William, It Was Really Nothing (Peel session – 09/08/1984) Songtext
von The Smiths

The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down

Oh no, and everybody′s got to live their life
And God knows I've got to live mine
God knows I′ve got to live mine


William, William, it was really nothing
William, William, it was really nothing
It was your life

How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say
"Oh, would you like to marry me?
And if you like, you can buy the ring"
She doesn't care about anything

Would you like to marry me?
And if you like, you can buy the ring
I don′t dream about anyone except myself

Oh, William, William, it was really nothing
William, William, oh-oh-oh-oh
