The Smiths - Pretty Girls Make Graves
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 son
He will not smile for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
Oh ...
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 son
He will not rise for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
Oh really ?
Oh ...
I could have been wild and I could have
Been free
But nature played this trick on me
She wants it now
And she will not wait
But she’s too rough
And I’m too delicate
Then, on the sand
Another man, he takes her hand
A smile lights up her face
(and well, it would)
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith ...
Oh ...
Hand in glove ...
The sun shines out of our behinds ...
Oh ...

THE SMITHES 1982年成立于英國(guó)的曼徹斯特，1988年解散，MORRISSEY獨(dú)立發(fā)展。在以新浪潮(New Wave)為主流并且引發(fā)第二次英倫入侵美國(guó)(British Invasion)過(guò)程中，THE SMITHES卻婉拒多家主流公司六位數(shù)(英鎊)的優(yōu)渥條件而與獨(dú)立唱片Rough Trade簽約。在獨(dú)立唱片公司中THE SMITHES不需依照流行的口味生產(chǎn)音樂(lè)，在音樂(lè)上他們回歸簡(jiǎn)單的四人樂(lè)隊(duì)，以吉他伴奏為主，屬新音樂(lè)(Brit Rock)主宰流行市場(chǎng)都是曼徹斯特吉他樂(lè)團(tuán)興起的影響所及；在歌詞方面，他們有著尖銳的政治、人文批判，THE SMITHES因此在非流行的獨(dú)立唱片排行(Independent Chart, Indie)擁有超高人氣，在英國(guó)流行單曲、專輯榜上亦是成績(jī)斐然。
