Lyrics
Upon the sand, upon the bay
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
Before you illustrate
I'd rather state
I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And sorrow's native son
He will not smile for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say "give in to lust
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust"
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And sorrow's native son
He will not rise for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
(Oh, really?)
I could have been wild and I could have been free
But nature played this trick on me
She wants it now
And she will not wait
But she's too rough
And I'm too delicate
Then, on the sand
Another man, he takes her hand
A smile lights up her stupid face
(And well, it would)
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
#TheSmiths #PrettyGirlsMakeGraves
That guitar coda at the end always gets me, marr is a genius
You should hear on the 1983 Old Grey Whistle Test performance... It changed my life!
rhcp minor thing outro
Totally agree a work of genius
I couldnt agree more with ur statement
he went to yale and everything
The Smiths will allways sound good,anytime,any century.They are timeless.😇😇
I’m 16, it’s 2021. I’m so in love with this band I wish I was introduced to it as a child 🤍
@@biancateixeira4005 same! I love them and all of theirs lyrics are priceless
Actually are
@@biancateixeira4005 a lot oif stuff i listened to as a child i either forgot about or when i listened to it as an adult it sounds really different because im actually listening to it properly, all instruments and vocals. listening to these guys while i was a child would have not been a good move, dont think i would have liked them back then
but of course thats just me being honest with myself like 99% of people on youtube do not do
@@biancateixeira4005Smiths are the best... 2nd best (though musically better than the Smiths) Alan Parsons Project... loves of my life them two
One of Rourke's most underrated bass lines. Gotta love it.
It’s so simple but has so much grove
its brilliant love it on this track.. drives it all the way through to Marr's outro
God bless The Smiths
God bless Morrissey.
아멘
Yes.
god save the smiths*
@@ilikethesmithstoo3570 GOD SAVES The Queen and The Smiths and The Maiden...
Why is hardly anyone talking about how incredible the bass is on this song?
The bass here is incredible, too many people ignore bass
you have not spent any time on the comments of the smiths songs im guessing, 99% of the comments about the bass always involve how no one else is apparently talking about it lmao, self fulfilling prophecy vibes
Andy’s basslines rule
Omg. Bass fav. I love vocal too. Best
This is one of Rourke's easier lines (in fact, I can sing and play this one despite the weird rhythmic phrasing). However, it is what he does with that simplicity in this that truly blows my mind. Sometimes he ends the call and answer affect with thirds instead of the octaves and it sounds fucking amazeballs.
Always loved how this songs instrumentation starts off in an cheerful manner and when the drop arrives it descends beautifully into a dramatic interlude. The Smiths Instrumentation remains undefeated to this day, maybe with The Strokes coming close.
great comment
Wow. Agree with you
I get similar vibe with theres a light that never goes out.
Rush were far better. YYZ for example
Or a farewell to Kings
I love that it references hand in glove
The timeless thing about the Smiths' music is it's so out of the box it's impossible to date. It hangs in the ether, never going away.
I like it when the girl is like “oh really?”
Is that the one thing you like in this whole song?
@@thereligion4169 he never said that, dummy
@@thereligion4169 yes badman, good vocabulary
Her voice is sexy
Everything is great
Perfect Bass...
marr guitar kills me everytime
It's all in the Bass sweety!!!
@@johnbarry1965 no doubt that bass is amazing as always
They mixed this album to perfection
jaki piękny nick :D
i’ve had this outro on repeat for days now!! marr is a genius
Listen to Nurnburg - Zorstka
They basically took that outro riff and turned it into an entire song, I really enjoy it
@@Adam-zi5se so good!!!!
@@Adam-zi5se holy shit I never thought of that
This song is pure art.
This song's lyrics could easily stand as a poem (just like almost every single Smiths' song).
End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say "give in to lust
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust"
3:03 still getting haunted by this guitars.
Marr magic.
"How Soon is Now" is out of this world.
It's funny cause these guitars make me think of Wasting Love by Iron Maiden
Me too, says it all.
I love this song so much.
Especially the guitar bit at the ending, so perfect.
