In 2007, and early 2008, we put up polls for all 234 then released Morrissey and The Smiths-songs. More than 40,000 votes were cast and this resulted in The Morrissey/Smiths Top 100, or indeed, The Morrissey/The Smiths Top 234. In 2009/2010 we updated this chart with the 25 new songs that were released in 2008-2010. The final results of 2010, the 'Top 259', can be viewed here. Now, 4 years on, many people have asked me to continue with the polls as since the last one 25 new Morrissey-songs have been released.
So we'll start with the songs that were released in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and we'll end with the 18 songs from World Peace Is None of Your Business.
So here it goes. Let's hope for as big a turn-out as in 2007 and 2010 and, once again, vote with your heart, not with your mind.
Song 275: Smiler With Knife (Morrissey/Jesse Tobias)
See in me the side of you
that sometimes makes you jump with fright
smiler with knife it's your big night
Sinking bed all warm and clean
only sadness waits for me
smiler with knife, you're just in time
you're just in time
Press the blade against my skin
never to make love again
smiler with knife, it's alright
Surrendered will I am before you
I am sick to death of life
smiler with knife - alight
alight
If such things weren't meant to be
then they would never come to me
smiler, oh, don't worry so
Slam-in one-shot gentle pain
someone calling out my name
sex and love are not the same
are not the same
Time has frittered long and slow
all I am and was will go
but where to?
and why now?
When my last breath falls away
smiler trust me when I say
you'll be OK
you'll be OK.
