Smiths - Cemetry Gates (Rank) lyrics

rate me

A dreaded sunny day <br />

I meet you at the cemetry gates <br />

Keats and Yeats are on your side <br />

A dreaded sunny day <br />

So I meet you at the cemetry gates <br />

Keats and Yeats are on your side <br />

While Wilde is on mine <br />

<br />

So we go inside and we gravely read the stones <br />

All those people all those lives<br />

Where are they now ? <br />

With loves, with hates <br />

With passions just like mine <br />

They were born <br />

And then they lived <br />

And then they died <br />

It seems so unfair <br />

Oh, I want to cry <br />

<br />

<br />

You say : "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn" <br />

And you claim these words as your own <br />

But I've read well, and I've heard them said <br />

A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more) <br />

If you must write prose and poems <br />

The word you use should be your own <br />

Don't plagiarise or take "on loan" <br />

There's always someone, somewhere <br />

With a big nose, who knows <br />

And trips you up and laughs <br />

When you fall <br />

Who'll trip you up and laugh <br />

When you fall <br />

<br />

<br />

You say : "Long done do does did"<br />

Words which could only be your own <br />

And then produce the text <br />

From whence was ripped <br />

(Some dizzy whore, 1804) <br />

<br />

<br />

A dreaded sunny day <br />

So let's go where we're happy <br />

And I meet you at the cemetry gates <br />

Oh, Keats and Yeats are on your side <br />

A dreaded sunny day <br />

So let's go where we're wanted <br />

And I meet you at the cemetry gates <br />

Keats and Yeats are on your side <br />

But you lose <br />

'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine <br />

<br />

<br />

Sure !
