyrics sound like its about someone you were with and deeply in love with.
And whenever you see them they seem like they have moved on. God yes. That is exactly what it is General Comment This song never fails to make me teary-eyed. I would hold you in my arms I would take the pain away Thank you for all you've done Forgive all your mistakes. I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever and the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart. If there's love just feel it And if there's life we'll see it This is no time to be alone, alone yeah I won't let you go. If heaven wasn't so far away I'd pack up the kids and go for the day Introduce them to their grandpa Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks.
Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be ashamed to cry Let me see you through 'cause I've seen the dark side too. And I know, you're a part of me And it's your song that sets me free I sing it while I feel I can't hold on I sing tonight cause it comforts me. In the arms of an Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here.
And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am. Oh where, oh where, can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band. Oh now feel it comin' back again like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind forces pullin' from the center of the earth again I can feel it.
You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you Now we're torn, torn, torn apart. I've been holding out so long I've been sleeping all alone Lord I miss you I've been hanging on the phone I've been sleeping all alone I want to kiss you.
My lover's gone his boots no longer by my door he left at dawn and as I slept I felt him go. Nobody knows Nobody knows but me That I sometimes cry If I could pretend that I'm asleep When my tears start to fall I peek out from behind these walls I think nobody knows Nobody knows no. So long ago, I don't remember when That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees.
I can still feel you hold my hand, little man And even the moment I knew You fought it hard like an army guy Remember I leaned in and whispered to you. We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness But neither one knew how.
And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day Well I promise you you'll see the sun again And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness And I promise you you'll see the sun again. Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you too Don't forget me, I beg I remember you said. For you, there'll be no more crying For you, the sun will be shining And I feel that when I'm with you It's alright, I know it's right.
You're not gone you're still here With me all the time You're still here When I close my eyes I still see you I still feel you. I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life. And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part You really broke my heart And I tried to sing But I couldn't think of anything And that was the hardest part.
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. In my dreams I'll always see you soar Above the sky In my heart There will always be a place For you for all my life. If you're lost you can look - and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting Time after time. And I see that it makes me anti everything And I see that it makes me want to shed my skin, shed my skin.
Revelation leading to my psychosis and inspiration Digest another hallucination, psychosis by recreation Happy till the next deterioration, psychosis. For you it's a different notion of music and motion A dance of lights, a prosaic ocean A delicate, nearly transparent creation of somebody's soul on the screen Has caught you in between Of somebody's life on the stage and somebody's life on the frontpage And this is where we all should see red A big fat laughing mouth of red.
I think I'm gonna start my own religion Seems to be the recipe for a new sensation Think it's gonna make a trendy revolution Quite the contribution to the unnatural selection.
You've been biting bullets all these years, I know There beside yourself, choking on tears And you aced avoiding possibility When you placed your bets on bittersweet. Cos the love you used to feel is still there, inside It may be a faded photograph, but I know you care, so don't hide If you're scared, I'm here beside you If you get lost I'm here to guide you And I give you peace when peace is fragile Love is all the good in you Love is peace when peace is fragile.
You've been going out of way to agree Like you've been rubbing yourself all wrong Just to be somebody else's genie Catering to your disaster's every need Waiting to finally be set free. Looking at the road that rises up ahead I thought I'd learned a thing or two But this is where it's all made new N' I gotta throw my hands up I can't go on if I can't stop. Look the leaves are dead The moments gone, there's no surrender Forever now unsaid The words that might've warmed December Cos it's all inside your head Like fragments of a dream you remember So never mind, your clever mind, never mind me.
Staring at the ceiling from my bed I thought I'd earned a chance or few Thought I'd be paid in due Time isn't made for waiting Past isn't worth debating. Feeling like a fool again Just need a new direction A new beginning, a new beginning I can't hold back and I can't hold on It's all about gratification See me running, see me running. She can see about four satellites every minute of the hour And find a four leaf clover where you never saw a flower She's habitually paradoxical, a parallel perpendicular.
Barefoot in nightgowns, that's how she dances in the rain Sundown to sundown, like she was washing 'way her pain. As she is beautiful, she's unpredictable Damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her She is my common sense, revels on decadence But what's the difference, it's impossible to bait her.
She can really be a handful like the brownies that she bakes you It can be a tad hysterical, but never quite the breakthrough She's some kind of an epitome, the sea of intranquility. In flimsy nightgowns, barefoot she dances in the rain Sundown to sundown, like she was washing 'way her pain. As she is beautiful, she's unpredictable Damned irresistible, is it plausible to hate her She is my common sense, revels on decadence But what's the difference, it's an impossible debate.
