Still Ill (John Peel Session 9/14/83) Lyrics


I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
England is mine, it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreamsDoes the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunnoUnder the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days, am I still ill?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Am I still ill?
Oh-oh-oh-ohDoes the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I dunnoAsk me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die
And if you must, go to work, tomorrow

Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them, but not very oftenUnder the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days, am I still ill?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Am I still ill?
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Hugely influential, The Smiths lasted all of five years from 1982 to 1987, releasing during this period four studio albums (The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead and Strangeways, Here We Come) and three compilation albums (Hatful of Hollow, The World Won't Listen and Louder Than Bombs).
