A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours - 2011 Remaster Songtext
von The Smiths

Oh hello, I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some 18 months ago
I traveled 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
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
I think I'm in love, oh