I am now 50 yrs young. I listened to these gentleman since I can remember. Never has there been anything to take its place in my heart and soul.♥️♥️🙏👍💪🤟
I too am a kindred spirit; their music was a kind of miracle; not flawless, but, for me, both timeless and a rare moment in our storied cultural narrative. Long live the Smiths for their haunting , melancholic strains and intelligent lyricism
cool except i wouldn’t exactly call Mr. Morrisey here a “gentleman”…
It Invokes our youth...❣️💔❤️🔥🖤...But in such a Bitter Sweet way that no one else can.
sorry'
Summer of '86 Queen is Dead...that did it for me
..You tug my arm and say : give in to lust give up to lust heaven knows we’ll soon be dust ....
Christ... best lyrics ever written
Fact period end of...
Nah.
She wants it now
She will not wait
But shes to rough
And im to delicate
Haha. Honestly. Best lyrics in this song.
Can't argue with that.
Upon the sand, upon the bay
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
Before you illustrate
I'd rather state
I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And sorrow's native son
He will not smile for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say "give in to lust
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust"
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And sorrow's native son
He will not rise for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
(Oh, really?)
I could have been wild and I could have been free
But nature played this trick on me
She wants it now
And she will not wait
But she's too rough
And I'm too delicate
Then, on the sand
Another man, he takes her hand
A smile lights up her stupid face
(And well, it would)
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
I've heard that somewhere before 😂. Amazing
So he's gay, right? The guy's gay?
@@jessicahanley5080 - morrissey once said he isn't gay, straight or bisexual-he's just super picky.
But in the song the girl wanted to fuck and he didn’t so she went to go fuck some other dude and that leads him to lose faith in womanhood .
@@jessicahanley5080 no, he's just incel kkkkkk
@@Mattwarszawa how can Morrissey a very good looking guy with millions in his bank be an Incel?
The outro is so haunting yet beautiful.
Long Live The Smiths
I love how it starts with a reference to one of his other songs🤣
“Let us leave pretty women to men with no imagination.”
― Marcel Proust
The French have the concept of jolie laide, which means "pretty ugly." A jolie laide woman has features that aren't considered conventionally attractive, but she's still alluring. A good example is the actress Charlotte Gainsbourg.
@jwh8999 He's saying that men with no imagination can't see beyond the surface.
Proust was also gay, so there's that subtext too.
on leur laisse !!!!
@@qmartine Türkler her yerde
There's a Belorussian band called Nürnberg that took the outro riff and make a complete song based on it... Its called Zorstka
i was about to say that, great song and great band!
Everything that this song talks about happened to me, damn.
"And on the sand, another man, he takes her hand
A smile, lights up her stupid face, oh well it would,
I've lost my faith in womanhood" It describes the pain so beautifully.
3:02 onward has such a dismal, longing, restless, sighing feeling of discontent to it... wish there was more throughout
OK, anime avatar. Please, grow up.
@@clvrswine Aren't you too old to be on the internet hating on strangers? Soon you'll be dust heaven says.
A song with a similar vibe is "Murder Your Memory" by Title Fight
@@clvrswine Let people enjoy shit dude.
Today is my brithday. in one random conversation with my mom i said i wanted a The Smiths shirt, she gave me one today, love u mom
Happy late bday
@@j1nnienchrist TYVM!!
Andy Rourke is simply amazing!
He is an Excellent Bass player!!
that ending really makes me think of the past. it truly makes me wonder if i did anything good at all.
The most underrated comment in RUclips history.
What a genius composition both lyrically and musically. Such an under-rated song
The outro riff is one of the greatest of all time.
I was reading "two can keep a secret" when the smiths and this song were mentioned and I was like woah, the Smith's are good, I better listen to this.
Same!
SAME HERE RN
Love that book!
The last 50 seconds of this song are genius
your damn right they are. so haunting yet gorgeous and warm at the same time i love it.
the last 3:44 minutes of this song are genius
Your avatar sucks though.
Vocals ✨ everything else wow ✨😭
Few people would resonate with the lyrics, in this world of quick and shallow "love"
the lyrics the music everything makes me wanna cry, love the smiths!
*This song is absolutely made for me👍*
@dani cali calm down mate, it's an expression
realmente la guitarra del final te da una sensación de cierre, te deja pensando
The outro is so ethereal
40 years ago today, this was unleashed on the world. Wonderful.
