Listening face down
Hello,
I've made a compilation for a friend who likes The Smiths and kind of lost interest post Viva Hate. I decided that mixing up 1988-2007 stuff with post 2004 stuff doesn't work. So, here is my tracklist for "the comeback years" - post 2004. Obvious omissions are First of the Gang to Die and Irish Blood, English Heart - but I've heard them too many times and think that certain album tracks and B-Sides (even cover versions) are better. I'd be interested in what people think of this as a playlist... I think I favour songs where the music is actually half decent. That's How People Grow Up is the exception. I think the music is turgid and grim but the lyrics hit a nerve.
Dear God, Please Help Me
Something Is Squeezing My Skull
To Me You Are a Work of Art
Let Me Kiss You
You Have Killed Me
A Song from Under the Floorboards
My Dearest Love
All the Lazy Dykes
Shame is the Name
Friday Mourning
I Will See You in Far Off Places
I Have Forgiven Jesus
Human Being
Teenage Dad on His Estate
Life is a Pigsty
Good Looking Man About Town
That's How People Grow Up
Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed
The Never-Played Symphonies
Drive In Saturday (live)

I meant 1988-1997
