The Smiths — Miserable Lie lyrics

Lyrics

So, goodbye
please stay with your own kind
and I’ll stay with mine
There’s something against us it’s not time
So, goodbye
I know I hardly say
how much I love your casual way
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
andlove is just a miserable lie
you have destroyed my flower like-life
not once-but twice
you have corrupt my innocent mind
not once-but twice
I know that wind-swept mystical air
it means: I’d like to see your underwear
I recognise that mystical air
it means: I’d like to see your underwear
what do we get for the trouble and pain?
just a rented room in Whalley Range
into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her…
I need advice, I need advice
because 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
so take me when you go