In these days of manmade wonders we still bicker over flies When you come seeking for forgiveness, I'll be forced to choose my side. If I deny you what you're searching, do I do it out of fear Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear. Out of my way I'm running, with an excuse just underway Reality's so daunting, and I've got no way to explain.
Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one So when I hear you calling my name, why do I turn away and run I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears. In the light of recent findings, there's no greater taint than grace But to relinquish all our bindings, always finds us out of place. If I rested here a while more, would you hold me to your heart If I knew what it's meant for, would I know to play my part.
Out of my way I'm leaving, another excuse before I'll stay Reality's applauding, I know I don't know the right way. Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one So when I hear you calling my name, yeah, I know you're the one I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears.
Is it a lost cause Can we overlook this taint Are these the dead laws Like a doubt eating the saint. And though I fear these shackles, like my darkness closing in I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands. Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one So when I hear you calling my name, I know the good I've done I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears Crying heaven shed your diamonds. Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one So when I hear you calling my name, I know the good I've done I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears.
This is my toothpaste moment, oh, I'll need to flash a smile I'll be the super-absorbent-man, watch them flock to me in single file And I'll need to do it with style, I need to keep me up to date Swallowing the sun run another mile, it's overrated how we underrate. I dance in tune with what I fear To do adrenaline Completely rapt with what I hear. When passion colors everything The songs I sing, from way out there to deep within The face I wear behind my grin The price I pay for my original sin Everything, everything, everything.
I have a mind for simple things, but things are not of mind to simplify There's always some loophole technicality you buy into and pay until you die Money doesn't bring me joy, it's more like a darling dead weight And I seem to have lost my appetite, it's underrated how we overrate.
I dance entangled with my dear She pulls my every string Completely trapped yet never here. And when I'm finally brought to my senses Parade the rain on my parade Before I'm back to my defenses To watch the whole thing escalate. Gotta get a hold of myself I see them gathering around And they need me to do their will. Save me I'm my own worst enemy Running headlong to the wall cos I want my freebie Save me You're the only out I see N' I need your love the most when I least deserve it.
Gotta get a shot of something Before I'll enter the ring Gimme just a minute, just a minute. Did I really ask for all this Did I really cut open the goose Just to lose what's in it. If I wanna be the man Should I open my wrist again To find the way in Yeah, if I wanna be the one I'll need to get me that interview To get that audition.
That's myself in the mirror Funny I should see only headlines and ads to my name I was told I'd see my ally Who are these skeletons with guns taking aim.
On your palm an endless wonder The lines that speak the truth without a sound And in your eyes awaits the tireless hunger Already looks for prey to run down. So why do we keep up this charade N' how do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait.
What does tomorrow want from me What does it matter what I see If it can't be my design Tell me where do we draw the line Tell me where do we draw the line. The dance of flames and shadows in the street Make poetry nobody's ever heard The weight of loneliness stands on your feet The cage already there around the bird.
So why don't we join the masquerade Before it falls apart, before our love becomes insatiate. What does tomorrow want from me What does it matter what I see If I can't choose my own design Tell me where do we draw the line. What does tomorrow want from me What does it matter what I see If we all walk behind the blind Tell me where do we draw the line Tell me where do we draw the line. Where's the cooling wind Where's the evergreen field Where's my mother's open arms Where's my father lionheart S'like the sun's gone down Sleeps in the hallowed ground now With the autumn's browns leaves With the one who never grieves.
What does tomorrow want from me What does it matter what I see If it can't be my design Tell me where do we draw the line. Whatever tomorrow wants from me At least I'm here, at least I'm free Free to choose to see the signs This is my line. It's a bit like a trip, but you hit it with a slip of a tongue Like a whip, and we're sinking It ain't cool to be cool, though you may think it a laudable tool Of self evaluation, of ego cultivation N' I'm rolling my eyes like the stones for the lies Is it really all about the size or just a simple vice I feel the fire flare alight inside me Higher so I can see N' aspire to survive this fight in spite of Liars and travesty Oh fire.
Did you think that I'd blink, that I'd go and take the ink to your control That I'd sell my soul And does it ring any bells that it sells That we're living out of shells in a shotgun If we couldn't shoot, we'd have to run And finally the cerebral fantasy Better genes and machines, so we can die looking like we're teens Like snapshot scenes in smithereens The devil may smile with an angel's face A cat may be stolen of its grace They say it's just a matter of time and place.
A man may be less than an animal The antichrist write up the honor roll The tightrope walker take the final fall At his house, in the bathroom, on a holiday, and that's in the news. Oh, the things you see Makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah, When arrogance does publicity, Smiling happily. The begging boy becomes the begging man The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb And a child wants to know if the Candyman can.
