A narrative song from The Smiths that concludes in Morrissey losing
hope of ever sustaining a relationship with a woman. Also the
name of a band from
Seattle, which formed almost two decades after that brilliant song was written.
Upon the sand, upon the bay
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
Before you illustrate
I'
d rather state :
"I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am"
And Sorrow's native
sonHe will not smile for anyone
And Pretty
Girls Make Graves
Ohh....
End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say : "Give in to lust,
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust ... "
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And Sorrow's native
sonHe will not rise for anyone
And Pretty
Girls Make Graves
Oh, really ?
Oh ...
