'A Smiths Tribute Band- Pretty Girls Make Graves Live '

For our live version of this song. Cheers

[bmbenblog]

have you ever had that day where you had to listen to the smiths for hours and cried into your beer? yeah, i'm there. that is what the smiths are for.

[thongrrr]

@bmbenblog amm not really, or not complety the smiths have/had a great sense of humourr

[athroughme]

I'm really digging the bass line to this song!

[boomboxSugar]

This song is so sad, the guitar is almost tragic

[PurpleHat1991]

@boomboxSugar i know what you mean. especially the ending. i love it though!

[xenopherus]

I love Moz. How could anyone not love him!

[StefaniSheila]

@MRjaguarmaster How could you write all of that and then just put "hahahaha". As a wise man once said, I see the world. It makes me puke.

[deez123ify]

who the eff would thumb down this vid? fu 20 douches go listen to your horrible korn then

[timmehtimmehtimmehti]

@deez123ify leave Korn put of this man, don't bring in other bands, the people who disliked this feel the same way about The Smiths then you do about Korn, people are aloud to have opinions.

[pobanmanu]

@deez123ify Just think about audio quality. BTW I thumbed it up but I will still empathise for now. TH Smith the greatest album.

[IsrafelAcerezor]

@deez123ify Yes, because it is either Korn or The Smiths.

[TheGhabo]

Fuckin love his hair

[tommymarines1]

Why is Morrissey so big with cholos?

I live in So Cal and all cholos/cholas like them.

[jrmetmoi]

Quiff-aholic!

[BlackCountness]

Non esiste nulla che sia più bello della voce del Mozzer..Non finirò mai di ringraziare il destino, o il caso per avermelo fatto conoscere..

[Moeggggggggggggggggg]

I LOVE THE SMITHS

[velvetundergrounable]

I think how he sings makes him just that little more attractive.

[pinkotter]

This was recorded on the day I was born :D

[Yearofthecat03]

Never get tired of hearing this song!!! Pretty Girls Make Graves:)

[massakra2010]

Morrissey the best :D

[jaycr2006]

19 people are digging graves for themselves.

[MandyP101]

@jaycr2006

Make it 20 you silly boy. This ain't a classic.

Although JM rocks !

[unrequitedk]

que reliquia

[Smythe1800]

Haha only Morrissey would shush his own audience.

hubpages.com/hub/fruit-of-life

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

@Smythe1800

Jim Morrisson too ! he used to say "shut up" to his audience like a master !!!! XD

[copter7777]

@Smythe1800 No joke...what does he say right after that? Sounds like " I think we're friends".....anyone?

[thongrrr]

@Smythe1800 LOL good point

[carlo88moe]

@Smythe1800 yes, only one who would and COULD

[dicksandshit]

Morrissey = FAG

[Moorzeee]

@dicksandshit poor show son.

[dicksandshit]

@Moorzeee im sorry dad

[conali]

@dicksandshit Bet that took a lot of brain power!

[dicksandshit]

@conali And I'm sure that clever comment of yours did as well

[gigagoldfinder]

Check out 'Convalescence Kid: Nothing left to lose' This guy is pretty awesome!!!

[izabellakia]

I don't understand why it's important whether he is gay or not. They make fantastic music and that's all that matters.

[TeapotSeamstress]

@izabellakia Couldn't have agreed more :)

They actually are the only reason I'm proud to be from Manchester <3

[1967pipis]

the queen is dead boys

[1967pipis]

from the first record i have it

[mandinkaable]

excellent as they always are

[mandinkaable]

luv iy luv way he dances

[a1W6av1e8]

he wants her, and she seems to want him, but he can't get IT up, 'for anyone' *cue falsetto*; 'nature played this trick on me'; sounds permanent... it's pretty obvious from the lyrics.

[mandinkaable]

i like is attitude in every manner he knows this world fucked up and full of ignorant fools i suffed with my head all my life know what its like so does he

[mandinkaable]

so do peadifiles make graves for pretty girls

[ivancht91]

me gusta este video, pero mas me gusta el final es facinante

[Severosrighthook]

@ivancht91 mi los sablos que?

[masqeradediva]

i think it's more about how he likes to take things slow which is a weird reveral of roles as opposed to the woman who wants it now or maybe the women who want it from him right away, it says "i could have been wild and i could have been free but natures played this trick on me, she wants it now and she will not wait" he could have been what other men aspire to be, he could have been promiscuous because women want him but he cant "she's too rough and i'm to delicate"

[smokiesnwine]

All the comments seem to be about Morrissey.. But Marr's playing on this is simply beautiful.

