Miserable Lie Lyrics - The Smiths - The Smiths

So, goodbye, please stay with your own kind 

And I'll stay with mine, there's something against us 

It's not time, it's not time 

So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye 

I know I need hardly say 

How much I love your casual way 

Oh, but please put your tongue away 

A little higher and we're well away 

The dark nights are drawing in 

And your humor is as black as them 

I look at yours, and you laugh at mine 

And love is just a miserable lie 

You have destroyed my flower like life 

Not once, twice 

You have corrupt my innocent mind 

Not once, twice 

I know the wind swept mystical air 

It means I'd like to see your underwear 

I recognize that mystical air 

It means I'd like to seize your underwear 

What do we get for our trouble and pain? 

Just a rented room in Whalley Range 

What do we get for our trouble and pain? 

Whalley Range, into the depths of the criminal world 

I followed her 

I need advice, I need advice 

I need advice, I need advice 

Nobody ever looks at me twice 

Nobody ever looks at me twice 

I'm just a country mile behind, the world 

I'm just a country mile behind, the whole world 

I'm just a country mile behind, the world 

I'm just a country mile behind, the whole world 

Take me when you go 

Take me when you go 

I need advice, I need advice
