Is it Really So Strange? (John Peel session, 12/2/86) - The Smiths

I left the North

I traveled South

I found a tiny house

And I can't help the way that I feel

Oh yes, you can kick me

And you can punch me

And you can break my face

But you won't change the way I feel

'Cause I love you, oh

And is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so, really so strange?

I say,

"No

", you say,

"Yes

But you will change your mind

I left the South

I traveled North

I got confused, I killed a horse

I can't help the way that I feel

Oh yes, you can kick me

And you can butt me

And you can break my spine

But you won't change the way I feel

'Cause I love you, oh

And is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so strange?

Oh, is it really so, really so strange?

I say,

"No

", you say,

"Yes

But you will change your mind

I left the North again

I traveled South again

And I got confused, I killed a nun

I can't help the way I feel

I can't help the way I feel

I can't help the way I feel

I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell

Why is the last mile the hardest mile?

My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes

And I realized, I realized

I could never, I could never, never, go back home again