[mandinkaable]

@smokiesnwine marrs is smiths just as much as mos best team in music

[HardforJesus]

@mandinkaable Rourke as well. Listen to the way his melodies rhyme with Marr's when he plays those bass harmonics. Most unforgetable band of all time, in so many ways.

[ashleyh81]

yummmm<3 pretty girls make graves

[maribeltst]

I can't believe that even now Morrissey's orientation comes into question..,,who cares if he is straight...gay....curious or as some faggot....he is a first and foremost a person with feelings.

He is not screwing so all of you that question his sexuality leave him ALONE!

Enjoy the art...

In the end this probably gives him a laugh!

[mandinkaable]

@maribeltst im sick of it to who gives ashit and whats it got 2 do with anyone its his life keep your noses out of his life listen his and marr talent and be gratefull they music legends their private life got nothing to do with any of you idiots lay of them

[megsakimbo]

anyone who wants to know what this is about should read The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, thats where the quote 'pretty girls make graves' comes from. its an amazing, awesome book.

[clintxoxox]

this song is good on so many levels its just unspeakable.

[darryndd]

@clintxoxox

yes, sshhh x

[PoeticVampire04]

Why does everything have to be about an artists sexuality? Can you not just appreciate genius when it comes from someone? What the hell does how someone seems have to do with art? What if the pope secretly wore a purple tu-tu in his room? Would we then discount anything he has to say? None of a persons movements matter. I am a die-hard fan of the Moz and nothing anyone has to say will sway me, but really though, WHY WOULD IT MATTER IF HE WERE GAY? Would it change anything he has done musically?

[mansionsong]

I wish I was born in the time The Smiths was around.

Now I have to communicate with girls who listen to Justin Bieber, and watch Disney Channel..

[milkmandan77]

if beavis and butthead were watching this, butthead would go

UHHHHHHHHHHHHH am not the man you think i am EHHHHH UHHH. and then beavis would go ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! i'm not the man!!!!! hehheheehmmmhmhm..hey butthead, who are these fartknockers?

[twochaudio]

I know 

[sunclov]

pretty girls make cake!!!

[morgensternxR]

This shouldn't even have one dislike. Those 17 people just don't appreciate such perfect tunes by The Smiths.

[juliadotcom715]

More boys need to wear their hair like Morrissey! I'd bone 'em all.

[karr017]

@juliadotcom715 you are a girl right lol

[apxeli]

are you gay?

[MrBobbySasquatch]

@juliadotcom715 alrighty then working on it right now 

[jaycr2006]

@juliadotcom715 We should meet... i just came back from the Barber Shop with the Moz on my head.

[77pox]

@juliadotcom715 lol mine is like taht

[TheColdDrummer]

@juliadotcom715

Well... I do have such a haircut ! ; )

[jrmetmoi]

@juliadotcom715 Me too! Quiff- omania baby! Or pompadour-omania whatever!

[indigoj]

@juliadotcom715 my hair is like that come get me LOL!

[09fisherr]

@indigoj same :)



[indigoj]

@09fisherr dating looking for my soulmate girl who loves moz!

[rockkid1996]

@juliadotcom715 They do haha there hipsters ;)

[boosh90]

@juliadotcom715

I did, and no one ever boned me.

Shame really....

[Delticola]

@boosh90 My hair is too wavey to grow out like that, I tried it once around 1993. But it took me until I was 29 to realize that I actually had some game. Only had a couple girls sporatically until 29. Then all of a sudden I had 3 at the same fricken time and that all fizzeled out by the summer end of 2001 and along came my wife right after I went from 3 to zero. Funny thing, two knew about each other. My wife even met one of them. But yeah, it's a shame no one ever boned us back then.

[1Born2LoveU]

I don't think I've ever seen so many flowers thrown at a band besides The Smiths.

[romeroisking]

Perfect hair. 

[deathbypowerglove]

Why does everyone always link The Smith's with homosexuality?

Is it cause he has girl problems?

And is celebite?

Not that it matters cause they are amazing but stil

[TheSidewindersSleep]

@deathbypowerglove Is that whole attribution of the Smiths withs gayness an American thing? Cause ive never heard it here. Bullshit of course, music has no sexual orientation

[deathbypowerglove]

@TheSidewindersSleep Yes. We American's are obsessed with that type of things its pathetic. Whenever I read about Moz they compare him to Oscar Wilde...and then go off to explain how gay both were.

More power to him if he is but it really ought to be about The Smiths not just Moz

[rdcfrdcf]

Sing it like it is . . .

[78morrissey]

what a singer !! incredible !! what a band !! i m listening morrissey since im 14. I ve discovered the smiths in 1986 (im 38); i saw several times morrissey at concerts in france (zenith, olympia), this singer is fantastic. emotional rawness.. i ve heard he had a collapse on stage last year and he can't sing now. excuse me my english is very bad. Someone knows more about him ???

[lynda245]

@78morrissey he also canceled a show@ the casino....

i was truly disappointed

i waited 3 months for that show.:(

[zipzap722]

@78morrissey

Youre so lucky! :D

I'm 14 now, I looove them, I wish I could have got to see them. (:

[TheNiout1]

@78morrissey ( i' m french too ) i was 15 , and just imagine we had -you tube- at this moment , in 80 ' !!!!!

very lucky generation !! j'aurais été fou de me repasser toutes les video , fallait deja que je trouve 50 francs pour me payer un album d'eux !

[BorlandRIP7]

@78morrissey

hello

I'm 42 and discovered the Smiths in 1984 when I Bought the "this charming man" maxi 45T I still have...What a band ( personne ne leur arrive à la cheville , toute ma jeunesse, leurs chansons n'ont pas pris une ride ..)

[TheTenderhooligan]

@78morrissey He did collapse, but he recovered. He's fine now, and playing Glastonbury this weekend :P

[fac443]

The Smiths were fantastic in that many bands "lose it" after a couple of years/albums, but for the entire 5 years they were together they were always as original and fresh as when they first started out. But their beginning is absolutely awesome, as this video very clearly states for all to see. Man, what a combo!

[Howieeeeex]

Its just another one of Morrisey's pseudo sensual fantasy love songs, a love that he is above, a love that he is too good for but at the same time not good enough for... He is just mocking over peoples messy love lives... because he is not a part of the love constitution, becuase he is ASEXUAL.. and he is asexual becuase he strongly believes that humans can not exist harmoniously together, hence his love stories always end badly.. please get your facts right before you spout bollocks people!!

[Howieeeeex]

I wonder if Morrisey's constant soprano outburst's are due his androgyny, i.e getting in touch with his aristocratic femininity...

[vansrok1]

@vervecrazychic I am heterosexual but it is definantly not cool to bash homosexuals with terms like "Faggot," and "Queer." Gays are just another minority that society shits on daily. It's offensive and inconsiderate.

[piafedith10]

the hair! oh, the hair!

[xHollowedOutx]

i love this song so much ...

[rebelscum14]

Used to be a funny place to watch music 'The Assembly Rooms. Derby' saw Billy Bragg there and it was like we were meant to stay seated.

Lucky enough to see the Smiths on the final tour Oct '86, Gloucestor... Intense!

[george1punk2]

its true, they do.

[bens123able]

who care's if Morrissey's gay??? He's probably Gay. So?

[chrysillo]

this song owns, wtf is up with all those fuckin flowers?

[xEMOxBOYxTOYx]

pretty girls make graves

[tallicadude47]

I almost pissed my pants reading FukinMike's comment. I haven't laughed that hard since god knows when.

[willpreeview]

Johnny Marr what a fantastic outro, Your guitar playing leaves me in awe.

[gnaples]

Ugly men! - Heed the message contained in this song! be nice and pursue pretty girls and you will surely suffer - most likely, financially and self-esteem -wise

[JODQ11]

@gnaples Best advice for the economy right now.

"Disregard females; acquire currency."

[roti01]

I guess it´s fair to say, Morrisey is neither straight nor gay, he is stray...

[jackal2071]

@roti01 or gaight

[TheGypsyKing33]

classsssssssic!!

[lovesGenet]

da most beautiful skinny English boys in da world!!!

[EinsteinsFrozenBrain]

Morrissey has no sexual orientation, not gay, not straight.

[sirtinycreep]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain Morrissey is probably gay though, despite saying he isn't. He's never known to have ever bedded a woman.

[bornscience7154]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain He's actually openly homosexual..."I lost my faith in womanhood"?? It's no secret at all.

[strangeverucasalt]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain you're absolutely right, finally someone says it. It's kind of annoying when my dad keeps telling me everyday how morrissey is so gay and fucks different men everynight, i'd like to screaam "SHUT THE FUCK UP" but i cant i dont wanna die in that way: strangled by my father...:)

[msa1985]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain yeah but he's pretty gay.

[violentsilence4u]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain bullshit... hes a represed homo..

[skunkapotamus]

@violentsilence4u The music is good. Other than that who gives a fuck.

[cecile1020]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain

yeah alot of ppl who listen to the smiths

dnt really know that. Is really hard to explain when ppl ask me about that. is quite funny actaully haha

[Assiman]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain

Either he's a antisexual or asexual. Or closeted homo, haha

[mrneccos]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain I admire Morrissey for that...God bless him

[ballersack]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain

He may not be gay, but he is certainly a faggot

[riger]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain He's definitely gay. You should see the video November Spawned A Monster. Sooo gay.

