Rubber Ring - 2011 Remaster Songtext
von The Smiths

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"

No, rubber ring, rubber ring
Rubber ring, rubber ring, oh
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring
No, rubber ring
Rubber ring, rubber ring
Rubber ring


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

The passing of time
Leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled

The passing of time
Leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled


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

Oh, rubber ring, rubber ring
Rubber ring, rubber ring
Oh, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring
No, rubber ring
Rubber ring, rubber ring

Do you love me like you used to? Ooh
Rubber ring, rubber ring
Rubber ring, rubber ring

(You're clever)
(Everybody′s clever nowadays)

(You're clever)
(Everybody′s clever nowadays)

(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)
