At the record company meeting
On their hands - a dead star
And oh, the plans they weave
And oh, the sickening greed
At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say :
I knew him first, and I knew him well
Re-issue ! re-package ! re-package !
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist
Please them , please them !
Please them !
(sadly, this was your life)
But you could have said no
If youd wanted to
You could have said no
If youd wanted to
Bpi, mtv, bbc
Please them ! please them !
(sadly this was your life)
But you could have said no
If youd wanted to
You could have walked away
...couldnt you ?
I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged take me with you ...
I dont care where youre going...
But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know
Oh ...
Best of ! most of !
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves !
Buy both, and feel deceived
Climber - new entry, re-entry
World tour ! (media whore)
Please the press in belgium !
(this was your life...)
And when it fails to recoup ?
Well, maybe :
You just havent earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
Youre just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm
So, in my bedroom in those ugly new houses
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my true love
Will never meet again ...
At the record company meeting
On their hands - at last ! - a dead star !
But they can never taint you in my eyes
No, they can never touch you now
No, they cannot hurt you, my darling
They cannot touch you now
But me and my true love
Will never meet again
Der musikalische text PAINT A VULGAR PICTURE von THE SMITHS ist auch in dem Album vorhanden Strangeways (1987)
The Smiths sono stati una band indie rock britannica formatasi a Manchester nel 1982. Il gruppo era composto da Morrissey (voce), Johnny Marr (chitarra), Andy Rourke (basso) e Mike Joyce (batteria). Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della musica indipendente degli anni '80, The Smiths hanno combinato melodie orecchiabili con testi introspettivi e spesso melancolici di Morrissey, che affrontavano temi come l'alienazione, la solitudine e l'amore non corrisposto. La loro musica ha avuto un impatto significativo sulla scena musicale britannica e internazionale, influenzando generi come il post-punk, lo shoegaze e il britpop. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di The Smiths figurano "How Soon Is Now?", "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" e "This Charming Man". L'album di debutto "The Smiths" (1984) è considerato un classico del genere indie rock, mentre "Meat Is Murder" (1985) ha affrontato temi politici e animalisti. Dopo una serie di successi, The Smiths si sono sciolti nel 1987 a causa di contrasti interni. Morrissey ha intrapreso una carriera solista di successo, mentre Johnny Marr è diventato un rinomato produttore e musicista collaborando con artisti come Modest Mouse e The Cribs.
