Lyrics: Miserable Lie
Album: Smiths
Artist: Smiths, The
 

So, goodbye
Please stay with your own kind
And i’ll stay with mine

There’s something against us
It’s not time
It’s not time
So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I know i need hardly say
How much i love your casual way
Oh, but please put your tongue away
A little higher and we’re well away
The dark nights are drawing in
And your humour is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
And "love" is just a miserable lie
You have destroyed my flower-like life
Not once – twice
You have corrupt my innocent mind
Not once – twice
I know the wind-swept mystical air
It means : i’d like to see your underwear
I recognise that mystical air
It means : i’d like to seize your underwear
What do we get for our trouble and pain ?
Just a rented room in whalley range
What do we get for our trouble and pain ?
…whalley range !
Into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her …

I need advice, i need advice
I need advice, i need advice
Nobody ever looks at me twice
Nobody ever looks at me twice

I’m just a country-mile behind
The world

I’m just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh …

I’m just a country-mile behind
The world

I’m just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh …

Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh…

Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh …

I need advice, i need advice
