Lyrics
Is it wrong to want to live on your own?
No, it's not wrong, but I must know
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you
Oh
Is it wrong not to always be glad
No, it's not wrong, but I must add
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you
Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You're a girl and I'm a boy
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la
Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'm a girl and you're a boy
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
La, la, la, la, la, la
Throw your homework onto the fire
Come out and find the one that you love
Come out and find the one you love

I'm 51 and I think it's wonderful that kids are discovering The Smiths!
Mark Allgood I’m 38 and I felt the same way when I saw a bunch of sixteen year olds at the Montreal Moz show a couple months ago
I'm 36 the Smiths have started to grow on me,love Morrisey now.
Chris Hughes Our parents had Sinatra, we have Morrissey !
dani cali oooohhh, your so cool
@dani cali no!
Morrisey has a classic uncle swag
Plagiarism
All done tongue in cheek
'Kill Uncle'. Lol! As in the Album title. Good Album & Vinyl.
Unfortunately like bob too 😕
Have la la las ever sounded so good in a song ?
Johnny's dancing and Morrissey's smile... I fucking love those two. They're fantastic
I'm gonna dance like that in front of my boss when I quit my job
Please do
LOL I would PAY to see that Ed! LOL :D
Joe
u need to sing as well. pls film and post it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please dance like he does at 1:44 lmao
Johhny at 1:29 is the coolest thing that I have ever seen
That little guitar squeak at 0:58 is like finding a twenty dollar bill in your coat pocket.
I've always loved that bit
johnny looks so cute here im sobbing
Can’t stop replaying 1:30 . That was so cute
Marr is taking over there :)
Literally such a cutie
That's only because Johnny Marr is the coolest, even when he's not trying!
ㄹㅇ 씹덕사 ㅜㅠ
@@dermy5445 understandable
Sheilas of the world, unite and take a bow! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
I'm a Fetus and I love the Smiths
I'm a Zygote and I love the Smiths. Ha!!
I was aborted and i love The Smiths
And now you are four! You still like The Smiths? I do!
Why do people talk a lot about Moz and Marr, but cruelly forget to mention the awesome job from Andy and Mike? It's really rare to see their names on the comments. Sad, but true.
Whatever, it's a masterpiece. Really wanted to have lived the Smiths in their time. My favorite band ever!
In fairness as much as I like Andy, I don't think Mike is a nearly good enough drummer to be mentioned in the same breath as Morrissey (one of the greatest lyricists and vocalists in the history of pop music) and Marr who is one of the most influential guitarists of all time
+Victor Albergaria Cause Johnny (Fuckin') Marr is the real powerhouse of the Smiths sound. He wrote all the bass parts, too. I'd personally love to see him playing with Morrissey once again.
love the way Marr lets go of the guitar at 1:30
franz yeh but morrissey fucked it when he said brexit was a good thing and Nigel farage is a wonderful man
Im A Bellend yeah he always wants to say something "outrageous" just for the fuck of it.. it's mozzer
Come on, admit that we’ve all been dancing like this in isolation for the past month.
I love that thing Johnny does at 1:30. Such a cool little move.
2:26 Rourke takes that balloon like a man
tommyzoom88 fucking hilarious 😂
Lmao I noticed that too
Makes me wonder if someone intentionally threw the balloon on his face,or was that just an accident.
That's what bass players experience
He also kicked it at Morrissey! 😅
I'm 26 and the smiths are still the only thing that consoles me.
Exactly the same here.
Take my hand and off we stride. :)
BaronessStrange I'm 23 and it's the same for me
39 and feeling the same right now.
BaronessStrange 19 and same here.
1:27 I love this bit of the song, absolutely adore how Marr and Morrissey are in sync with their moves. Marrissey forever ❤️
very underrated song
GriefTourist it reached 10 in the charts its one of the least underrated smiths songs by far
yeah but it rarely gets mentioned among fans when discussing their favourites
+GriefTourist If you knew, you'd hear me harping on this song, for true.
+Moonlight * Actually I meant "If you knew me in person..." Honestly luv it.
+GriefTourist great song although a lot of naysayers im sure wont even realise that this was the last time they ever shared a stage together,
This was actually their biggest hit, and yet it's only had 1M views compared to "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" which has 31M. Fantastic song with some 70's glam rock undertones to it. Love the guitar thrashing in the intro, especially. :-)
@@antonioluna4518 I know, because I am a Smiths fan. It reached No.10 in the UK Top 40, the band's highest chart position (a tie with "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now") and in Ireland it reached No.3 in the Top 40 - the highest chart position that they got anywhere. This does not count the specialised UK 'indie' charts where several of their singles reached No.1 in.
I love 70’s glam rock 🙃
Nice Dario. Both such great songs of so many.
@@antonioluna4518 its not like the statistics are secret.
@@casualagent7250 A little, dare I say, The Glitter Band in the instrumental sections too!
I’m 52, and my youngest son of 21 years loves this. My work here is done!
51 and my 15 yo daughter and I belt out smiths songs everytime we're in the car.
good job
Absolutely love The Smiths. ❤ This is one of my many favourites.
The lyrics are brilliant.
Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce made great music together for a very short time. The Smiths will go on forever.
Jonny marr was the back bone of the smiths
@@aledwyn6017 All 4 members completed The Smiths sound and music, etc. Great alt band.
1:28 is magical
I swear
Chilly Sponge those movesss
Sophie Heritage me dancing to this in the kitchen
EJC126 hahaha same
The Smith's weren't so much as a band but a state of mind- an outlook. They captured the spectrum of passion inside us as youths in a way you could savor it -over time like a jolly rancher vs a Hershey's kiss (gone in a second). I'm 48 now and much of that soulfull kid has vanished due to the trials and tribulations of life, however Everytime I here their music, a tiny drop of that emotion runs through my bloodstream ever so subtlety. I'm glad I was part of those times, and I feel fortunate life hasn't complely numbed my soul.
YOUTH OF TODAY HEAR ME CLEARLY- BOTTLE THAT PASSION AND IF YOU CAN NEVER LET IT GO.!! You make think it will be like this forever but it won't.....
This is how i feel too. No one gets it but you.
I'm a newborn and I'm already listening to Morrissey
ahahahAhhh
@tantinG GONG no he wouldn’t even be gen z dumbass
I was just conceived and I'm a superfan
I will always love his movements, especially when he sings "la-la-la"
I’m dead and I love The Smiths
Say hello to The Queen for me will you?
Don't forget to vote!

