THE SMITHS lyrics - A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours

HELLO

I am the ghost of Troubled Joe

Hung by his pretty white neck

Some eighteen months ago

I travelled to a mystical time zone

But I missed my bed

So I soon came home

They said:

"there's too much caffeine

In your blood stream

And a lack of real spice

In your life"

I said:

"leave me alone because I'm alright, dad

Just surprised to still be on my own...."

Ooh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the strain of the pain again

A rush and a push and the land that

We stand on is ours

It has been before

So it shall be again

And people who are uglier than you and I

They take what they need, and leave

Ooh, but don't mention love

I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again

A rush and a push and the land that

We stand on is ours

It has been before

So why can't it be now?

And people who are weaker than you and I

They take what they want from life

Ooh, but don't mention love

No - just don't mention love!

A rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours

Your youth may be gone

But you're still a yound man

So phone me, phone me, phone me

So phone me, phone me, phone me

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Ooh, I think I'm in love

Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv
