Miserable Lie - 2011 Remaster Songtext
von The Smiths

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 corrupted 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, oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oohh


I'm just a country-mile behind
The world

I′m just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh-oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oohh

Take me when you go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh, oh-ohh!

Take me when you go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh-oh, oh-ohh!

I need advice, I need advice
