  • This was the song that cemented their greatness.

  • I'm sorry I married that monster. I'm sorry he beat you, locked you in your room and threw your toys off the bridge. I know you find a lot of solace in this song. When I fell apart with alcohol, again I'm sorry, I was lost for a while in my own pain. Don't let him destroy you because then that a-hole wins again and he isn't worthy. Pick yourself up and brush yourself off and get on with living. I made a bad choice and I can't fix that but I love you so much... Mom :)

  • THE SMITHS = THE OXYGEN THAT I BREATHE DAY AFTER DAY, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, THE SUNSHINE IN MY SOUL, THE SMILE ON MY FACE - THE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!! :-))))

  • 2:19 Morrissey with long hair?! It just doesn't look right!

  • The last great band.

  • Seriously, fucking great & magic music :')

  • 5:53 to za krótko - mogłoby trwać choćby 30 minut

  • 15 minutes with you. I wouldnt say no. :-)

  • it's time the tale was told ...a song about the seventeen year old boy who was murdered by Brady & Hyndley , and is who almost forgotten, even now, because he was gay . Beaten to death with a hammer , as a spectator sport ! His murder was at least as vile as any they had already committed, but it has always felt ( at least to me ) that the press treated him as if he "got what he deserved'....it's time the tale was told , and the balance redressed, if only for his family sakes!

  • @regularguytoo1

    This isn't about the Brady & Hindley murders-Moz used Salford playwright Shelagh Delaney as a major source of inspiration for this track. "I dreamt about you last night..." is a direct lift from the play 'A Taste Of Honey' by Delaney.

    Suffer Little Children,however,was wrote about the Moors Murderers.

  • "You can pin and mount me like a butterfly" . . . echoes of the Jam's "Butterfly Collector"?

  • Comment removed

  • Fifteen minutes with you, I wouldn't say "No", people said you were virtually dead, they were so wrong, I couldn't express true love in a more poinant way ever!!

  • Can I dedicate this to my favourite GILF... Helen Mirren...

  • Comment removed

  • This song is both eloquent and disturbing.

  • I prefer the album version of this track, the piano bridge is a thing of beauty and missing on the HFOH version!

  • To my Ex>>>> "It's time the tale were told..."

  • superb

  • To me it means a parent or adult abused a child and he grew up and found love, a love that heals, a person to love him as he is, sees the worth in him and makes him feel worthy of love.

  • Comment removed

  • This version is better than the version on The Smiths. Both brilliant, but HFOH captures them so well.

  • wrong album...

  • this song is on the smiths and not hatful of hollow, sorry

  • @MrTheAlabam I don't mean to be rude but this song is actually on both albums. The 'The Smiths' album version is noticeably different. It has a much lighter sound and has piano/organ parts that are left out of this one. (Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!)

  • @blackorblue92 You're right. This version is on Hatful of Hollow. The version with piano is on The Smiths

  • WHERE'S THE FUCKING RED BAR ? AHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • This song is just so beautiful...timeless. Thanks Moz & Marr

  • i had this alum till someone robbed my place... bastards

  • PENIS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD -- loool. I'm using that.

  • How can anyone dislike this?

  • I think it's about fierce, but unrequited, lust and desire, not really love.

  • How can this so amazing!?

  • It's time the tale were told, of how you took a child and you made him old. Yeah, baby. This was poetry to my ears at age 16.

  • i dreamt about you and fell out of bed twice - A taste of honey

  • 7 people got slapped on the patio...

  • @simolui Happens ever thanksgiving.

  • I normally wouldnt refer to the dislikes bar, as comments that do bore me to tears ...but i do wonder who listens to this and takes the time to click the dislike button as if to register their misery with YT........ "well i dont like this" CLICK ..is this as imaginitive as todays trolls get ?

  • @bettypro Do you even know what a troll is?

  • @WUTBM fuck off....

  • Just perfect.

  • Truly the best! !!

  • MOZ is the BEST

  • I really prefer the original

  • I just found out that his first name is the same as mine (Steven)

  • This song is about pedophilia

  • @tdogwow what you mean, about pedophilia??

  • @wesniffinviparea "its time that the tale were told of how you took a child and made him old"

  • @tdogwow Another fallacy..

  • @tdogwow Well the Smiths deny that It Is about pedophilia, so that's only by you're own interpretation. " Its time that the tale were told of how you took a child and made him old" could quite easily refer to something else.

  • Comment removed

  • Respond to this video... Pedophillia wasnt around in the 80's back then there were just dirty uncles

  • @thenewfella1994 Incredible, huh! Peace always! 'I was looking for a job and then I found a job...' 'I was in New York when someone approached me for a record deal. And I wasn't looking for a deal.' - Avril Lavigne. Incredible, eh!

  • ..i dreamt about you last night and fell out of bed twice... still one of the best lines ever in a song it never fails to make me smile

  • @wardy0712 A line taken directly from the play 'A Taste Of Honey' by Shelagh Delaney. Morrissey loved the play and littered his early lyrics with quotes from the play.

  • .. i dreamt about you last night and fell about of bed twice...one of the best lines ever in a song doesnt fail to make me smile

  • amazing

    

  • Tell the tale MOZ, tell it!

  • Brilliant song.

  • perfect song!!

  • I originally thought the title of this song was '15 Minutes With You'. Thank goodness for youtube.

  • Best Lyrics ever?? "I dreamt about you last night and I fell out of bed twice. You can pin & mount me like a butterfly, but take me to the haven of your bed. was something that you never said...two lumps please, your the bees knees, but so am I."

  • @mollymaemorrissey Definatly! My favorite part of the song!

  • @mollymaemorrissey Yes. yes they are. If only you'd of got the 'you're/your' thing right.

  • " But so am i " what cheek a song totally smothered in irony and pathos just gorgeous and then the killer closing "people see no worth in you oh! but i do" probably the greatest wordsmith ever not to mention the genius who played guitar with him

  • @mollymaemorrissey i agree best lyrics ever

  • @mollymaemorrissey StiIl ill is better imo :)

  • thats why morrissey is do great. he wrote powerful lyrics. he's eveything engelbert wished he was :)

  • the line "I dreamt about you last night and I fell out of bed twice" comes from the movie "A taste of honey". Either that or its a saying i've just never heard before.

  • It's not a lack of research, it's just an interpretation. Morrissey himself lived the cases of the MoorsMurders and he himself talked of them as an early influence of fear, so it's understandable if someone took this song and it's nothing wrong wth it because I'm not acusing the Smiths or worse, in fact, I said "astonishing" cause Smiths are one of my favourtie bands ever. These particular songs are so wide in their senses that can have, as all Moz lyrics, a second view. That's all!

  • what is this song about then? im so confused :s

  • @JayeJayeBinks First love and sex, of course. It's clearly not abuse, it's very adoring. "How you took a child, and you made him old" isn't literal, it's about first love making you grow up.

  • @avatarmn ahh that makes so much sense. Thank you so much :D

  • Astonishing song about paedophilia. This one and "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle".

  • @AlbinusMakedonion None of the songs were ever about pedophilia. The British magazines took words with broad meanings and claimed that they were about pedophilia to give the smiths shit. Unless that's your own interpretation of the song, do yourself a favor and educate yourself before you say shit like that about the smiths.

  • @AlbinusMakedonion seriously ignorant statement that shows a total lack of research and jumping to conclusions. Consider changing those habits before they cause bigger problems.

  • @OctoSnuffaluffagus C'mon, lad! Take it easy, it's just an interpretation. Morrissey himself lived the cases of the MoorsMurders and he himself talked of them as an early influence of fear, so it's understandable if someone took this song this way and it's nothing wrong wth it because I'm not acusing the Smiths or worse, they're one of my favourtie bands ever. These particular songs are so wide in their senses that can have, as all Moz lyrics, a second view. That's all! Sorry if I offended YOU.

  • yeahh their still dreary W#-nk tho reall their not happy are they...but a reflection but what about optimism

  • @bigjkelly96 Well, yeah, maybe a little bit too darky. But it's an interesting view, don't you think? :P well, I mean, I believe that's the magnificent side of any good song. Also, I can say this song could be about faithfulness of relatives, I dunnno.

  • I won't say that 7 people are not humans but how can they not appreciate this song? It's magical.

  • I HAD SAID I DIDN'T LIKE THE LYRICS.... BUT AFTER HEARING THE SONG A COUPLE MILLION TIMES THIS SONG IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME! THX THE SMITHS

  • I enjoyed every minute of it, remastered...... WHO CARES if it is, where is your contribution ?????

  • What the fuck is??? Remastered, sounds shit!!

  • I would cry if someone sang this to me....

  • @eleanor7rigby

    I WOULD CRY TOO..... LOVE THIS SONG!

  • WOW THE LYRICS ARE KINDA WEIRD! BUT MORRISSEY,JOHNNY MARR, ANDY ROUKE AND MIKE JOYCE MAKES IT PERFECT! ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I LOVE THE SMITHS

  • Morrissey & Johnny come back and save the world from Garry & Robbie...Please x

  • @ 5:32 - 5:53 reverberates to my heart ("oh I do") till the very end, indeed.

  • "I dreamt about you last night abd I fell out of bed twice"

    Those words kepp me going :)

  • @dyyschta But did you know these are not Morrissey'a own words? They are borrowed from the film adaptation of A Taste of Honey by playwright Shelagh Delaney. He was a fan of hers, obviously. She was cover star of Louder Than Bombs LP and Girlfriend In A Coma single.

  • @scooterboyuk Ah cool, I'll check it out :) Didn't know that actually.

  • Lav dish shongg <3 (love this song*)

  • fifteen minutes with you... oh, i wouldn't say NO.

  • The best band of all time! And this is their masterpiece!

  • The best band of all time! And this is their masterpiece!

  • "oh people see no worth in you

    oh but I do"

    One of the best smiths tracks ... outstanding !!!

  • umm i'm in the mood to listen to morrissey but damnit if i don't have any pot!

    such a handsome devil

  • umm i'm in the mood to listen to morrissey but damnit if i don't have any pot!

  • Hey... Hey! Four hundred and thirty two people who like this! Yeah, you. D'you reckon we can take the guys that don't? I reckon... I don't usually discriminate with regard to musical taste, but y'know. I'm in one of those violent 'let's-go-kick-the-living-piss­-out-of-someone-innocent' moods. So what, ya in? :P

  • i dreamt of you and fell out of bed twice

  • cheryl cole 15 minutes with you ooohhh i wouldnt say no, wicked song, handsome devil is an underated smiths song that is absolutly amazing.....peace x

  • 4 people are musically and culturally challenged 

  • @crazyflyingguy ...isn't that kind of an arrogant remark to make? I mean, I like Morrissey and The Smiths, but to each their own.

    I think the biggest problem most people have with some "Moz Fanatics" are the pretentious sentiments that tend to spew out of their mouths, aimlessly and without any reason beyond powdering their own ass. It makes them look like a group of hipster douche bags.

  • @crazyflyingguy dont forget mentally challenged too.

  • @crazyflyingguy seven now...and they have no soul

  • "people see no worth in you... i do".

    If you've ever had a relationship where everyone's against it, you can relate to it. This was my anthem as a teen.

  • la version de boom boom kid es genial!!! =) 15 minutos con vos

  • People said that you were easily led - and they were half right...

  • You're the bee's knees

    But so am I

    My fav Smiths song ever, i listen to this over and over again Love Morrisseys Lyrics and his unique way of expressing em' love Marrs Beautiful guitar riffs... love Rourkes Bass line and i love the drums from Joyce simply couldnt get a better line up if you tryed!

  • puts U2 in the shade...

  • @paddymourinho ack! *spits* you can't even mention them in the same breath! This is musical poetic perfection, U2 are just....shite...

  • Sick Ass Song

  • "You can pin and mount me, like a butterfly..."

