Nowhere Fast - The Smiths

I’d like to drop my trousers to the world

I am a man of means (of slender means)

Each household appliance

Is like a new science in my town

And if the day came when I felt a Natural emotion

I’d get such a shock I’d probably jump

In the ocean

And when a train goes by It’s such a sad sound

No …

It’s such a sad thing

I’d like to drop my trousers to the Queen

Every sensible child will know what this means

The poor and the needy

Are selfish and greedy on her terms

Natural emotion

I’d get such a shock I’d probably jump

In the ocean

And when a train goes by It’s such a sad sound

No …

It’s such a sad thing

And when I’m lying in my bed

I think about life

And I think about death

And neither one particularly appeals to me And if the day came when I felt a Natural emotion

I’d get such a shock I’d probably lie

In the middle of the street and die

I’d lie down and die …

Oh, oh
