    I was 15 when The Smiths came out, I was so, so happy. They actually saved music from the image based New Romantics. It was so good to have a genuine band who wrote some of the greatest tracks of the '80s, had a guitarist who was a genius (How Soon is Now is a masterpiece) and a front man, who made a mockery of those front men at the time who thought they were all that mattered. Morrissey with a very out of date huge Elvis style Quiff, Specs on, hearing aid, a huge shirt, blouse far too big for him and best of all he started with a bunch of flowers, and gradually as they had more appearances, he had a forest hanging out of the back of his trousers. My mid to late teens was saved by The Smiths albums and singles. Morrissey/Marr, the Lennon/McCartney, Jones/Strummer of the '80s. They influenced Noel Gallagher and Oasis and The Stone Roses, who influenced a lot of others and on it goes. The Smiths saved our music in the '80s, Thank You Smiths.👍

    Lyrics:
    All men have secrets and here is mine
    So let it be known
    For we have been through hell and high tide
    I think I can rely on you
    And yet you start to recoil
    Heavy words are so lightly thrown
    But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
    So, what difference does it make?
    So, what difference does it make?
    It makes none
    But now you have gone
    And you must be looking very old tonight
    The devil will find work for idle hands to do
    I stole and I lied, and why?
    Because you asked me to!
    But now you make me feel so ashamed
    Because I've only got two hands
    Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
    So, what difference does it make?
    Oh, what difference does it make?
    Oh, it makes none
    But now you have gone
    And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight
    Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
    I stole, and then I lied
    Just because you asked me to
    But now you know the truth about me
    You won't see me anymore
    Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
    But no more apologies
    No more, no more apologies
    Oh, I'm too tired
    I'm so sick and tired
    And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
    But I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
    Oh, my sacred one
    Oh