    Has sexual innuendo ever sounded as beautiful as this?

  • thanx for the info.

  • this band and morrisseys solo carrer dam when ur having a bad day and you thinking alot or u having a great day and just a normal time it makes you feel great no matter what dam the best!

  • the lyrics are very unsettling..

  • LIisten .. 15 minutos con vos by boom boom kid

  • mmm...that one ???

  • this is much better than the original version... not that the original was bad. does anyone know what album this version is on? thanx.

  • @nalydrolyat2

    Hatful of Hallow

  • @nalydrolyat2 Hatful of hollow

  • "Fifteen minutes with you

    Oh, I wouldn't say no"

    I listen to this song countless times!

  • this song made me cry for some reason...

  • Who the hell put thumbs down? Not only is this song amazing, so is the video. Lovely photos of The Smiths :-D

  • A classic...I still have the vinyl with Joe Dallessandro on the sleeve.

  • To the day i die... this will always stop me in my tracks. They could have stopped here ......they has summited Everest

  • wow, Johnny sported some massive emo haircuts back when 'emo' wasn't even invented yet

  • chingonada de rola

  • yeah the smiths are extremely english. lol

  • i put this song on just to hear morrissey say "people see no worth in you, Oh' but i do..." it gives me chills and a sad feeling. itss amazing just for that one line.

  • @indiebird12 Well said. So true.

  • the first lyrics i heard from morrissey,and obviously i fell in love......gorgeous lyrics.

    "people see no worth in you, i do" more superlatives than you can shake a stick at..."you're the bees knees but so am i" "fiftteen minutes with you,well i wouldn't say no" how can someone write that many fantanstic lines into one song?

    this song is only just bettered by "reel around the fountain" in my humble opinion.

    i feel really honourned to have around at the beginning of the smiths

  • @chrisdavid4026 i don't mean to be a fussy bugger but this 'is' real around the fountain.

  • @Telfer81 Are you sure?? I'd better check my record cover...

  • 15 minutes with you, oh I wouldn't say no...

  • "you can pin and mount me like a butterfly"

     just beautiful.

  • @forky401 Serious? You realise the song from the viewpoint of a victom of pedophelia.

  • @xretractedx don't read too much into it, it's just a song. And yes I am serious.

  • people see no worth in you,i do

  • Make sexual innuendo, not war!

  • It doesn't get any better than this :)

  • One of the Top 10 songs of all time.

    Fuckwits can try to list 11 better :-)

  • probably the most beautiful song ever, scratch that it bloody well is.

  • I love this

  • This is about child abuse/the Moors Murders correct?

  • @wowhelloashleigh No that was "suffer little children" the last one of the first album. A great song wich includes real conversations among the killer on the courthouse..

  • @wowhelloashleigh 'Suffer Little Children" is about The Moors Murders. This song is about a victim coming face to face with abuser/molestor and seeing him as an old worthless drunk/hobo whose only worth a 15 minute beating he has so long deserved.

  • @Wiser72 thanks man i knew it had to do with abuse in some way or another and not a love song :/. Thanks again

  • Sat in bret's the old tap room in the black bull in dewsbury, feb 28 1985 my 18th birthday playing this song. The smiths the greatest band that ever will live. HAIL! HJAIL!

  • This song is just AWESOME , if you're high, it's so deeeep.....

  • seems kind of pointless to single out just one, but if I had to name a Smiths song as the best, this might be it. see, so many bands were influenced by Marr's chiming riffs, Morrissey's keening vocals, and so on, but how could any immitator hope to replicate the hypnotic, spiralling melancholy of this song? it's deceptively simple...it's about the chemistry as much as anything.

    Morrissey is on rare form in this, particularly. the repetition of "oh I do..." at the end kills me.

  • is this a different recording than the debut album version produced by Porter? i cant make out the differences...yet.

  • i dreamt about you last night ; )

  • @mysticalHeir That line is ripped in adoration from Shelagh Delaney's play A Taste of Honey, which is fantastic and Morrissey himself loves
