[Stitchell]

Which Moz/Smiths song has the line "You with youth on your side"?

For the life and shame of me I can't remember....

 

[DeliciousDemon]

If I'm not mistaken it's "Sister I'm a poet"

 

[Stitchell]

Thanks! Thats one of my fave Moz songs too.....*shamefaced*

Which Moz/Smiths song has the line "You with youth on your side"?

For the life and shame of me I can't remember....

SISTER I'M A POET *
All over this town
Yes a low wind may blow
And I can see through everybody's clothes with no reason
To hide these words I feel
And no reason to talk about the books I read
But still I do
That's 'cuz I'm a
Sister I'm a, all over this town
Along this way
Outside the prison gates
I love the romance of crime
And I wonder does anybody feel the same way I do?
And is evil just something you are, or something you do?
Sister I'm a
Sister I'm a, all over this town

All over this town
They pull over in their Citroen vans
Not to shake your hands
With meths on their breaths
And you with youth on your side
All alone waiting at the light
But not this time
Sister I'm a
Sister I'm all over this town

Hah, I get that all the time...random Moz phrases popping into my head and I have to sing all the way through the song to work out what it is.

Kind of annoying, actually. Rather distracting. (I had one today but I can't remember what it was.)

 

[DeliciousDemon]

Wilde I get that too. It can be really annoying!

 

[shane sarabia]

I agree also!
It always happens to me at least twice a day.
If not, I hear some random word by anyone or on the radio or television and then I automatically remember of a song in which that word is in, or it could even be a short phrase.

Ah, looks like we are all diagnosed with the same condition... Google is always helpful in these awkward situations. Just type the line and then "morrissey lyrics". The lines that have caused me problems were from songs so well known that I would be absolutely embarrassed to ask about them here!

I have a poster at work with the headline 'INSTANT COVER', when I put it up I sing John Lennon's Instant Karma!

I need some Lyric help as well:

about In The Future When All's Well

who's Lee?

I thank you
I thank you with all of my heart
I thank you
I thank you with all of my heart
Lee, please stand up and defend me
In the future when all's well
confront what you are afraid of
in the future when all's well

Aly Panic does Lennon cover!

It beats singing "You've Got A Friend"!

 

[chica]

So, you do Carole King too? *coughs*
I guess my "sin" would be "Picture This" by Blondie. I can't help myself when I hear that song!

If you're not from the UK you wouldn't have got my joke!

The AA sing 'You've Got A Friend' on their adverts, I work for their rivals RAC.

AA are a bunch of tossers!!

Ah, that explains it. It was professional envy then

P.S. Just to go back to the subject, I have NO IDEA what song your sig comes from! I could sing it though...

P.P.S. Right. Floorboards.

That's the one - Moz changed the lyric!

Oh ok I though he meant Lee Marvin!

This threads great, I thought I was alone in my lyrical amnesia!
