The Smiths ----- Shakespeare's Sister



On Mar 18, 1985, The Smiths released the single "Shakespeare's Sister".

Although “Shakespeare’s Sister” barely exceeded two minutes, it received airplay on John Peel’s Radio 1 show and found space in The Smiths’ live sets for the next couple of years. Yet its chart life was short, and it never brought the band a “Top of the Pops” invitation. Marr remarked that he wasn’t shocked by its moderate chart showing, saying, “It was a very arch record to release at that time. Quite audacious, a bit mad. That’s why I loved it.” Joyce later admitted The Smiths didn’t always pick obvious commercial material for singles, referencing how “How Soon Is Now?” was initially stashed away as a B-side. “The fact people said we were wrong only fired us up,” he remembered, underscoring the band’s determination to stand by their decisions, even if they confounded the mainstream.

Young bones groan and the rocks below say
"Throw your skinny body down, son"
But I'm going to meet the one I love
So, please don't stand in my way
Because I'm going to meet the one I love
No, Mamma, let me go

Young bones groan and the rocks below say
"Throw your white body down"
But I'm going to meet the one I love
At last, at last, at last
I'm going to meet the one I love, la-de-da, la-de-da
No, Mamma, let me go

I thought that if you had an acoustic guitar
Then it meant that you were a protest singer
Oh, I can smile about it now but at the time, it was terrible
No, Mamma, let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
