Paint A Vulgar Picture - 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
Just a child from those ugly new houses

Who could never begin to know

Who could never really know

Oh
Best of Most of
Satiate the need

Slip them into different sleeves

Buy both and feel deceived

Climber - new entry re-entry

World tour ("media whore")

"Please the Press in Belgium "

(THIS was your life )

And when it fails to recoup
Well maybe :

You just haven't earned it yet baby

I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck

You're just the same as I am

What makes most people feel happy

Leads us headlong into harm

So in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'

I danced my legs down to the knees

But me and my 'true love'

Will never meet again

At the record company meeting

On their hands - at last - a dead star
But they can never taint you in my eyes

No they can never touch you now

No they cannot hurt you my darling

They cannot touch you now

But me and my 'true love'

Will never meet again
