Shoplifters of the World Unite (last British TV appearance, The Tube, April 10th 1987) Songtext
von The Smiths

Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crimes
My only weakness is well, never mind, never mind, oh

Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over

Learn to love me
And assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is listed crime
But last night the plans for a future war
Was all I saw on Channel Four


Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over, hand it over, hand it over

A heartless hand on my shoulder
A push and it′s over
Alabaster crashes down
Six months is a long time
I tried living in the real world
Instead of a shell
But before I began
I was bored before I even began

Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Take over