Everybody wants the fancy car And we've all been told not to run too far But everybody wants to be a rock'n'roll star.
Oh, the things you see Makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah, When ignorance spreads conformity, Smiling happily. D' you breath the name of your saviour in your hour of need N' taste the blame if the flavor should remind you of greed, Of implication, insinuation and ill will, till' you cannot lie still In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil come closing in for a kill.
Come feed the rain Cos I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust. Yeah feed the rain Cos without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust. It's all a game, avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don't need I lust for after no disaster can touch us anymore And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before.
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning. They're locking up the sun, the light of reason gone N' hope has been successfully undone The question's burning on, where is it coming from No-one seems to know the monster born. It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible And find a way to break the fall, find out the cure for all.
Is there a hero somewhere, someone who appears and saves the day Someone who holds out a hand and turns back time Is there a hero somewhere, someone who will never walk away Who doesn't turn a blind eye to a crime.
They're locking up the sun, they have their chosen one You know this time they'll make him play along They're taking to the arms, the fathers and their sons There's nowhere left to run and hide. Here at the station, standing in the rain Lost in my train of thought Looking around for a better time again But yesterday ain't running on this track.
Like gravity like love, You get up after you fall Like gravity like love I'm not afraid anymore Like gravity like love, You get up after you fall, I ain't afraid no more. Out of no reason I've decided to stay Present a solution, to the problem Typical of me, that I concentrate on the destination So much that I miss the journey there and back.
I worry that I can't give you what you need That you'll find nothing underneath the peel That I can't undo the times we disagreed That I can't ignore the way I feel. If what I feel is the only truth And what I give out will make up what I'll receive Can I leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe? I believe. Could you hold us up if I would drag us down? Resurrect emotions from our past N' if they had a king for fools would you wear the crown? Build us up again and make us last. If what I feel is the only truth And what I give out will make up what I'll receive Can I still leave behind my naivete of youth?
And if we don't worry about a thing Will we be sorry when the rain is falling again And what does it matter If fortune should favor It's never the final amen. I've walked the distance, I paid my dues And tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real Held no appeal I've been to places, I've seen the tidings I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal.
And so I came to gaze upon the stars When they were yet unborn And consequently, tear at my old scars And the mask I had outworn. Grow me a garden of roses Paint me the colors of sky and rain Teach me to speak with their voices Show me the way and I'll try again. I've heard the rumors, started fires I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need Behold the demons that I freed I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat But healing doesn't seem to happen When you hide away the seed.
And so I came across the medicine man And he showed me what I'd forlorn For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand And my own voice full of scorn. Without you I'm nothing at all And life has the face of a morbid game With you nothing seems impossible It all seems to fit the frame.
What never moves, is never still Who has the final word It holds the world in a single pill And all life rendered absurd.
Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial But can you run all your life Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar You can run but not hide So run for your life. Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial But can you run all your life Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar You can run but not hide. Given into this sensation, feel I've run too far Cannot see beyond emotion, see what the options are With no faith to trust the notion, I fear I'm losing all control.
Seems to matter what I do, so I'm saving this 4 U Cos it seems to be the last piece there is And you haven't had a chance yet to taste this Fragments of a life you shouldn't miss. Seems to matter what I say, so I'll hold my tongue at bay And rather use my mouth to kiss your frown away So your doubts no longer darken your day So you can hold your head up high come what may. Cos it seems to matter where I go, I will always let you know That the place where I am is never far You know, you're not alone, don't be alarmed I'll find you no matter where you are.
I hear a sigh, longing for loving in this life The how and the why, that keeps us running through the night Touching divine, for me it has only your face I'm looking to find pieces of wisdom I've misplaced. I don't make the rules dear You don't hear the symphony I hear We don't get a dollar bill for every shining tear. Fictitious and so real Love's a onetime deal With a delicious dark appeal And a religious kind of zeal, yeah So precious, yet surreal Life's a onetime deal With a delicious dark appeal And a religious kind of zeal, yeah.
Witnessing fault in every pawn in the game The only one called proudly answers to my name No I don't know why love is a thief in the night The one that you try, is your most devoted guide. We don't make the rules dear We don't hear the symphony they hear We don't get a dollar bill for every shining tear.
So thank you for choosing me, playing me, displaying me And selling me to slavery, yeah Thank you for using me, flaying me, erasing me Awarding me for bravery. I'd stay the hand of god, but the war is on your lips How can I brace myself for razor blades on whips When everything with meaning is shattered, broken, screaming And I'm lost inside this darkness and I fear I won't survive.
