Produced by Gordon Raphael
Chart action: #14 UK
the players:
Julian Casablancas – vocals
Nikolai Fraiture – bass guitar
Albert Hammond, Jr. – guitar

Nice surprise this one is. Didn't realize it was that old. Don't have anything by the band but I do love this song.
From the groups debut album. It was the second single from the album and didn't even chart here, only showing up in
the UK. Once again the Brits get it right. The band has caught on here in the states since this album although I'm
not that familiar with their work. Maybe I should be.

Lyrics
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
Oh it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I walked out:
"Oh, baby, don't care no more
I know this for sure,
I'm walkin' out that door"
Well, I've been in town for just about fifteen minutes now
And Baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walkin' for miles
See, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your Grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, baby, gonna be alright"
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night, yeah
Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they won't understand
In spaceships, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
See, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turn 'round:
"Oh, little girl, I don't care no more.
I know this for sure,
I'm walking out that door," yeah

i have two strokes albums...very average from memory....best thing about them is the fact that one of their dad's is Albert Hammond

The song's OK. Not a huge Strokes fan.

#477 - Smiths - How Soon Is Now? - 1985
running recap for me - 3's=14, 2's=7, 1's=3
this one - **
from the album: Meat Is Murder
Written by Morrissey, Johnny Marr
Produced by John Porter
Chart action: #24 UK
the players:
Morrissey – vocals
Johnny Marr – guitars, piano
Andy Rourke – bass guitar
Mike Joyce – drums
Another nice surprise. See, there are some in here. Not a huge fan of this one though. The band yes, just not the
song. The Smiths never caught on here with the masses, like in the UK where they ruled. Poor chart showing for this
one even over there. Had to do with record company release stuff. This song was originally a b-side and not on an
album, then re-released in a shorter version which is the charting single. So there's two different versions out
there. I'll post the shorter.

Lyrics
I am the son
and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen now,
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
Looking Back At Some Classics - CRAZY-HORSE - 31-10-2012
yeh...the long version is monotonous IMO...7 minutes!!!!
great band though
this one gets ** from me also
Looking Back At Some Classics - TraceNspace - 31-10-2012
It's a great song but the most overplayed of anything The Smiths have done. I'm ready for it to disappear for a while so I can enjoy it again some day.
Looking Back At Some Classics - CRAZY-HORSE - 31-10-2012
i like this list MH is doing...some really unusual forgotten tracks on it, i may not like a couple of them, but at least it doesnt contain the same old songs most other lists do!!!!
Looking Back At Some Classics - TraceNspace - 31-10-2012
I agree CH.
Looking Back At Some Classics - Music Head - 31-10-2012
the best part is not knowing what will come up each morning
same way I listen to my albums
it's like 2 x-mas presents every day
