What She Said by The Smiths Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1985

[Verse 1]
What she said
"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead
And decided to bury me? God knows, I'm ready!"

[Verse 2]
What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy

[Chorus 1]
What she said
Was not for the job or lover that she never had

[Verse 3]
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesise
(It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really really open her eyes)

What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesise
(It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead
To really really open her eyes)
[Chorus 2]
What she said
"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something!"
What she said
"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something!"
