Hier nur eine kleine Auswahl:
„I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
Every sensible child will know what this means“
(Nowhere Fast)„And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine“
(There Is A Light That Never Goes Out)„Keats and Yeats are on your side
But you lose
'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine“
(Cemetry Gates)„I said Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil ?“
(The Queen Is Dead)„Nothing's changed
I still love you, oh, I still love you
…Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love“
(Stop Me, If You Think You´ve Heard This One Before)„I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)“
(Unhappy Birthday)--

Stimmt schon…

Last night I dreamed
That somebody loved me
No hope no harm
just another false alarm(Last Night I Dreamed That Somebody Loved Me)
Does the body rule the mind
or does the mind rule the body?
I dunno(Still Ill)
Will nature make a man of me yet?
(This Charming Man)
Ach, da gibt es so viele – unter anderem auch die von Dir gewählten, kramer. Ich hätte sie auch ausgesucht.

Hier nur eine kleine Auswahl:„And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine“
(There Is A Light That Never Goes Out)Die finde ich fast noch besser:
And if a double decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Such a heavenly Way to die--
Ja, „There Is A Light That Never Goes Out“ ist schon ganz großes Kino, das stimmt. Ich glaube, jeder verliebte Siebzehnjährige weiß genau, was mit den Lyrics des Songs gemeint ist und kann sich damit 1:1 identifizieren (vorausgesetzt natürlich, er ist leicht melodramatisch veranlagt… aber waren wir das nicht alle in dem Alter? ;) ). Ich für meinen Teil liebe diesen Song jedenfalls heiß und innig – auch wenn ich heute, sechs Jahre später, froh drüber bin, daß das mit dem „to die by your side“ nicht geklappt hat. Wir (meine damalige Angebetete, mit der es, wie sollte es anders sein, damals nichts geworden ist und ich) haben den Zehn-Tonnen-LKW glücklicherweise verpaßt… Wo sie sich jetzt rumtreibt, kann ich nicht mit Sicherheit sagen, aber: If you see her, say hello. :lol: (Auch wenn das nicht von den Smiths ist.)

„Kreuzberg ist so hart, dass sogar die Steine sagen: Wir sind zu weich für die Strasse. So hart ist Kreuzberg.“ (Catee)I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable nowIn my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die?In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I’d much rather kick in the eye?(Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now)

Es gibt 2 Arten von Menschen: Die einen haben geladene Revolver, die anderen buddeln.When you cycled by
then began all my dreams
the sadest sings i’ve ever seen
and you never knew how much I really like you
cause I never even told you
oh but I ment to
(Back To The Old House)Haven’t had a dream in a long time
see, the life I’ve had
can make a good man badSo 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
(Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want)I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged „Take me with you …
I don’t care where you’re going…“But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know…..
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
You’re just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harmSo, in my bedroom in those ‚ugly new houses‘
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my ‚true love‘
Will never meet again …
(Paint A Vulgar Picture)--
Und ich liege im Bett und ich muss gestehen ich habe große Lust mich noch mal umzudrehn‚Paint a Vulgar Picture‘ scheint hier eine beliebte Wahl zu sein – die Texte ist aber echt gut – besonders am Anfang:
‚At the record company meeting
On their hands a dead star
The sychophantic slags all say
I knew him first and I knew him well‘ich mag auch :
‚The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love‘ich finde die Texte von ‚Reel Around the Fountain‘ auch sehr gut, zum Beispiel :
‚Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn’t say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but I do.
Fifteen minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn’t say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do‘und :
‚I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
But „take me to the haven of your bed“
Was something that you never said--
It's a nice day for weather.Was mich die letzten Tage sehr beschäftigt hat, sind die sogenannten „Moors Murders“, die Morrissey thematisch in „Suffer Little Children“ aufgreift. Ich habe einiges darüber gelesen, was dazu geführt hat, dass der Song nun noch bedrückender und beklemmender ist als er zuvor bereits gewesen ist. Morrissey war, als die Morde in Manchester verübt wurden, in etwa dem gleichen Alter wie die ermordeten fünf Jugendlichen. Dementsprechend hat es Ihn sehr beschäftigt und er hat seine Eindrücke auch in weiteren Songs verarbeitet. Oh Manchester, so much to answer for…
foreverill.com/oz.netIn the 60’s, Myra Hindley and lover Ian Brady abducted and murdered several small children in and around Manchester. They buried several bodies on Saddleworth Moor, north of Manchester; when they were found out, the case became known as the Moors Murders. Steven Patrick Morrissey was the same age as several of the victims, like Lesley Anne Downey and John Kilbride. In interviews years later, he revealed the deep impression the murders had left on him as a child – a feeling of an intense malevolent spirit around Manchester that never really left him.
This experience was to turn into the lyrics for this evocative and highly moving song, with surely the best lyrics on the first album. The image of the children’s ghosts clamouring to be buried in the Moors, their promise of retribution, and the stern reminder „Manchester, so much to answer for“ all add to the deep sadness of this tune, backed by Marr’s plaintive guitar parts.
Months after the release of „The Smiths“, a relative of the murdered John Kilbride heard this song on a jukebox in a pub. Incensed by what he saw as a taking advantage of the murders, a chance hearing caused yet another scandal to hinder the rising career of The Smiths. After several communications from Morrissey himself, the relatives soon realised the sincerity of the song. In its early stages, this song was titled „Over The Moors“.
This song was only played live once, at The Smiths‘ first gig, The Ritz, 4th October 1982.Bei Wikipedia gibt es einiges mehr an Informationen. Sehr beklemmend.
Die Lyrics zu „Suffer Little Children“:
foreverill.com/oz.netOver the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And I’ll lay me down
Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And I’ll lay me downLesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads
Oh John, you’ll never be a man
And you’ll never see your home again
Oh Manchester, so much to answer forEdward, see those alluring lights ?
Tonight will be your very last nightA woman said : „I know my son is dead
I’ll never rest my hands on his sacred head“Hindley wakes and Hindley says :
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says :
„Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone“But fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death
Fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of deathHindley wakes and says :
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says :
„Oh, whatever he has done, I have done“But this is no easy ride
For a child cries :„Oh, find me … find me, nothing more
We are on a sullen misty moor
We may be dead and we may be gone
But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side
Until the day you die
This is no easy ride
We will haunt you when you laugh
Yes, you could say we’re a team
You might sleep
You might sleep
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh, you might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !“
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh, find me, find me !
Find me !
I’ll haunt you when you laugh
Oh, I’ll haunt you when you laugh
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh …
Over the moors, I’m on the moor
Oh, over the moor
Oh, the child is on the moor -
