I decree today that life Is simply taking and not giving [Kansas City] is mine -- it owes me a living But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
"I was happy in the haze of a broken hour, and heaven knows I'm miserable now".
Who couldn't dig that kind of angst?
Smiths ruled...Morissey whined...and ladies swooned. And not a few girlie-men.
"Meat is Murder" channeled that anti-LSD movie where the ladies hot dog comes to life.
"thirtysomething" portrayed Smiths self-absorbed and self-flagellant lyrics as full one-hour shows...in prime time. And sponsors ponied up the big bucks.
