The Smiths - London (Billy Liar video)

Music: The Smiths - London (1987),
Images: Billy Liar (1963).

Smoke lingers 'round your fingers
Train heave on to Euston
Do you think you've made the right decision this time?

You left your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad because you're leaving
But did you see jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind?
And do you think you've made the right decision this time?

You left your girlfriend on the platform
With this really ragged notion that you'll return
But she knows that when he goes
He really goes
And do you think you've made the right decision this time?

you cannot improve on perfection, and this song is perfection.

Check out the cover by Anthrax. It's heavier, meaner, and about a minute longer. lol.

Whatever it is, I think the lyrics and vocals make the song. It's all good, but the vocal work puts just the right icing of depression on it.

[MitchelGant]

A lot of their songs developed out of Moz singing over Instrumental tracks that Johnny had put together.
