Sheila Take a Bow (02:41)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
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
You're a girl and I'm a boy
Take my hand and off we stride
I'm a girl and you're a boy
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Throw your homework onto the fire
Come out and find the one that you love
Come out and find the one you love

Shoplifters of the World Unite (02:57)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crimes
My only weakness is.. well, never mind
SHOPLIFTERS of the world
Unite and take over
SHOPLIFTERS of the world
Hand it over

Learn to love me
And assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is listed crime
But last night the plans for 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

A heartless hand on my shoulder
A push and it's over
Alabaster crashes down
(Six months is a long time)
I 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
Take over

Sweet and Tender Hooligan (03:35)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
He was a sweet and tender hooligan
And he said that he'd never, never do it again
And of course he won't
(Not until the next time)

He was a sweet and tender hooligan
And he swore that he'd never, never do it again
And of course he won't
(Not until the next time)

Poor old man
He had an "accident" within a three bar fire
But that's OK
Because he wasn't very happy anyway
A poor woman
Strangled in her very own bed as she read
But that's OK
Because she was old and she would have died anyway
DON'T BLAME
This sweet and tender hooligan
Because he'll never, never.. never do it again
(Not until the next time)

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
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
This sweet and tender hooligan
Because he'll never, never do it again
And "In the midst of life we are in debt ETC"

Forget the hooligan
Because he'll never, never do it again
And "In the midst of life we are in debt ETC"

ETC ETC ETC ETC
"IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEBT ETC"

Half a Person (03:36)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
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 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 on the hour
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 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
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
The story of my life

London (02:06)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
Smoke
Lingers 'round your fingers
Train
Heave on - to Euston
Do you think you've made
The right decision this time?

You left
Your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad
Because you're leaving
But didn't you see the Jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind?
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time?

You left
Your girlfriend on the platform
With this really ragged notion
That you'll return
But she knows
That when he goes
He really goes
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time?

Panic (02:20)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
PANIC on the streets of London
PANIC on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again
On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmeres
But Honey-Pie you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's PANIC on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself

Burn down the Disco
Hang the blessed D.J.
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
Hang the blessed D.J.
Because the music they constantly play

On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
On the provincial towns you jog 'round
HANG THE D.J. HANG THE D.J. HANG THE D.J.
HANG THE D.J. HANG THE D.J. HANG THE D.J.
HANG THE D.J. HANG THE D.J. HANG THE D.J.

Shakespeare's Sister (02:09)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
Young bones groan
And the rocks below say:
"Throw your skinny body down, son!"
But I'm going to meet the one I love
So please, don't stand in my way
Because I'm going to meet the one I love
No, Mamma, let me go!

Young bones groan
And the rocks below say:
"Throw your white body down!"
But I'm going to meet the one I love
At last! At last! At last!
I'm going to meet the one I love
La-de-da la-de-da
No, Mamma, let me go!

I thought that if you had
An acoustic guitar
Then it meant that you were
A Protest Singer
Oh I can smile about it now
But at the time it was terrible
No, Mamma, let me go!

William, It Was Really Nothing (02:11)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down

And everybody's got to live their life
And God knows I've got to live mine
God knows I've got to live mine

William, it was really nothing
William, it was really nothing
It was your life

How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say:
"Would you like to marry me
And if you like you can buy the ring"
She doesn't care about anything

"Would you like to marry me
And if you like you can buy the ring"
I don't dream about anyone
Except myself

William, it was really nothing

William, William

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (03:35)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or I die?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or I die?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"Oh you've been in the house too long", she said
And I naturally fled
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
"Oh you've been in the house too long", she said
And I naturally fled

Why do I give valuable time

Ask (03:18)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
Shyness is nice and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life you'd like to

So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK me - I won't say no - How could I?

Coyness is nice and
Coyness can stop you
From saying all the things in life you'd like to

So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK me - I won't say no - How could I?

Spending warm Summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg
ASK me, ASK me, ASK me
ASK me, ASK me, ASK me
Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb..
That will bring us together

Nature is a language - can't you read?
Nature is a language - can't you read?

So ASK me, ASK me, ASK me
ASK me, ASK me, ASK me
Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb..
That will bring us together

If it's not Love
Than it's the Bomb, than it's the Bomb
That will bring us together

So ASK me, ASK me, ASK me
ASK me, ASK me, ASK me

These Things Take Time (02:23)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the sacred wunder-kind
You took me behind a dis-used railway line
And said: "I know a place where we can go
Where we are not known"
And you gave me something that I won't forget too soon

But I can't believe you'd ever care
And this is why you will never care

These things take time
I know that I'm
The most inept
That ever stepped

I'm spellbound but a woman divides
And the hills are alive with celibate cries
But you know where you came from
You know where you're going
And you know where you belong
You said I was ill and you were not wrong

But I can't believe you'd ever care
And this is why you will never care

These things take time
I know that I'm
The most inept
That ever stepped

Oh the alcoholic afternoons
When we sat in your room
They meant more to me
Than any, than any living thing on earth
They had more worth
Than any living thing on earth

Vivid and in your prime
You will leave me behind

You will leave me behind

Rubber Ring (03:48)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
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 say: "Oh, smother me, Mother!"

The passing of time
And all of its crimes
Is making me sad again
The passing of time
And all of its sickening crimes
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 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

Do you love me
Like you used to?

(YOU ARE SLEEPING
YOU DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE
YOU ARE SLEEPING)

Hand in Glove (03:14)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
No, it's not like any other love
This one is different because it's us
Hand in glove
We can go wherever we please
And everything depends upon
How near you stand to me
And if the people stare
Then the people stare
Oh I really don't know and I really don't care
It's not a shame, no..

Hand in glove
The Good People laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we've something they'll never have
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we've something they'll never have
And if the people stare
Then the people stare
Oh I really don't know and I really don't care
It's not a shame, no..

So hand in glove, I stake my claim
I'll fight to the last breath
If they dare touch a hair on your head
I'll fight to the last breath
For the Good Life is out there somewhere
So stay on my arms, you little charmer
But I know my luck too well
Yes I know my luck too well
And I'll probably never see you again
I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

Stretch Out and Wait (02:38)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
On the high-rise estate
What's at the back of your mind?
Oh, a three-day debate
On a high-rise estate
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 influences sway
This way and that way (this way)
This way and that way (this way)
God, how sex implores you
To let yourself lose yourself

STRETCH out and wait
STRETCH out and wait
Oh ... let your puny body, lie down, lie down
As we lie, you say
As we lie, you say
STRETCH out and ...
STRETCH out and wait
STRETCH out and wait
Oh ... let your puny body lie down, lie down

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 conciously contemplate
When there's no debate, no debate?
STRETCH out and wait
STRETCH out and wait
STRETCH out and wait
Wait
Wait
Wait
Wait

Unloveable (03:56)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
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
Message received
Loud and clear
Loud and clear
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

Asleep (04:09)
The Smiths • Louder Than Bombs
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
Bye.. Bye..
