Frankly, Mr. Shankly - The Smiths

[00:02.59]Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held
[00:06.52]It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
[00:10.67]I want to leave, you will not miss me
[00:14.74]I want to go down in musical history
[00:21.84]Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck
[00:25.56]I've got the 21st century breathing down my neck21
[00:29.82]I must move fast, you understand me
[00:34.14]I want to go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly
[00:58.22]Fame, Fame, fatal Fame
[01:01.68]It can play hideous tricks on the brain
[01:06.01]But still I'd rather be Famous
[01:08.65]Than righteous or holy, any day
[01:11.68]Any day, any day
[01:17.30]But sometimes I'd feel more fulfilled
[01:21.17]Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
[01:24.90]I want to live and I want to Love
[01:29.29]I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of
[01:36.65]Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held
[01:40.98]It pays my way and it corrodes my soul
[01:45.07]Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry
[01:49.40]I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly
[01:56.35]Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you ask
[01:59.87]You are a flatulent pain in the arse
[02:04.02]I do not mean to be so rude
[02:08.48]Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly
[02:12.71]Oh, give us your money !
