A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours - The Smiths

Oh 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

and i missed my bed

and i soon came home

They said:

"there's too much caffeine

in your bloodstream

and a lack of real spice

in your life"

i said:

"leave me alone

because i'm alright, dad

surprised to still

be on my own..."

oh, 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 just leave

oh, 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 or i

they take what they want from life

oh, but don't mention love

no - no, 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 young man

so phone me, phone me, phone me

so phone me, phone me, phone me

oh, i think i'm in love

oh, i think i'm in love

oh, i think i'm in love (think i'm in love)

urrgh, i think i'm in lerv

oh ...
