Lyrics of Rubber Ring by The Smiths
verse
A sad fact widely known
The most impassionate song to a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But don't forget the songs that made you smile
And the songs that made you cry
When you lay in awe on the bedroom floor
And said, "Oh, oh, smother me Mother"
chorus
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
Oh, na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
Oh, la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
verse
The passing of time and all of its crimes
Is making me sad again
The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes
Is making me sad again
But don't forget the songs that made you cry
And the songs that saved your life
Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you
verse
The passing of time leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled
The passing of time leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled
verse
I'm here with the cause, I'm holding the torch
In the corner of your room, can you hear me?
And when you're dancing and laughing and finally living
Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly
chorus
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
Oh, na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
Oh la day, la da da dey di, la da da dey di
bridge
Do you love me like you used to?
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
Oh, na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
(You're clever)
(Everybody's clever nowadays)
(You're clever)
(Everybody's clever nowadays)
outro
(You are sleeping, you do not want to believe)
(You are sleeping, you do not want to believe)
(You are sleeping, you do not want to believe)
(You are sleeping-)
Writer(s): Steven Patrick Morrissey, Johnny Marr
