The Smiths: A Melancholic Symphony of Sound

Formed in Manchester, England in 1982, The Smiths quickly rose to prominence as one of the most influential and iconic bands of the 1980s. With their unique blend of jangly guitars, introspective lyrics, and the distinctive vocals of lead singer Morrissey, The Smiths carved a niche for themselves in the alternative rock scene.

The band, consisting of Morrissey as the frontman, Johnny Marr on guitar, Andy Rourke on bass, and Mike Joyce on drums, created a sonic tapestry that resonated with a generation of angst-ridden youth. Their music was characterized by Marr's intricate guitar work, which effortlessly blended with Rourke's prominent bass lines, Joyce's precise drumming, and Morrissey's poetic and often deeply personal lyrics.

One of their most well-known albums, "The Queen is Dead," released in 1986, showcased the band at the peak of their creative powers. Featuring anthemic songs like "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" and "Bigmouth Strikes Again," the album captured the essence of The Smiths' sound, with its combination of melancholic lyrics and infectious melodies.

The Smiths' lyrics often touched on themes of alienation, loneliness, and unrequited love, striking a chord with listeners who found solace in the band's introspective musings. Morrissey's unique vocals, with his distinctive crooning and dramatic delivery, added an element of theatricality to their songs, further enhancing their emotional impact.

Throughout their career, The Smiths released several critically acclaimed albums, including "Meat Is Murder" (1985), "Strangeways, Here We Come" (1987), and "Hatful of Hollow" (1984), a compilation album showcasing their early singles and BBC sessions.

Unfortunately, disputes and tensions within the band led to their breakup in 1987. However, The Smiths' legacy lives on, as their influence can be heard in numerous indie and alternative bands today. Their musical style continues to captivate listeners with its timeless quality.

A list, playlist
A shy, bald, Buddhist reflect
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
A woman said : "I know my son is dead
Ah ! A jumped up pantry boy
Ah ... oh, no ... oh, no
All those people, all those lives
Am I still ill?
And a crack on the head
And a stalwart lover for sure
And broke my spleen and broke my knee
And death for no reason is murder
And death for no reason is murder
And don't go home tonight
And he dances again and again.
And he dances again, my God
And he grabs and devours
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
And her walkman started to melt
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
And I need to cling to something!"
And I want the one I can't have
And I want to see life
And i'll send you mine
And I'm welcome no more
And I've got no right to take my place
And if a ten ton truck
And if you ever need self validation
And if you have five seconds to spare
And it's driving me mad
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
And oh, the plans they weave
And the calf that you carve with a smile
And the flesh you so fancifully fry
And the flesh you so fancifully fry
And then he really lays into me
And then produce the text
And who hears when animals cry?
And you go home and you cry and you want to die
And you must be looking very old tonight
Any man could get used to
As a bad mistake
As natural as Rain
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
As you savour the flavour of murder
Ask me why, and I'll die
Ask me, ask me, ask me
At the record company meeting
At the record company party
Because I haven't got one
Because I haven't got one
Because I want to see people
Because it's not my home, it's their home
Because of:
Belligerent ghouls
Bigmouth
Bigmouth
Bigmouth
Bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
Bigmouth strikes again
Bigmouth strikes again
BPI, MTV, BBC
Bruises bigger than dinner plates
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
But it goes on
But no more apologies
But now you know the truth about me
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
But they can never taint you in my eyes
But you could have said no
But you could have said no If you'd wanted to
But you lose
Call me morbid, call me pale
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death
Catches up with your biology
Catches up with your biology
Catches up with your biology
Catches up with your biology
Cemented minds
Climber new entry, re entry
Combatting ignorance, dust with disease
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
Come out and find the one you love
Crashes into us
Decides to try to catch up with your biology
Dig a shallow grave
Do
Do
Do you really think she'll pull through?
Down the nape of my neck
For a Back scrubber?"
For a child cries :
Friday night in out patients
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
Give up education
Goodbye
Had no one never
Hang the blessed dj
Hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj, hang the dj
Hang the dj, hang the dj, hang the dj
He does the military two step
He kicks me in the showers
He killed a policeman when he was
He killed a policeman when he was thirteen
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things.
He knows so much about these things.
He said "return the ring"
He said "return the ring"
Hindley wakes and Hindley says :
Hopelessly poor
I am human and I need to be loved
I am human and I need to be loved
I am the son and the heir
I crashed down on the crossbar
I danced my legs down to the knees
I don't care where you're going..."
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to wake up
I dunno..
I go about things the wrong way?
I know it's serious
I know it's serious
I like it here can I stay?
I like it here can I stay?
I never never want to go home
I said: "I like it here can I stay?
I think I can rely on you
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
I touched you at the soundcheck
I want the one I can't have
I want the one I can't have
I want to cry
I want to go home
I was detained, I was restrained
I was fawning, I was boring
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
I wonder to myself
I would go out tonight
I'm so sick and tired
I've spent six years on your trail
If you'd wanted to You could have said no
In my life
Is it wrong not to always be glad?
Is just what you get
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
Is such a heavenly way to die
Is what you get for asking
It became four
It is murder
It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead To really really open her eyes
It's all over, all over, all over my face
It's all over, all over, all over my face
It's death for no reason
It's not comforting, cheery or kind
It's not natural, normal or kind
It's written all over my face
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Just another false alarm
Just another false alarm
Just like everybody else does
Just meet me in the alley by the
Keats and Yeats are on your side
Kicks me in the showers
Kills the both of us
Kills the both of us
Last night I dreamt
Let me get what I want
Let me, let me, let me
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Mid week on the playing fields
Must be taken in hand
My, my, my, my, my, my baby
Nature is a language, can't you read?
No ... no, no
No ... no, no, no
No hope, no harm
No No No It is Murder
No No No It is Murder
No No No It is Murder
No no no...
No, it's not wrong but i must know
No, they cannot hurt you, my darling
No, we cannot cling to those dreams
Nothing's changed
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
Oh ...
Oh John, you'll never be a man
Oh please don't drop me home
Oh, it makes none
Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
Oh, these are the riches of the poor
Oh, you did a good thing
Oh...
On a hillside desolate
On my own anymore
On the day that your mentality
On the day that your mentality
On the leeds side streets that you slip down
Only slightly, only slightly less
Other girl's mothers
Panic on the streets of birmingham
Panic on the streets of london
Please excuse me from gym
Punctured bicycle
Railway station
Raised on prisoner's aid
Re evaluate the songs
Run Manchester schools
Run Manchester schools
Same old jokes since 1902
Satiate the need
Send me the pillow ..
She said: "In the days when you were
She was left behind, and sour
She'd sit and prophesise
Sheila take a, sheila take a bow
Shyness is nice, and shyness can stop you
Sing me to sleep
Sing words so sad?
Sir leads the troops
Sir thwacks you on the knees
So ask me, ask me, ask me
So for once in my life
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
So if there's something you'd like to try
So let's go where we're wanted
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
So, what difference does it make?
Some girl's mothers are bigger than
Some girl's mothers are bigger than
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Stop me if you think
Stop me, oh, oh o, stop me
Take me out tonight
Take me out tonight
Take me out tonight
That somebody loved me
That will bring us together
That you've heard this one before
That you've heard this one before
That's 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 devil will find work for idle hands to do
The leeds side streets that you slip down
The one that you dream on ..
The words you use should be your own
Then I'll tell you the story of my life:
Then I'll tell you the story of my life:
Then I'll tell you the story of my life:
Then it's the bomb that will bring us together
Then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
These are the riches of the poor
They cannot touch you now
They don't want to believe us
They were born
Thirteen
This beautiful creature must die
This is no easy ride
To die by your side
To die by your side
To people who don't care if I live or die?
To the Human race
To the Human race
Turn bad
Under the iron bridge we kissed
Vicar in a tutu
We may be dead and we may be gone
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Well, I'm still fond of you
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
What she read
When I said by rights you should be
When you fall
When you walk without ease
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Who comes sliding down the bannister?
Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know
Who do you know?
Who never knew his place
Who never knew his place
Who said I'd lied?
Why pamper life's complexity
Will nature make a man of me yet?
Will they ever believe me?
With loves and hates
Wouldn't cover the head of a goose
Yeeaa!
Yes, you could say we're a team
You could meet somebody who really loves you
You had no real way of knowing
You kick them when they fall down
You might sleep
You might sleep
You shut your mouth, how can you say
'Cause I want the one I can't have
"How come someone hasn't noticed
"Please the Press in Belgium!"
"You've been in the house too long" she said