I could pray and trick with a double tongue, but the only fool here's me I choose the way to go, but the road won't set me free Cos I wish you'd see me, baby, save me, I'm going crazy Tryin' to keep us real, keep us alive.
This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception We shouldn't wait for nothing to wait for Love me in this fable, babe, my heart is in your hand Our time is waiting right outside your door And maybe tomorrow is a better day. I do not deal the cards and I play a lousy hand I celebrate no victories and my promises are sand Against all this I contrast you, when all is lost the war is through Hey angel, dare the winds now we can fly.
This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception Why should I wait for nothing to wait for Let me love you in this fable, hold your heart in my hand Our time is waiting right outside your door And maybe tomorrow is a better day. This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception Why should I wait for nothing to wait for I won't cry for my solitude, lay my head and dream of you And hope that you'll come knocking on my door And maybe tomorrow is a better day I know tomorrow is a better day.
When darkness is no less than everything you've built become undone There's no fight and no flight, disaster leaves your passion overrun.
It's time to let go, it's time to carry on with the show Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn. Remembrance, can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow Don't lose it, don't refuse it, cos you cannot learn a thing you think you know. A new light is warm, shining down on you after the storm Don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn. Times when I just can't Bring myself to say it loud 'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry.
That is when it seems We move in circles day to day Twist the drama of the play to get us by. You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly Where all new wonders will appear. Like the other day I thought you won't be coming back I came to realize my lackluster dreams. And among the schemes And all the tricks we try to play Only dreams will hold their sway and defy.
I see you crying and it rains Washing away the bad days Washing away the pain loss brings. And then you smile though it aches Cos you don't believe in mistakes Just that we made a mess of things. When the deal that you made with love Is now a one way street, a one way street You feel you'll go overboard Cos you're incomplete, incomplete. You're not afraid to rely On any way you can try To learn to make some sense of things. And the way you say we'll get by With a little laugh we can fly You know the measure of hope that brings.
I hear you laughing like a child Instead of choking all riled Instead of staring at shortcomings. Just like the rain when you cried Washed out the stains of false pride You'll learn to make the best of things. Have a little more of not enough More of what is less but isn't love Little of the same you're dreaming of That's enough, that's enough. In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies Lonely street signs, power lines, they keep on flashing, flashing by.
And we keep driving into the night It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye And we keep driving into the night It's a late goodbye. Your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time Screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by. The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us Points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us Till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak.
I have a knack for perceiving things I can see how it sounds I can feel how it sings When you paint me an image of who you are I know it's the best by far.
So Don't, don't, don't mess my hair, if all you do is fake it Don't, don't, don't say you care, cos I could never shake it Don't, don't, don't mess with me Don't, don't, don't mess with me. No point of view is enough to quell The rigors of passion in this world I dwell If I'm going to scale the highest wall I'm gonna give it my all.
Riding along with this train of thought I see everything, I find all I sought And I try to kick the habit of trying to reach But there's something I do beseech. So please Don't, don't, don't mess my hair, if all you do is fake it Don't, don't, don't say you care, cos I could never shake it Don't, don't, don't mess with me Don't, don't, don't mess with me. I'll say it's not surprising You're sweet talking, mesmerizing, juicy and appetizing True But will I need to get over you.
Feels like my sun is rising Tick, tick, tick, synchronizing Readjusting, organizing me Is this fiction reality. Bless the uncompromising With no shame for advertising When my needs go through downsizing I need someone to pick up my beat. My dreams need realizing Candles on sugar icing Judgment and harmonizing Or it'll end up like before. Don't, don't, don't mess my hair, if all you do is fake it Don't, don't, don't say you care, cos I could never shake it Don't, don't, don't mess with me Don't, don't, don't mess with me.
More than you know it I'm aware Of this connection that we share I know it seems like sometimes I don't care But you are the colors that I wear.
It's been a few hours, nearly dawn You've been real quiet all along Now, I cannot help but think there's something wrong Hey baby, what's going on. If I have been thoughtless, let me know I can take a hint you know, though I'm a little slow Just don't keep it in you, lest it take root and grow The bottom line here's I love you so.
Morning comes slow today Memories push through from yesterday Where will I be tomorrow What do I have to show From my life Stay, I need you here for a new day to break Stay, I want you near, like a shadow in my wake. Flow with life down the drain Memories and force of will sustain Where will I be tomorrow What will be left to show.
It's the little things, little things, little things, that make the world The little things, little things, little things that make the world.
