Rubber Ring Lyrics - The World Won't Listen - The Smiths

A sad fact widely known 

The most impassionate song 

To a lonely soul 

Is so easily outgrown 

But don't forget the songs 

That made you smile 

And the songs that made you cry 

When you lay in awe 

On the bedroom floor 

And said 

"Oh, oh, smother me Mother" 

No, rubber ring, rubber ring 

Rubber ring, rubber ring 

Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring 

No, rubber ring 

Rubber ring, rubber ring 

The passing of time 

And all of its crimes 

Is making me sad again 

The passing of time 

And all of its sickening crimes 

Is making me sad again 

But don't forget the songs 

That made you cry 

And the songs that saved your life 

Yes, you're older now 

And you're a clever swine 

But they were the only ones 

Who ever stood by you 

The passing of time 

Leaves empty lives 

Waiting to be filled 

The passing of time 

Leaves empty lives 

Waiting to be filled 

I'm here with the cause 

I'm holding the torch 

In the corner of your room 

Can you hear me ? 

And when you're dancing and laughing 

And finally living 

Hear my voice in your head 

And think of me kindly 

No, rubber ring, rubber ring 

Rubber ring, rubber ring 

Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring 

No, rubber ring 

Rubber ring, rubber ring 

Do you love me like you used to ? 

Rubber ring, rubber ring 

Rubber ring, rubber ring 

You're clever 

Everybody's clever nowadays 

You're clever 

Everybody's clever nowadays 

You are sleeping 

You do not want to believe 

You are sleeping 

You do not want to believe 

You are sleeping 

You do not want to believe 

You are sleeping
