The Smiths - A RUSH AND A PUSH AND THE LAND IS OURS lyrics

rate me

OH HELLO

I am the ghost of Troubled Joe

Hung by his pretty white neck

Some eighteen months ago

I travelled to a mystical time zone

And I missed my bed

And I soon came home

They said :

"There's too much caffeine

In your bloodstream

And a lack of real spice

In your life"

I said :

"Leave me alone

Because I'm alright, dad

Surprised to still

Be on my own..."

Oh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the strain of the pain again

A rush and a push and the land that

We stand on is ours

It has been before

So it shall be again

And people who are uglier than you and I

They take what they need, and just leave

Oh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again

A rush and a push and the land that

We stand on is ours

It has been before

So why can't it be now ?

And people who are weaker than you or I

They take what they want from life

Oh, but don't mention love

No - no, don't mention love !

A rush and a push and the land that

We stand on is ours

Your youth may be gone

But you're still a young man

So phone me, phone me, phone me

So phone me, phone me, phone me

Oh, I think I'm in love

Oh, I think I'm in love

Oh, I think I'm in love (think I'm in love)

Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv

Oh ...
