Smiths - Miserable Lie (Tate) lyrics

rate me

So, goodbye <br />

Please stay with your own kind <br />

And I'll stay with mine <br />

<br />

There's something against us <br />

It's not time <br />

It's not time <br />

So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye <br />

<br />

<br />

I know I need hardly say <br />

How much I love your casual way <br />

Oh, but please put your tongue away <br />

A little higher and we're well away <br />

The dark nights are drawing in <br />

And your humour is as black as them <br />

I look at yours, you laugh at mine <br />

And "love" is just a miserable lie <br />

You have destroyed my flower-like life <br />

Not once - twice <br />

You have corrupt my innocent mind <br />

Not once - twice <br />

I recognise that mystical air <br />

It means : I'd like to see your underwear <br />

I know the wind-swept mystical air <br />

It means : I'd like to see your underwear <br />

What do we get for our trouble and pain ?<br />

Just a rented room in Whalley Range <br />

What do we get for our trouble and pain ?<br />

...Whalley Range ! <br />

Into the depths of the criminal world <br />

I followed her ... <br />

<br />

<br />

I need advice, I need advice <br />

I need advice, I need advice <br />

Nobody ever looks at me twice <br />

Nobody ever looks at me twice <br />

<br />

<br />

I'm just a country-mile behind <br />

The world <br />

<br />

<br />

I'm just a country-mile behind <br />

The whole world <br />

Oh oh, oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

I'm just a country-mile behind <br />

The world <br />

<br />

<br />

I'm just a country-mile behind <br />

The whole world <br />

Oh oh, oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

Take me when you go <br />

Oh oh, oh... <br />

<br />

<br />

Take me when you go <br />

Oh oh, oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

I need advice, I need advice
