    Good times for a change
    See, the luck I've had
    Can make a good man
    Turn bad
    So please please please
    Let me, let me, let me
    Let me get what I want
    This time
    Haven't had a dream in a long time
    See, the life I've had
    Can make a good man bad
    So for once in my life
    Let me get what I want
    Lord knows, it would be the first time
    Lord knows, it would be the first time

    It's so hard not relate to this song on such a personal level. It's beautiful but it's also real. It's literally begging for fortune after nothing but misery but presented in such a positive frame of music that it's like fresh air. Even though I could listen to this song forever the fact its so short and sweet fits so fucking well. Damn I miss the Smiths.

    I had such an experience listening at this song...
    Once my (ex)boyfriend played The Smiths in the summertime and I told him: "what are you doing? The Smiths are for the autumn or the winter, the rain and the night..." so he stopped. After half a year he played this song. As the song started, it started raining; as the music went up, the rain raised, and when the song finished, the rain, suddenly, stopped. I was in tears, and asked him: "did you realise what just happened?" ...and he didn't, I was closer to the kitchen open door...
    This song is a prayer and, in that very moment, I felt that for once in my life what I wanted just happened, God (or whateveri it is) listened at me, and answered.
    In tears again while writting this. Thanx Smiths, thanx Morrisey, thanx for sharing this video, thanx for reading my story.

      starlodear I've watched family, friends and beloved pets die and it hurts like hell just as you say but remember they were blessed to have someone to miss them and hurt so badly! another Morrissey quote would be "it's easy to laugh, it's easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind..." I myself would rather cry with God than laugh with satan. don't change my friend, the reward is doing what's right.
