Lyrics
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 and 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
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)
Oh, I think I'm in love

The Smiths – A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours

The Smiths – I Started Something I Couldn't Finish
Perhaps not the most obvious choice for a single, “I Started Something I Couldn’t Finish” was the second of four singles from Strangeways, Here We Come. It was released in October
The Smiths – Unhappy Birthday
“Unhappy Birthday” is a predictably bold and ‘miserable’ song with lots of humour.
The Smiths – I Won’t Share You
On “I Won’t Share You” Morrissey let’s his inner egoist show, shamelessly breaking up with his lover whom he sees as burden. The “lover” can be interpreted as Smiths' guitarist
The Smiths – Death of a Disco Dancer
Morrissey is effective in “Death of a Disco Dancer,” which pinpoints Johnny Marr’s importance to the band, as it builds from his scraping-fingernail fret work to a cacophony of

The Smiths – Girlfriend in a Coma
An instance when Johnny Marr’s music and Morrissey’s lyrics' trademark incongruity (see “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others”) works, with Marr adding a strangely cheery backing to a
The Smiths – Death at One's Elbow
Throughout this song, Morrissey keeps returning to themes of death and parting, almost as if he had seen the breakup coming, and dishes out bitter indictments.
The Smiths – Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
“Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before” was released as the fourth and last single off of Strangeways, Here We Come. It was also the last single to ever be released by

A dense song about Morrissey’s feelings towards the music industry, exemplified by tragedy – the death of a star, failing, or otherwise. The lyrics takes the viewpoint of two

“Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me” is a slowpaced stringdriven ballad about loneliness that drips emotion. The crux of the song comes with the end of a relationship, how