As I recall, the Smiths were the biggest band in the UK when this came out. They were massive.
J Bradmore Duran Duran dwarfed everyone in the the UK in the 80s.
Marrhoosive
Not quite. Even to this day to a lot of people they're quite niche.
'80s New Wave. 📻😎
RIP Andy, tu música me acompaña desde adolescente y me llenó de momentos hermosos de felicidad. Nunca te olvidaremos!! Love from Argentina. ❤
Excellently put melonmaniac, can’t believe Andy has gone🥲🥲🥲 so so sad
Essas declaração é amor de verdade 😢
How can someone so young sing words so sad? Genius!
One of the best Smiths songs. At their effortless best. I could listen to this on repeat for hours. Maybe I have.
Happy birthday to Sheila take a bow it’s such a good song
Phenomenal. The amount of heart, courage, and wit this band brought to the world has yet to be surpassed.
Phoenix comes very close.😊
I used to date a guy…….. who was a DJ. He had a huge vinyl collection! He knew how much I loved Morrissey, Soo He played this song for me every morning to wake me up when I would spend the night at his house. He was the first one to play this song for me! I thought that I knew all of Morrisey’s and Smith ‘s music, but this was a B-side that I totally missed. Whenever I would spend the night at his house, he would wake me up with this song, and it brings back all the feels!!!!!
Morrissey dancing will always be a mood.
This is `Top of the Pops', in what would be The Smiths' final television appearance of 23rd April 1987.
The smiths..who else brings meaningful pop music directly into your living room like they do?
Real thing..legends
here here
Marr with that beret is hilarious 😂 brilliant!
the coolest song by the coolest band
y’all look at his dance moves. truly iconic.
Johnny's lil bop at 1:31 gives me life
The little hit of the fist at the beginning is what I’ve been watching for the last forty five minutes
that little hit of the fist is f-ing fantastic :)
In the summer of 87, I was studying film at the University of London. It was my first time out of the United States. I played this about 200 times during that time in a pub called The Yorkshire Grey, near Fitzroy Square. Pretty sure that jukebox and the local patrons were sick of me. I've never been sick of this song. Johnny Marr's guitar sound on this is one for the ages.
I was literally at Fitzroy square today, how bizarre!
@@stephrichards4611 If I was there, this song would’ve been blasting out of a pub.
I didn't see much in the way of pubs to be honest, just embassies and offices. I'm not from the area though so perhaps I missed them (I hope)
I love Morrissey so much!!! His music literally saved my life
There must be such a story hidden inside those six words. I'm really glad that it did.
I don't know what it is about his music but I feel connected to it I can't explain it
I guess nobody can explain such a feeling. But I can tell you I can perfectly relate to it.
katie faulkner I hate when people put comments like this it isn't just morrissey's work it's the whole band and to be fair most of the smiths sound is thanks to johnny marr
katie faulkner don't forget the songs that saved your life
The Smiths are the best band I've ever heard in my life and I'm nearly 60!!! Music will never the same again 🥰
I am 58 and my 17 year old just started listening to the Smiths… I was so surprised but so happy
Andy Rourke is vastly under rated and always over looked ,his bass lines are superb and carry the smiths songs so beautifully along with mike's drum beats
I was never a fantastic bass player, but I became very proficient with Andy's base lines, absolutely love them.
Oddly enough, "boot the grime of this world in the crotch dear" has recently become one of my favorite lyrics that Morrissey wrote as a Smith. I like to think that it pairs nicely with "it takes strength to be gentle and kind". Both are lyrics that inspire me to be a better person and to fight on behalf of the marginalized and underprivileged.
Idk why, but when he does the punching motion, it is just pure entertainment
Moz just dances the way he feels! I LOVE that! SO AWESOME! :D
Mike Joyce sets the perfect groove for ALL Smiths songs. People who are saying he plays simple parts are full of it. Every one of his fills is perfectly laid out, and his grooves are utterly infectious. They would not have become famous without him. Fine maybe someone else could've done it. I'm not so sure on all songs, like this one, and Stop Me If You've Heard This, and How Soon Is Now. Bigmouth Strikes again on drums and bass? PLEASE RECREATE THAT, BIG MOUTHS!
You can really hear the difference when others cover their songs. I'm not diminishing the massive talents of Morrissey Marr, but Joyce and Rourke (also integral) deserved at least SOME publishing in my mind. No fricking doubt about it.
I ask myself," Why are the Smiths so good?" Then I say," Just enjoy them!"
