Panic on the streets of London

Hopefully not. I’m writing this post in advance and have scheduled to have it published whilst I’m away in London. And (hopefully) visting Rough Trade soon.

One of my favourite songs from The Smiths – a fantastic but short-lived English band [Panic – The Smiths] . This was recorded and released in 1986.
Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself Could life ever
be sane again ? The Leeds side-streets that
you slip down I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmere But
Honey Pie, you’re not safe here So you run
down To the safety of the town
But there’s Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside I wonder
to myself Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ Because the
music that they constantly play IT SAYS
NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE Hang the blessed
DJ Because the music they constantly play
On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
Provincial towns you jog ’round
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ HANG THE
DJ, HANG THE DJ Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ,
Hang the DJ HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ HANG THE
DJ, HANG THE DJ Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ,
Hang the DJ HANG THE DJ

Have fun!