[markydeeks]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain So what your your saying is, it's ok for a straight man to fancy him without having to question his own sexuality? Thank fuck :)

[chukmaty]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain

Not really true. He is almost certainly gay. He just wanted to not have it be important either way. Possibly Bi.

[mandinkaable]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain who cares i feel every emotion he has i write poems noono sees am i gay or straight who gives a shit

[bornincampnou]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain Asexual ;)

[Frances3654]

@EinsteinsFrozenBrain

[mandinkaable]

@Frances3654 fucksake whats wrong with u people what the fuck it got do with u what he is he a legend keep your nose out of his life and listen his music

[Frances3654]

[Frances3654]

@mandinkaable

[catguyauble]

Everyone, Morrissey is gay. He wrote it about his feelings. He hates them. But he can't he can't help them.

[jennysjames]

what is this song written about? can anyone tell me pls?

[RocknRollMadam]

hahaha pretty pretty^^

[babybooo2]

This song has the saddest yet most amazing ending ever

[gasperarmenta]

2SHAE! i always make that comment.

[babybooo2]

TRU! It really is

[ItTakesStrength]

Smiths & Morrissey night @ Indiependence in Wigan...£4 Entry...Open 9pm - 6am

VIVA MORRISSEY playing live @ 10pm.

Search Facebook "INDIEPENDENCE WIGAN"

[dazzlindarrent]

what u on about morrisey has never played in wigan

[ItTakesStrength]

@dazzlindarrent It was a Smiths & Morrissey night i did @ my nightclub. it is pretty clear if you read the comment correctly...by the way his name is spelt with 2R's & 2S's

[gavhenrad]

what a wanker this guy was and still is

[Rufusdos]

@gavhenrad philistine.

[gavhenrad]

@Rufusdos I wouldn't say he is a philistine. A wanker certainly and a gayboy but he is quite the opposite of a philistine.

[Rufusdos]

@gavhenrad Ha! nice try. I reckon you're a soap-on-a-roper.

[eggboyuk]

Need footage of Morrissey being an arrogant twerp?

[Lonewolfy101]

I wished i had the "Delorian"

[bichxx]

ughh i love him!

[almelshy]

This song is awesome!!! What a blast from my past!

[LondonNewyork1]

I've been trying to find the original version of this everywhere, with no success. Awsome song, and Morrissey has awsome hair!!

[simolui]

i could have been wild i could have been free, but nature played this trick on me....class!!!

[HiRodReigns]

which album is this from?

[simolui]

@HiRodReigns the smiths

[malonervozan]

"The Smiths"

[JeremyKKrantz]

"The Sound of the Smiths" album

[riotuesday]

This song is from the first album self titled "The Smiths"

[CassiusFA]

@HiRodReigns their first, its self titled

[BrokenOath00]

i want to be there :(!

[GrlLeastLikelyTo]

The people who whip the flowers at his head at concerts are kinda irritating.

[moewishaw]

wHERE Can i get the Live at Hacienda DVD? i've been looking for it for a few years!

[smaxit]

Shredding flowers about - how fun would that be !

[RunawayRocky]

yes, morrissey and marr

[joshymaca]

Poet and ya know it!

[rubbishycrap]

@blueroomexit Sorry blueroomexit, but Suede had neither Johnny Marr's amazing guitarwork or Morrissey's lyrics. Easily the most creative band of the 80s.

[FukinMikeAlright]

yeh i do like suede i enjoy the whole wierdness whilst being completely normal if you get me lol but like the smiths are far higher in my musical band list, other old stuff i like is Magazine, Squeeze, The Stranglers, Stone Roses and even early PIL before john lydon destroyed it and made it a commercial thing lol

[suparni]

Hi I like suede, saw them a few times in the 90s but I can't say I find them equal to the smiths... to each his own... cheers

[jpjames1]

What does this song mean? If it means girls are out to kill ya he is right

[endrju34]

No, it's about a girl, who want to have sex with him on the beach but he don't want to, so she find another man :P

For me its a song about stupid sluts ;]

[MD8058]

Please, don´r listen to them, but respect

people who do like The Smiths

[jelky112]

For me - its about a girl who want everything so fast and she what to live her life now.. there is no tomorrow for her and He is a sensitive guy who wants things slowly and he cant keep up with her and he cant give her what she needs so she dump him for another guy leaving him with broken heart in misery ,alive in his own grave that she diigged for him litterally ..Thats how I see it :*

[shatomanya]

You just go round saying that in every version of the song?..its all vanity, I've lost my faith in womanhood..Long live The Smiths.

[bradford71us]

@jelky112 i agree.

[jelky112]

@bradford71us

thanks ;) found myself in a song :*

[bradford71us]

@jelky112 youre a pretty girl who makes graves???
