Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
A Smiths musical? Sounds crazy, but it could work. And now I’m going to take a tip from the writer of that preview, who finishes by listing a few of her favorite lyrics…
When you say it’s gonna happen “now”
well, when exactly do you mean?
see I’ve already waited too long
and all my hope is gone
–The Smiths, “How Soon is Now?”
if it’s not Love
Then it’s the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together
–The Smiths, “Ask” (background singing by the divine Kirsty MacColl).
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine
–The Smiths, “There is a Light That Never Goes Out”
that joke isn’t funny anymore
It’s too close to home
And it’s too near the bone
It’s too close to home
And it’s too near the bone
More than you’ll ever know …
I’ve seen this happen in other people’s
Lives
And now it’s happening in mine
–The Smiths, “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore.”
