I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
And I missed my bed
And I soon came home

They said :
"There's too much caffeine
In your bloodstream
And a lack of real spice
In your life"


I said :
"Leave me alone
Because I'm alright, dad
Surprised to still
Be on my own..."


Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So it shall be again
And people who are uglier than you and I
They take what they need, and just leave


Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So why can't it be now ?
And people who are weaker than you or I
They take what they want from life


Oh, but don't mention love
No - no, don't mention love !
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
Your youth may be gone
But you're still a young man
So phone me, phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me


Oh, I think I'm in love
Oh, I think I'm in love
Oh, I think I'm in love (think I'm in love)
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv
Oh ...

  • @YamiChan31: lolwut? Morrissey and Marr were credited for writing every song in their catalogue (aside from covers). If you were saying that about Andy Rourke, I'd be behind you 100%. But Marr has gotten his dues for his work with The Smiths. No doubt about it.

  • weiger van

  • Morrissey + Marr = Genius

  • Classical rock from Manchester ! Can't get better !

  • I just want to know Who is Troubled Joe

  • man, why doesn't Marr get the credits he so deserve in writing most of their songs? he is the MAN

  • @LegRoom3 oh so you watch that show too huh?

  • @RESISTANCEhalesalive Looks like the house from The Young Ones :D
