SONGS I LISTEN TO OVER AND OVER #24

“Please Please Please Let me Get What I Want” by The Smiths.

“I haven’t had a dream in a long time, see the life I had can make a good time go bad.
So for once in my life, let me get what I want. Lord knows it would be the first time.”

Jesus this is a sad song. I thought I was sad when I lose the little cord thingie that hooks my ipod up to my car stereo, but this guy has been through some serious bad times. What’s worse is the song runs 1:53, so he was so sad that he didn’t have the energy to write another verse. I listen to this and imagine some dood in torn jeans sitting on a milk crate watching a busted up black and white TV wishing he did everything in his life differently.

Fun Fact: The Dream Academy did an instrumental version of this song which was used Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when Cameron started at the Seurat painting in the art museum. Yeah, it just got a bit sadder, didn’t it?

I’m still sad about that cord thingie.
