The Smiths - I Want the One I Can't Have

"The Smiths - I Want the One I Can't Have" is a song by the influential British alternative rock band The Smiths. Released in 1987 as part of their album "Strangeways, Here We Come," the song showcases the band's signature jangly guitars and melancholic lyrics. Lead vocalist Morrissey delivers heart-wrenching yet sardonic vocals, while Johnny Marr's intricate guitar work shines through. The rhythm section, consisting of Andy Rourke on bass and Mike Joyce on drums, provides the track with a tight and driving backbone. "I Want the One I Can't Have" explores themes of unattainable desire and longing, making it a standout track in The Smiths' catalog.

A double bed
A double bed
A double bed and a stalwart lover for sure
A double bed and a stalwart lover for sure
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
And a stalwart lover for sure
And I want the one I can't have
And if you ever need self validation
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
And it's driving me mad
And it's written all over my face
And somehow that really impressed
And somehow that really impressed me
But it's written all over my face
Come 'round 'cause I want the one I can't have
Come round ...
Decides to try to catch up with your biology
I want the one I can't have
I want the one I can't have
It's all over my face
It's all over my face
It's all over, all over my face
It's all over, all over my face
It's all over, all over, all over my face
It's all over, all over, all over my face
It's written all over my face
Just meet me in the alley by the railway station
Me
Oh ...
Oh, these are the riches of the poor
On the day that your mentality
On the day that your mentality
On the day that your mentality
On the day that your mentality
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
These are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor
