Pretty Girls Make Graves (2011 Remaster) - The Smiths

Upon the sand upon the bay

There is a quick and easy way you say

Before you illustrate

I'd rather state :

I'm not the man you think I am

I'm not the man you think I am

And Sorrow's native son

He will not smile for anyone

And Pretty Girls Make Graves

Oh

End of the pier end of the bay

You tug my arm and say : Give in to lust

Give up to lust oh heaven knows we'll

Soon be dust

Oh I'm not the man you think I am

I'm not the man you think I am

And Sorrow's native son

He will not rise for anyone

And Pretty Girls Make Graves

Oh really

Oh

I could have been wild and I could have

Been free

But Nature played this trick on me

She wants it Now

And she will not wait

But she's too rough

And I'm too delicate

Then on the sand

Another man he takes her hand

A smile lights up her stupid face

(and well it would)

I lost my faith in Womanhood

I lost my faith in Womanhood

I lost my faith

Oh

Hand in glove

The sun shines out of our behinds
