The Smiths - Shoplifters of the world unite

The Smiths - "Shoplifters..."

Lyrics:
Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crime
My only weakness is ... well, never mind, never mind

Oh, shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over
Hand it over
Hand it over


Learn to love me
And assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow, and always
My only weakness is a listed crime
But last night the plans of a future war
Was all I saw on Channel Four


Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over
Hand it over
Hand it over


A heartless hand on my shoulder
A push - and it's over
Alabaster crashes down
(Six months is a long time)
Tried living in the real world
Instead of a shell
But before I began ...
I was bored before I even began


Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Take over

This MUSIC is timeless and relevant for anyone just discovery these CLASSIC gems which I grow-up to living in the Bronx in New York City in the mid 1980s. I discovered it with GOOD friends (some gone but some remain). I know they will NEVER play live again with all the tainted BAD BLOOD between them but for a TIME capsule in so many hearts, They will forever keep on ROCKING!!!!

He seems high when he dances <3 Love it though, its so strange and so beautiful :)

@WillW4 Thanks for the background. Yes it's cool that he's not even pretending. That seems so Morrissey!

[WillW4]

@vlopresto yeah he is definitely lip syncing, but this was recorded for the BBC's 'Top of the Pops' where lip syncing was standard for much of the programs history especially from this era. i think its cool that Morrissey wasnt even bothering to pretend with a microphone. the rest of the band probably aren't playing live either, but i'm not sure on that one
