#thesmithshits

When I grew up Green Day were “my band” and I’m quite happy with that. Though sometimes I do wish that I were 15 years older and it could have been The Smiths.

It’s also FA Cup final day today, and it’s a Manchester derby – and The Smiths are from Manchester, so sort of seems fitting. Obviously it’ll be one hell of an upset should United beat the monster that is City, but on the big stage there is always a chance of an upset (or at least a mass brawl and some spendings off)

It’s also made me realise that I’ve been missing a trick with limiting the #specialeditionshits to just genres of music and need to be doing locations too! Can already hear #canadashits being a smash!

This Charming Man – The Smiths

💩💩💩💩💩

“I would go out tonight
But I haven’t got a stitch to wear
This man said, “It’s gruesome
That someone so handsome should care“

What Difference Does It Make? – The Smiths

💩💩💩💩💩

“The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why?
Because you asked me to!
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I’ve only got two hands
Well, I’m still fond of you, oh-ho-oh“

Cemetery Gates – The Queen Is Dead

💩💩💩💩💩

“A dreaded sunny day
So let’s go where we’re happy
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
Oh, Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
So let’s go where we’re wanted
And I meet you at the cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
But you lose
‘Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine“

Big-mouth Strikes Again – The Queen Is Dead

💩💩💩💩💩

“Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I’d like to smash every tooth
In your head”

The Boy With The Thorn In His Side – The Queen Is Dead

💩💩💩💩💩⭐

“The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred, there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don’t believe me?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don’t believe me?
And if they don’t believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don’t believe me now
Will they ever, they ever believe me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh”

There Is Light That Never Goes Out – The Queen Is Dead

💩💩💩💩💩

“And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine“

Girlfriend In A Coma – Stangeways, Here We Come

💩💩💩💩💩

Panic – The World Won’t Listen

💩💩💩💩💩

Ask – The World Won’t Listen

💩💩💩💩💩

“Coyness is nice, and coyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life that you want 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?”

Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want – Louder Than Bombs

💩💩💩💩💩

“Haven’t had a dream in a long time
See, the life I’ve had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time”
