The Smiths

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 you'd wanted to
You could have said no
If you'd wanted to
BPI, MTV, BBC
Please them ! Please them !
(sadly this was your life)
But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have walked away
...Couldn't you ?
I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged Take me with you ...
I don't care where you're going...
But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
