The Smiths' music, and Morissey's regular and fascinating interviews in Smash Hits, where a big part of my teenage years.
May I be so bold as to insert a link to my old Best Smiths LP poll?

the greatest lyrics i have ever read and possibly for the wrong reasons.
It's time the tale were told Of how you took a child And you made him old It's time the tale were told Of how you took a child And you made him old You made him old Reel around the fountain Slap me on the patio I'll take it now Oh ... Fifteen minutes with you Well, I wouldn't say no Oh, people said that you were virtually dead And they were so wrong Fifteen minutes with you Oh, well, I wouldn't say no Oh, people said that you were easily led And they were half-right Oh, they ... oh, they were half-right, oh It's time the tale were told Of how you took a child And you made him old It's time that the tale were told Of how you took a child And you made him old You made him old Oh, reel around the fountain Slap me on the patio I'll take it now Ah ... oh ... Fifteen minutes with you Oh, I wouldn't say no Oh, people see no worth in you Oh, but I do. Fifteen minutes with you Oh, I wouldn't say no Oh, people see no worth in you I do. Oh, I ... oh, I do Oh ... I dreamt about you last night And I fell out of bed twice You can pin and mount me like a butterfly But "take me to the haven of your bed" Was something that you never said Two lumps, please You're the bee's knees But so am I Oh, meet me at the fountain Shove me on the patio I'll take it slowly Oh ... Fifteen minutes with you Oh, I wouldn't say no Oh, people see no worth in you Oh, but I do. Fifteen minutes with you Oh, no, I wouldn't say no Oh, people see no worth in you I do. Oh, I ... I do Oh, I do Oh, I do Oh, I do |

ha ha, well, i certainly harbor no ill will to smiths fans. just wait a bit and cheeto/robinstigator is bound to show up here at any moment and proclaim his love of the smiths. i have a novelist friend who worshhipped morrisey as some kind of XX century oscar wilde (i suspect he borrowed that opinion somewhere, but still). i just don't-- i don't know, i just--who knows? i don't know. ![]() |

Yes. That's the thing about The Smiths. It's the lyrics. The music can be good, but it can be background almost sometimes. The music is never bad though; it suits the sound. Morrissey writes poetry. Period. He then adapts the poetry to songform by using the device of repetition when needed.

One strange thing about The Smiths, for me anyway, is that of all the music I bought in the eighties, The Smiths are the one artist that I've never bought on CD. They just seem to suit vinyl too well.
All men have secrets and here is mine So let it be known We have been through hell and high tide I can surely rely on you ... The first Smiths song I heard was What Difference Does it Make. I loved the tune (one of the best/most memorable intros ever). The lyrics made me almost fall in love with them instantly.
