the smiths - cemetry gates lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
a dreaded sunny day
so i meet you at the cemetry gates
keats and yeats are on your side
a dreaded sunny day
so i meet you at the cemetry gates
keats and yeats are on your side
while wilde is on mine

[verse 1]
so we go inside and we gravely read the stones
all those people, all those lives
where are they now?
with loves and hates
and p-ssions just like mine
they were born
and then they lived
and then they died
seems so unfair
i want to cry

[refrain 1]
you say: “‘ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn”
and you claim these words as your own
but i’ve read well and i’ve heard them said
a hundred times
(maybe less, maybe more)

[verse 2]
if you must write prose and poems
the words you use should be your own
don’t plagiarise or take “on loan”
’cause there’s always someone, somewhere
with a big nose, who knows
and who trips you up and laughs
when you fall
who’ll trip you up and laugh
when you fall

[refrain 2]
you say: “‘ere long done do does did”
words which could only be your own
and then produce the text
from whence was ripped
(some dizzy wh0r-, 1804)

[chorus]
a dreaded sunny day
so let’s go where we’re happy
and i meet you at the cemetry gates
oh, keats and yeats are on your side
a dreaded sunny day
so let’s go where we’re wanted
and i meet you at the cemetry gates
keats and yeats are on your side
but you lose
’cause weird lover wilde is on mine

sugar!
