Bengali, Bengali
Bengali, Bengali
No no no
He does not want to depress you
Oh no no no no no
He only wants to impress you

Bengali in platforms
He only wants to embrace your culture
And to be your friend forever
Forever

Bengali, Bengali
Bengali, Bengali
Oh, shelve your Western plans
And understand
That life is hard enough when you belong here

A silver-studded rim that glistens
And an ankle-star that.. blinds me
A lemon sole so very high
Which only reminds me to tell you
"Break the news gently
Break the news to him gently"
Shelve your plans, shelve your plans, shelve them

Bengali, Bengali
It's the touchy march of time that binds you
Don't blame me
Don't hate me
Just because I'm the one to tell you
That life is hard enough when you belong here
That life is hard enough when you belong here

Shelve your Western plans
Shelve your Western plans
'Cause life is hard enough when you belong
Life is hard enough when you belong here

Shelve your Western plans
'Cause life is hard when you belong here
Life is hard enough when you belong

  • Morrisey writes songs about esoteric subjects others don't touch on. The assumption that he is racist just because the song has lines that racists will gravitate to is simplistic and imho false. It reminds me about the flack that carole king gets for writing "it felt like a kiss" You have to look beyond the obvious and use the mind you are blessed with to fuly appreciate any work of art, be it a song, a poem, a novel, a painting etc.

  • woohoo, I'm Bengali!..:)

  • "Life is hard enough when you belong here" one of my fav moz lines.

  • Could somebody please explain to me how this is racist? When I first heard it I thought it was about the show made of Bengali Tigers in zoos/ circuses etc. The conventional wisdom is entirely different but I still don't see how it's racist?

  • im bengali and i love this song

  • I love the fact Morrissey still today is stirring the pot with lyrics like this one...Timeless masterpiece! *breaking the news gently*

  • I am a 44 yr old african american who has been listening to Smiths/Morrissey/Steven(his first name same as mine) since 1985 and will till I leave this earth. My wife kept sayin why u always listen to that gay guy?!!! Needless to say she is my EXXXXXX!!! Go Morrissey!!

  • @Xcorgi Dude, dont tell me I dunno racism muthafu%$a! Do you know what its like being a 24 year old black man done 3 tours a duty in fu%$in Baghdad? What its like rumblin down Baghdad Highway 1 all geared up in your Abrams Fighting Vehicle with RPGs roaring past your fu%$in head,dude? Do you? I certainly don´t :D

  • @RideMyF150 Youre completely fucked in the head if you think Morrissey is a racist. In his song America Is Not the World he complains about the U.S not having a president who is not black, female or gay. This was before Obama got into office. Hell, Morrissey is either gay or bi himself so no, he's not a basher regarding race or otherwise.

  • @Xcorgi dunno dude, mighta been the fu$#in disgustin coffee here at the office...put me in a sh%$ mood
