The Smiths fue una banda de rock formada en Manchester, Inglaterra en 1982 por el cantante Morrissey y el guitarrista Johnny Marr. La banda disfrutó de un éxito considerable hasta su separación en 1987. Su música ha sido de gran influencia en la música indie.
Dos de las cosas más notables del grupo fue su polémico cantante, un avezado lector fanático de Oscar Wilde y James Dean, con sus no menos polémicas letras repletas de poesía y la música compuesta por Marr

INTRO: GAG#mG B Farewell to this land's cheerless marches hemmed in like a boar between arches her very Lowness with her head in a sling DE I'm truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing B I say Charles don't you ever crave to appear on the front of the Daily Mail DEGAG#mG dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?
B And so I checked all the registered historical facts and I was shocked into shame to discover how I'm the 18th pale descendent DE of some old queen or other B Oh has the world changed, or have I changed? oh has the world changed, or have I changed? some nine year old tough who peddles drugs DEGAG#mG I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were B So I broke into the Palace with a sponge and a rusty spanner she said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing" DE I said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano" B We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry and talk about precious things but when you are tied to your mother's apron DEGAG#mG no-one talks about castration B We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry and talk about precious things like love and law and poverty DE these are the things that kill me
(same as above) We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry and talk about precious things but the rain that flattens my hair these are the things that kill me B Passed the pub that saps your body and the church who'll snatch your money D the Queen is dead, boys E and it's so lonely on a limb
Pass the pub that wrecks your body and the church, all they want is your money the Queen is dead, boys and it's so lonely on a limb BDE Life is very long, when you're lonely life is very long, when you're lonely life is very long, when you're lonely life is very long, when you're lonely
