    I'm enjoying this thread. It's giving me a playlist for this horrible work I'm trying to do while fighting off sleep.

    Mike Scott speaking dreaming words:
    A man is in love, how do I know?
    He came and walked with me, and he told me so
    In a song he sang, and then I knew
    A man is in love with you

    A man is in love, how did I hear?
    I heard him talk too much whenever you're near
    He whispered your name when his eyes were closed
    A man is in love and he knows

    A man is in love, how did I guess?
    I figured it out while he was watching you dress
    He'd give you his all, if you'd but agree
    A man is in love and he's me

    Ah bless, the Smyths were depressing, the Waterboys uplifting.

    And THe Waterboys won, yeah right!

    Now you're just trolling.

    I'm going to bed. I expect this to be in the Legendary Threads thread by the time I get up.

    Fishermens Blues will be in the legendary threads, about time under rated bands got recognition and wrongs got righted. Jimmy Saville liked the Smytrhs, hated the Water boys.

    I'm of the opinion that Bona Drag and Vauxhall & I are as strong, musically and lyrically, with anything Morrissey ever released with The Smiths.

    Spring-Heeled Jim, The End of the Family Line, Speedway, Piccadilly Palare, Alma Matters, are amongst my personal favourites from his 90's period.

    Of course he made some terrible misjudgments along the way (flirtation with right-wing imagery, unimaginative pun songs such as Roy's Keen and King Leer, this album cover http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/Morrissey_Maladjusted.jpg), but his solo career still has a lot to offer.

    As for Smiths lyrics, 'What she said, I smoke because I'm hoping for an early death, and I need something to cling to' and 'When I'm lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death; and neither one particularly appeals to me' spring to mind, along with the line 'Life is very long when you're lonely' from The Queen is Dead.

    Amazing when you consider that his favourite music includes Alma Cogan, Cilla Black, Twinkle, Diana Dors, and others. Not that there's anything wrong with that (because they're all great.)

    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    And as I climb into an empty bed
    Oh well. Enough said.
    I know it's over - still I cling
    I don't know where else I can go
    Oh ...
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    See, the sea wants to take me
    The knife wants to slit me
    Do you think you can help me ?
    Sad veiled bride, please be happy
    Handsome groom, give her room
    Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
    (Though she needs you
    More than she loves you)
    And I know it's over - still I cling
    I don't know where else I can go
    Over and over and over and over
    Over and over, la ...
    I know it's over
    And it never really began
    But in my heart it was so real
    And you even spoke to me, and said :
    "If you're so funny
    Then why are you on your own tonight ?
    And if you're so clever
    Then why are you on your own tonight ?
    If you're so very entertaining
    Then why are you on your own tonight ?
    If you're so very good-looking
    Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
    I know ...
    'Cause tonight is just like any other night
    That's why you're on your own tonight
    With your triumphs and your charms
    While they're in each other's arms..."
    It's so easy to laugh
    It's so easy to hate
    It takes strength to be gentle and kind
    Over, over, over, over
    It's so easy to laugh
    It's so easy to hate
    It takes guts to be gentle and kind
    Over, over
    Love is Natural and Real
    But not for you, my love
    Not tonight, my love
    Love is Natural and Real
    But not for such as you and I, my love
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
