Rickenbacherrrr Niiiice OooooOOOOoooooOOooo

I was there! July ‘86. What fantastic memories this brings back. I remember the crush as I was pushed up to the barrier right in front of Andy Rourke. I saw them again a couple of months later at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. Oh, to be a teenager again 😢

Five-hundred miles from the Mexican border The days getting shorter, the nights getting colder Hard by the highway he leans on her shoulder A little bit tired and a little bit older The days keep on running down through the seasons Running like prairie fire, wild with no reason The Devil's to pay for the moments he's seizing Still nothing is lost that's left to believe in He's got little to lose and his only companions Are the liquor that he loves, the rambling and the gambling The coyote answers from back in the canyon Hungry for more than plain understanding Sometimes it gets hard, sometimes it's amusing When kindness repaid is just an illusion When blind men know best what to make of confusion And dead men know nothing at all Still he dreams of a lady who'll lay down beside him He prays for the day when the sweet Lord will guide him To one who might drain all the poison inside him Let him hang up his boots with his traveling behind him But it's five-hundred miles from the Mexican border The days getting shorter, the nights getting colder As hard by the highway he leans on her shoulder A little bit tired, a little bit older

this song is beautiful

Simply so sad but true

Hace 24 años estuve ahí... Viva Chile mierda...🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

Simply phantastic!

Stellar lead from Johnny

"Makin' big and thinkin' plans." I swear that's not how it is on the studio album. Lol.

Sometimes a voice and an acoustic guitar is everything

Johnny Marr: gives us one of the most iconic guitar lines in history this guy: best I can do is power chords

Beautiful doesn't cover it.💔

He was a great man.

There is "country music" and then there is country fucking music.

Just jawing on coke the whole time

The only band that was so real....long live The Smiths 👍🏻

Great song , still enchanted by it 14 years later

Well, I used to wake and run with the moon I lived like a rake and a young man I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds My laughter the devil would frighten The sun she would come and beat me back down But every cruel day had it's nightfall I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars Full of fire and forgetful Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean And outrage my joyful companion Whisperin' women how sweet did they seem Kneelin' for me to command them And time was like water but I was the sea I wouldn't noticed it passin' Except for the turnin' of night into day And the turnin' of day into cursin' Well, you look at me now, don't think I don't know What all your eyes are a-sayin' Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies They're just tricks that his brains been a playin'? A lover of women he can't hardly stand He trembles, he's bent, he's broken I've fallen, it's true but I say to you Hold your tongues until after I've spoken I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known I laughed and said I'll be forgiven But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and said My friend, we're holdin' a wedding I buried my face but it spoke once again The night to the day we're a bindin' And now the dark air is like fire on my skin And even the moonlight is blinding Now the dark air is like fire on my skin And even the moonlight is blinding

nothing as real

I always thank Jennifer Warnes for making her wonderful album of Leonard’s songs “Famous Blue Raincoat”. She brought Leonard’s songs to generation x and opened the door for us all to walk through to Leonard himself. I saw him on his comeback tour in Stockholm, incredible.

Magical 🙏👏🇬🇧

Viscerally harrowing poem from a very special man. 📚🎤

Saw him a few times during these years Speedway, Interlude and so on, Vauxhall and I era which was powerful and he was so passionate and generous with us that watched him and his band, even a half full Ipswich Regent was so memorable for us as much as Cambridge corn exchange with the oversold mania. Thanks 🙏

Watched him plenty around the mid 1990s and he was incredible and I am so very grateful to him and the band. 🥁📚🎤☘️🙏🎸⚽️

Love, hate, passions just like mine, born, lived and then they died…. 🥁🎤beyond me and thank you so much for helping me with my youth. 💙

Final album from the finest band ever.

Does it get any better than this… 🎤🇬🇧☘️🎸🥁

Scenes of a lifetime right there. 🎤👏☘️📚🥁

Watchful eyes are too hard on the soul

we would all do the same as you if we only had the chance too

I read, that an interviewer asked him, why he wrote such sad songs? His response was, "they aren't sad - they're hopeless".

Ridiculous I would have been all over him . The audience just s say thanks .bollocks. ps I am old

Bastião obrigado

The Zionists are so happy to get Morrissey's seal of approval - I wonder how he feels now that 15,000 innocent Palestinian children have been killed by the IDF? He's lived a privileged life for 40 years and is no longer qualified to speak for the underdog, that's why he's got things so wrong. People need to stop making excuses for this man.

This song was on the last playlist my brother ever made for his Barefoot Blues Hour radio show on WERU in Maine. After a 36+ year career on the radio, Mike passed unexpectedly in July 2022. I’d never heard the song but loved Lyle Lovett. Mike also had a show called Boat Talk and was a boat builder and sailor. I listen to this song almost every day, smile and tear up. He had a boat named ‘magine. That your boat? ‘Magine.

new wave 80s

VIVA ESPAÑA 🇪🇸

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

*I'd hardly expect the skinheads who followed Madness to get the irony of this song at all. They probably regard it as a 'Rally Song'*

*Something tells me that this wasn't really a Morrissey crowd ... 'twas ever thus*

❤most AUNIST man i came across!!❤ LEONARD CHONE.

Perfect ragged Intro strum. Ol' Boy's got it. 🕶️👌✊

My fav artist. I took my son to see Lyle and Bonnie Raitt in NJ. Our first concert together. We will be dancing to this at his wedding. TY Lyle.

Memories of the Old Quarter, Houston, back in the day. We didn’t know what we had or how fast it would pass.

Can you imagine being in that room and hearing that song? It would be like a freight train coming through.