I love this video because all the members look so relaxed and upbeat and a little bit cheeky! ......Oh..my age? I'm 48 - is it important??!! 😝
Released today 1987! They had already played their final gig :(
The drumming on this song… too good
I’m a drummer and this song is fun to play
I absolutely love this song, just something about it.
Yes. It is indescribable. Joy?
The lyrics are amazing.
and the way that he sing it!
@@lucylight176 Yes of course it's brilliant!
@@fightsforrights9744 ☺
My 20 year old son loves the Smiths as much as I did his age, there is hope for humanity!
I love Morrissey soooooooooo much he's amazing and so very beautiful, intelligent and magical
How wonderfully swishy and charming! This from a hardcore punker taking a rare look over the fence and seeing that the neighbors weren't concerned with manly stances and and strong words. Yeah, I know this is from the 80's, I was there too, but I chose to go the hardcore route. I'm kind of discovering this band at 50, I just had to wait to mature to appreciate songs about girls with insecurity issues.
+centralscrutinizer66
Well said.
Morrisseys is wonderful and swishy just like a crooning peacock
centralscrutinizer66 Dude, im turning 40 and same here. Grew up punk but sort of threw myself into their discography slowly. So yeah bro, I feel you!
I’m 47 and I always knew. But now I’m realizing how much of my discontented youth I wasted crushing on swishy boys. Ah well, live and learn.
I embarrassingly wrote them off as "faggy", but that didn't stop me from going to see Husker Du.
Peak The Smiths here, among their best songs, Morrissey is at his most handsome and this is probably my favourite dancing of his.
THAT is music and THAT is a nice atmosphere. Miss that nowadays.
Many folk believe this song has a reference to Shelagh Delaney, perhaps it does, but let me give you all another possibility.
26/10/86 The London Palladium at the age of 12 I saw the Smiths with my older brother and sister. Our parents took us there and once safely in they went off to wherever returning in time for us after.
We went to the stage door and waited in the hope we might see them leaving. Our hopes of seeing Morrissey were dashed when a lady also waiting told us Morrissey had already gone but the others were on their way. The lady then introduced herself as Andy’s Mum and asked my sister if she’d like the poster she was holding signed, 5 mins later she returned with a fully signed poster. Yep one of the others signed ‘Morrissey’ too which was a lovely touch.
We left ecstatic and returned home where our Mum said she needed to tell us something before we went to bed.
She said after we had gone in she & our Dad went to the stage door and saw Morrissey arriving. As he got out my Mum approached him but was moved back by a couple of security guys, she ducked underneath their arms and came face to face with Morrissey who simply said “hello”. She explained how we were inside and asked if he could sign a poster she’d bought. The security attempted to move her back again but Morrissey said it was ok and asked her her name. She said Sheila. He went to sign it but she asked if he could write it to my sister. He asked my Mum was she also going in and she said no, that it was my sister who was the one who had come out tonight to see him because she loved him.
Skip forward to June 87 and my sister and I met Morrissey outside his home, she told him how he’d met our Mum at the Palladium and asked him if Sheila take a bow was a reference to her. Morrissey remembered and said Sheila without us saying anything. He then simply smiled and shrugged his shoulders, he did not answer.
So maybe this song is a reference to my Mum and my sister, “Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you”
Perhaps it’s not and Morrissey didn’t want to upset us as he could clearly see the hope in a 12 & 15 year old eyes that it was.
I’ll never know and I love that.
You need to be interviewed in the next Smiths documentary. Fascinating tale!
Also, please tell me that you still possess that poster.
Guy Pseudonym yep my sister still has both posters. We were also fortunate enough to meet him on several other occasions coming out from the old BBC centre having filmed Top of the pops, we have photos of him leaning out the car window signing our T-shirts. My sister also wrote to rough trade asking where she could get a 7” of This Charming Man because for some reason at the time it was not on sale?? Morrissey sent her a signed white label copy he’d also drawn a little basic caricature of himself on it complete with a quiff. He even personally wrote her name and address on the parcel. We have lots of great memories 😀
What a fantastic story.
When i first heard the smiths i knew right away they were the coolest thing ever.Powerful,smooth and loud.see, cool.35 years later and that hasn't changed.
morrissey = definition of beauty
tru
No matter what age you are, you can appreciate The Smiths

