"The Queen Is Dead", tercer álbum de The Smiths y considerado por muchos (incluyéndome) el mejor de la banda, fue lanzado en junio de 1986.
NEVER HAD NO ONE EVER
Varias de sus canciones. como el sencillo "Bigmouth Strikes Again" y otros cortes como "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" y "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others"se escuchaban mucho en las radios y en las discotecas a las que íbamos los entonces adolescentes, de modo que la audición del presente tiene una carga afectiva importante.
También desde entonces, considero a Morrisey como uno de los más grandes artistas británicos; y otro tanto diría de su compañero Johnny Marr.
SOME GIRLS ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS
THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
(repite hasta el final)
