My brother taped the Peel Show and the next day we listened to this - their first session - and were knocked flat. We'd never heard anything like it before. This track in particular flattened me. I still think it's the best thing that they - or practically anyone - ever did. The album version knocked off all the rough edges, smoothed out the guitar sound and - criminally - removed the harmonica.
So, goodbye Please stay with your own kind And I'll stay with mine There's something against us It's not time It's not time So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I know I need hardly say How much I love your casual way Oh, but please put your tongue away A little higher and we're well away The dark nights are drawing in And your humor is as black as them I look at yours, you laugh at mine And "love" is just a miserable lie You have destroyed my flower-like life Not once - twice You have corrupt my innocent mind Not once - twice I know the wind-swept mystical air It means : I'd like to see your underwear I recognize that mystical air It means : I'd like to seize your underwear What do we get for our trouble and pain ? Just a rented room in Whalley Range What do we get for our trouble and pain ? ...Whalley Range ! Into the depths of the criminal world I followed her ... I need advice, I need advice I need advice, I need advice Nobody ever looks at me twice 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 Oh oh, oh ... I'm just a country-mile behind The world I'm just a country-mile behind The whole world Oh oh, oh ... Take me when you go Oh oh, oh... Take me when you go Oh oh, oh ... I need advice, I need advice
Its such an interesting song - the first part is the outer voice and the falsetto introduces that inner voice reflecting on the character's life and motivations, the quicken tempo reflecting his confusion and even increased heart rate
Great powerful version,it was never one of the smiths greatest. But morrissey sounds much more clearer and so raw.And the music 🎶 just serves as a beautiful energy beating along to the pangs of being rejected and hurt and left to die within. The Belfast poet Andrew Beattie 😉.
Both were the backbone of the band! You could put both of them and only them in a room alone and yet there would still be a signature sound of the Smiths.

This is one of the songs I've heard in 2024. Music 🎶 🎸

#4 on my list after This Charming Man, What She Said and You've Got Everything Now. An excellent version of the song! Mo' Smiths!
Andy is the driving force behind this killer track
The man does not receive nearly enough credit
Lmao every* track
Underrated and sick bass player!
I thought Johnny Marr basically composes every melody
@@TheInfamousLegend27 it sounds like a typical Johnny Marr composition. So where do you have your information from?
"Please stay with your own kind and I'll stay with mine" Amen, brother. Amen.
I question the impact of the smiths if there was no Andy rourke
Morrissey's vocal performance on this track is probably the greatest of all-time. Either this or Jeff Buckley's performance in the song "Grace".
My favorite version of this song!
Same.
So, goodbye
Please stay with your own kind
And I'll stay with mine
There's something against us
It's not time
It's not time
So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I know I need hardly say
How much I love your casual way
Oh, but please put your tongue away
A little higher and we're well away
The dark nights are drawing in
And your humor is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
And "love" is just a miserable lie
You have destroyed my flower-like life
Not once - twice
You have corrupt my innocent mind
Not once - twice
I know the wind-swept mystical air
It means : I'd like to see your underwear
I recognize that mystical air
It means : I'd like to seize your underwear
What do we get for our trouble and pain ?
Just a rented room in Whalley Range
What do we get for our trouble and pain ?
...Whalley Range !
Into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her ...
I need advice, I need advice
I need advice, I need advice
Nobody ever looks at me twice
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
Oh oh, oh ...
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh ...
Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh...
Take me when you go
Oh oh, oh ...
I need advice, I need advice
I haven’t heard the Peel version before and it’s my favourite smiths song, thank you for this!
My pleasure :)
@@anncoates4104 This is the wrong take.
@@bobpuckett3215 This is the song as it appears on The Peel Sessions EP released in 1988
Waaay better than the album version
Agreed.
Love is just a miserable lie!!!
Andy we all miss You🥲
Peel Session Smiths is top-notch. Handsome Devil is a vibe
Brilliant version. Love this... There is one performance where they did "London" then right in to this. Gorgeous.
Its such an interesting song - the first part is the outer voice and the falsetto introduces that inner voice reflecting on the character's life and motivations, the quicken tempo reflecting his confusion and even increased heart rate
Andy Rourke low key steals almost every song.
please stay with your own kind and ill stay with mine, there's something against us and its not time
THE HARMONICA 😍
i love it
Great powerful version,it was never one of the smiths greatest. But morrissey sounds much more clearer and so raw.And the music 🎶 just serves as a beautiful energy beating along to the pangs of being rejected and hurt and left to die within. The Belfast poet Andrew Beattie 😉.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
love your channel bro
Thank you! Wanted a place to share my favourite Smiths rarities
John Peel called it the high energy mix 😊
It sounds like Morrissey inhaled some helium for the last half of the song.
Tune.
cant say i like this version better
Chrissie hind said “ andy is as much underrated as Johnny is over rated”
Both were the backbone of the band! You could put both of them and only them in a room alone and yet there would still be a signature sound of the Smiths.
Half true... Johnny Marr was a great player back in the day and deserving of all the praise he got. He's firmly cemented as a legend now.
@@spookerz35 Totally agree man
Andy is certainly underrated but Johnny is not overrated
Yet she still hired Johnny to work with her and not Andy.
This is their worst song.
I can see why you would say that it's definitely different
@@donpeace894 Johnny was a kid. He grew up.
@@bobpuckett3215 its not horrible just not haunting or catchy
@@donpeace894 It's just style. It's a bad song.
@@bobpuckett3215 I don't like it either it sucks and I'm a huge smiths fan sine ,85
I need advice

Must have been so strange hearing these lyrics in the middle of the 1980s.