lmfao shut up
Go offline and stay there.

crazy to think you’re now 14.

Why are people constantly telling me their age in the comments?
To make you feel bad about how old or young you are.

Lmaoooooo
I will always be grateful to my dad for showing me this band
La, la, la-la-la-la

I wish I'd been in GB in the eighties to have been a part of this scene. ♥️
Johnny Marr foi o guitarrista mais estiloso dos anos 80!!
1:29 haha
From Queens, NYC. Bought this single at "slipped disc", a record store in Valley Stream, NY!
It's a shame The Smiths aren't as famous in the US.
Truly inspiring, it derives the credit from the dramatist of the title, of whom Morrissey spoke highly of.
Best band in the world
The smiths make me smile and they inspire any age I'm 16 and I love them
12 for me
I haven't born yet, but I love The Smith too
Liked the Smiths for years. Then they were on Top of the Pops with this and i was hooked.
best smith's song
Don't go home tonight...there's someone out there who loves you
I'm 6 and I love the smiths
Throw your homework onto the fire!
What a great line to almost finish this song....
I believe it's a reference to Kooks by bowie; "If you homework brings you down, then we'll throw it on the fire and take the car downtown!"
Fuk yes
okay, no problem with that
yes!!
It,s my one regret that I didn,t see The Smiths at Sheffield City Hall in 1985 I was an out and out U2 fan ( I,m cured now!).The Smiths as the NME so gloriously demonstrated captured the zeitgeist of the 80s - perfect indy pop! Morrissey and Co. we salute you!
I doubt this band knew they would become legendary
I love the concept.
All members look cute!

"How can someone so young sing words so sad?
It is the question that many older people would ask when listening to Morrissey
