The Smiths foi uma banda britânica formada em Manchester em 1982. Tendo como principal característica a parceria nas composições de Morrissey (vocal) e Johnny Marr (guitarras), a banda também incluía Andy Rourke no baixo e Mike Joyce como baterista. Os críticos consideram a banda como sendo a mais importante banda de rock alternativo a surgir nos anos 80. A banda assinou com o selo Rough Trade Records, pelo qual eles lançaram quatro álbuns, várias coletâneas e diversos singles. Embora alcançado pouco sucesso comercial fora do Reino Unido nos seus anos de atividade, a banda conquistou grande sucesso nos anos decorrentes, mantendo-se nas prateleiras das lojas até os dias de hoje. A banda encerrou suas atividades em 1987, nunca vindo a se reunir novamente.

Take me out tonight

Where there's music and there's people

Who are young and alive

Driving in your car

I never never want to go home

Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight

Because I want to see people

And I want to see lights

Driving in your car

Oh please don't drop me home

Because it's not my home

It's their home

And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus

Crashes into us

To die by your side

Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck

Kills the both of us

To die by your side

Well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight

Take me anywhere

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

And in the darkened underpass, I thought

"Oh, God, my chance has come at last"

But then a strange fear gripped me

And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight

Oh take me anywhere

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

Driving in your car

I never never want to go home

Because I haven't got one, no no no

Oh, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus

Crashes into us

To die by your side

Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck

Kills the both of us

To die by your side

Well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light that never goes out

There is a light that never goes out

There is a light that never goes out

There is a light that never goes out...
