I seriously used to hate The Smiths because of How Soon is Now. That damned song was so over played, not to mention that it was subpar to begin with. Okay....the real reason was that every girl I wanted date had a severe crush on Morrissey and it did little good to explain to them that he was celibate. But after a few years I finally sat down and listened to the entire Louder Than Bombs cd and fell in love with the band. Here are the lyrics to my favorite Smiths song.
Half a Person

Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent 6 years on your trail
6 long years
on your trail.

Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent 6 years on your trail
6 full years of my life on your trail.

And if you have 5 seconds to spare
then I'll tell you the story of my life:
16, clumsy, and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y.....WCA
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 5 seconds to spare
then I'll tell you the story of my life:
16, clumsy, and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y....WCA
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?"

Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent too long on your trail
Far too long chasing your tail.

And if you have 5 seconds to spare
then I will tell you the story of my life:
16, clumsy, and shy
Thats the story of my life
16, clumsy, and shy
Thats the story of my life
Thats the story of my life
Story of my life
16, clumsy, and shy....
Thats the story of my life
Thats the story
The story......