Thanks
i love how the riff from reel around the fountain is at the end! and then the throwback lyric from hand in glove
"Im not the man you think i am"
I can only imagine telling my friend "look I wrote this poem about how all women want to do is fuck" and he writes a melody this beautiful for me to recite my poem. Morrissey has no idea how awesome his life is
OK, fair, but it's a beautiful poem and Morrisseys solo career has been nothing to sneeze at.
@@corzich No dispute here, I fucking love both of them. It just IS funny as far as a subject for a rock song, especially considering how good of a song it actually is.
"But nature played this trick on me" = I always took this as well as the rough/delicate line to mean Morrissey is gay. So that wouldn't have been particularly awesome for him
@@MatttheDad Yeah that's how I took it too, I just mean.. think of how many people write meaningful poetry that DON'T have Johnny Marr to soundtrack it
yet again he's depressed since the beggining.
I have never related more to a song in my life.
I've always pictured the scenario in this song in my head over the years!....Morrissey though, always stays in his 20s, looking perfect - which is a bit unfair! 😏
Jacqueline Morris hey I’m just commenting so u could come back and listen to this song again hope u enjoy
morrissey is a dickhead, although he did help make great music
I lost my faith in womanhood
@@earthwormjim420 hes like marmite. You love him or hate him.
We will all one day be dust.
My favourite smiths song 😍
My favorite too!
I listen to the songs on Spotify but come here to talk about it 🤗
The outro is so beautiful
The Smiths and Morrissey forever 😍
yes after 36 years they are still one of my favorite bands.I will always love them.
Happy Valentines day, to us lonely fucks listening to the smiths.
What a song. Always.
This bass line is simply spotless
Wdym spotless
Long Live The Smiths❤️
The guitar part in the end is beautiful
Like you 😉😉
I just came here to see this was a happy encounter... I was looking for a "new" sound, something different... this delivered it, thank you RUclips
“Heaven knows we’ll soon be dust..”
Heaven knows we‘ll soon be dust..
That Johnny Marr outro sends me to another dimension. Especially after 10 ciders😁
The beauty of this it’s perfect
What a song!
the guitar at the end sounds so heavenly
Ikr
Listening to this song makes me feel like I've seen a movie .
La mejor banda de los ochenta , siempre geniales , Andy Rourke. R.I.P. ❤
The bass line in this song is incredible
this song makes me day dream
best track tbh tbh
So miserable but up beat , the perfect combo
oh my gosh ,the ending.
Pure Beauty!
Even when I listened to the smiths as a kid still in high school, I still knew the end was special. Such a great song and maybe my favourite Smiths song
i love this song
This is my favorite song from The Smiths’ debut album!
That's high praise, because I've gone through the first three and so far I'd say this is their best one
Total class 👌
Oh im addicted to this one.
I love THE SMITHS
My fav Smiths song...
THE smiths THE Best
The rift at the end got my nips hard
marr never fails to impress me as a fellow guitarist, the thing he does make it sound like im playing a different instrument
Jeez I love this song so much
Favorite song
This is my peace
es lo mejor saludo desde paraguay
Thee most Beautiful outro
i love so much the 0:38 ~ 0:50 part
it makes me sooo relaxed aAAA
The whole song is amazing but the ending is so damn good
The last verse hits so hard actually
Like me
Aos 3:00 minutos meu coração sangra de emoção, que melodia bela e triste.
Amo demais The Smiths ❤
I write from the grave
Marr you're a genius
The last minute 😩👌
This song is on my playlist, and right after this song is a hard metal song lmao
Metal is lazy formulaic garbage
Born and Raised in Los Angeles. DJ and Artist.
Smiths são fantásticos e Johnny Marr é um gênio. O dedilhado a partir de 3:03 é sublime.
Huh? Wha? Speak English.
@@clvrswine fuck off
@@clvrswine speak Portuguese
@@alguem9701 Muito bom. Kkkkkk
Muito bom mesmo cara, melhor ainda é xingar esses gringos que não entendem kkkkkkk
A masterpiece
i love the smiths
