The Smiths ----- Sheila Take A Bow



On 13 April 1983, the Smiths released their non studio album single "Sheila Take A Bow".  It tied "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" as the band's highest charting UK single, reaching number ten on the charts. It has since seen positive critical reception for Morrissey's uplifting lyricism and Marr's guitar work. The song was included on the compilation album Louder Than Bombs, also released in 1987.

Rolling Stone rated the song as the band's 33rd best, writing, "Some fans were horrified at the totally unironic warmth of this single, but Moz sincerely roots for Sheilas everywhere to rise up and boot the world in the crotch." Consequence also ranked the song as the 33rd best Smiths song, writing, "The track's Bowie-esque feel evidently struck a chord with the public, as it went on to become the highest-charting single of the band's lifetime. Sheila take a bow, indeed."

Is it wrong to want to live on your own?
No, it's not wrong – but I must know
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you (oh)
Oh

Is it wrong not to always be glad?
No, it's not wrong – but I must add
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you (oh)

Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la
You're a girl and I'm a boy
La
Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la
I'm a girl and you're a boy
La

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
La
Throw your homework onto the fire
Come out and find the one that you love
Come out and find the one you love
