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...
