since we were talking about the meaning of the Femmes "blister in the sun"....

not sure songs get any sadder than this........I think they are going to start playing this in the background for Zoloft (joking)

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

 

one of the most brilliant songs ever

 

I'm not at all a Smiths fan, but I do love that song.

 

Haha, how about....
\Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight, for a Lunesta commercial?

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
Ive seen your face before my friend
But I dont know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where youve been
Its all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
And Ive been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord, oh lord

Well I remember, I remember dont worry
How could I ever forget, its the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you dont fool me
The hurt doesnt show; but the pain still grows
Its no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...

 

The Smiths, such a great band.

The GF and I were listening to "Strangeways here we come" over dinner tonight.

 

that was out my senior year in highschool i think...

i love listening to old smiths.... brings back lots of memories...

I lived in OC, MD 1990 summer....that was about the time Morressey broke off i think..... no $, but lots of beer and stupidity.

 

 

+2, That's a great song.

 

You should check out Snake River Conspiracy's cover of that Smiths song...totally awesome.
