The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me

"Strangeways, Here We Come", (1987)

Lyrics:

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

So tell me how long
Before the last one?
And tell me how long
Before the right one?

The story is old - I know
But it goes on
This story is old - I know
But it goes on

Goes on...

[kosmischesynth]

great song, but the intro should've been left off

[HeadfulOfHollow]

@kosmischesynth A version without the intro exists, on "The Sound of The Smiths".

[boojiray]

The intro makes the song. Sets a very stark mood.

[mrduskoe]

every time i hear this song,

i cry...

[GameOf2Halves]

@kosmischesynth Heresy! :-) Just thinking aloud... but perhaps the intro is the surreal, dream-like state, then waking abruptly to the part which you don't want to scrap;-)

[GameOf2Halves]

@HeadfulOfHollow Oooh..right away I don't like the sound of that title... sounds like a "let's milk this band one more time" afterthought "best of" album.

@Avziee Andre 3000 from hip hop duo Outkast named this one as the song that he most wishes that he had written...thought I'd share that one as well :) For me this is only second to I Know It's Over

[VeryUniqueX]

Last night I really did dream that someone loved me... No hope, no harm, just another false alarm.

[Avziee]

This is David Bowie's favorite Smiths song..just thought I'd share that cool fact with you guys (:

[donnybrooklads]

Epic band. Epic song. Never forgotten

[philadavidson]

God save the Smiths, music legends

[runfromgaga]

sorry to the family if rats i killed. this was their cry

[Sjearley1]

This song is ace, so moving and yet so cold
