Smiths, The Bbc Sessions You've Got Everything Now (bbc)



As merry as the days were long
"i am right and you are wrong"

Back at the old grey school
I would win and you would lose


But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess i've made of my life
Oh, what a mess i've made of my life


No, i've never had a job
Because i've never wanted one


I've seen you smile
But i've never heard you laugh


So who is rich and who is poor ?
I cannot say ... oh


Oh, you are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
Oh ...


But i don't want a lover
I just want to be seen ... oh ... in the back of your car


A friendship sadly lost ?
Well this is true ... and yet, it's false
Oh ...


But did i ever tell you, by the way ?
I never did like your face
Oh ...


But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess i've made of my life
Oh, what a mess i've made of my life


No, i've never had a job
Because i'm too shy


I've seen you smile
But i've never really heard you laugh


So who is rich and who is poor ?
I cannot say ... oh


Oh ...
You are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
Oh ...


But i don't want a lover
I just want to be tied ... oh ... to the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
To the back of your car
The back of your car
The back of your car
Oh ... the back of your car
