I love Johnny Marr's haunting outro to this song. By Morrissey's mannerisms during the outro, it make him feel some type of way.

his expressions at the end are so filled with emotion when Marr plays that outro riff. Brilliant.

"She is too rough and i am too delicAte...:"

I'm still realising just how influential this man's words and voice were upon me when I was growing up. He makes this band. When you listen to morrissey you are drawn into his world. he is extraordinary.

I love when he bites his lip then grits his teeth at 01:21.. you can tell the lyrics mean a lot to him.

28 years later, and we're still enjoying this.

"I'm not the man you think I am"

The ending sounds so good because its like it doesnt belong to the song its so beautiful and haunting. Well played johnny

I love this song. 🥰

Andy oh Andy, u r so adorable, and so talented. Damn. #1 bass player!!!

What a fantastic performance

Morrissey = GENIUS!!!

Now finally I get what "sorrow's native son" means.

39 years later I conclude that their first LP is actually their best.

how cool is johnny marr? in his keith richards phase

3:00 just beautiful

Morrisey is like a God no wait he is God love his music with a passion !!!!!!!

God, listen to that Rickenbacker.

This song is lovely :)

she wants it now and she will not wait, but she's too rough and i'm too delicate.

The lyrics are equally comical, divine, mesmerizing, profound, ethereal, engaging, rapturous & striking. Not unusual considering who conjured it!

Pretty Girls Make Graves 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 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 But 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 (Ok) 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 Ohh, ohh, ohh (Hand in glove) The sun shines out of our behinds

I adore the Troy Tate version of this, which Marr remastered (or rather mastered fullstop) for 'Sound of ...' I hope so much he remasters the entire Tate album, not to mention the four studio albums and the compilations. Genius.

TURN IT UP!

I can't believe Morrissey exists

@Jowind Which is an adaptation of a line from the Richard Burton Film "Villain"

♡

Well it's true.

That guitar riff though

a reference from kerouac's dharma bum. If you don't know who kerouac is i suggest you start to re-assess your life.

Rickenbacherrrr Niiiice OooooOOOOoooooOOooo

there all the smiths to the fans and its the fans that matter really. what there doing or thinking now doesnt change what was.

I always laugh at "I lost my faith in womanhood" lmao

Can somebody tell me the type of songs that sound like the outro of this song?

Sorrows nature's son

Sounds like the makings of a great couple. XD

Is that you Blue?

You, Yah, could have been (The) One, You, Yah could have been (The) Three but, since nature did play it’s trick and did it’s magic on and you were (The) One, let Us create (The) Three, together 😽😸😻.

*I lost my faith in Morrissey* *I lost my faith*

I too lost my faith in womanhood

ive lost my faith in womanhood

Con esa pepa, y no poder corresponder la atracción sexual femenina: "La naturaleza me jugo esta trampa".

She was so proud to state that she turned straight men gay. I lost my faith in womanhood.

This song is about a gay man who is frustrated by a girl's constant advances.

The rhythm section always looks bored

Why does this sound awful? I mean Johnny
