A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours Lyrics - Strangeways, Here We Come - The Smiths

Oh hello, I am the ghost of Troubled Joe 

Hung by his pretty white neck 

Some eighteen months ago 

I traveled to a mystical time zone 

And I missed my bed 

And I soon came home 

They said, "There's too much caffeine 

In your bloodstream 

And a lack of real spice in your life" 

I said, "Leave me alone 

Because I'm alright, Dad 

Surprised to still be on my own" 

Oh, but don't mention love 

I'd hate the strain of the pain again 

A rush and a push and the land 

That we stand on is ours 

It has been before so it shall be again 

And people who are uglier than you and I 

They take what they need, and just leave 

Oh, but don't mention love 

I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again 

A rush and a push and the land 

That we stand on is ours 

It has been before so why can't it be now ? 

And people who are weaker than you or I 

They take what they want from life 

Oh, but don't mention love 

No, no, don't mention love 

A rush and a push and the land 

That we stand on is ours 

Your youth may be gone 

But you're still a young man 

So phone me, phone me 

So phone me, phone me, phone me 

Oh, I think I'm in love, oh, I think I'm in love 

Oh, I think I'm in love, think I'm in love 

I think I'm in love, oh
