you've got everything now

Singer:smiths, the

as merry as the days were long

i was right and you were wrong

back at the old grey school

i would win and you would lose

but you've got everything now

you've got everything now

and what a terrible mess i've made of my life

oh what a mess i've made of my life

no

i've never had a job

because i've never wanted one

i've seen you smile

but i've never really heard you laugh

so who is rich and who is poor?

i cannot say. you are your mother's only son

and you're a desperate one

but i don't want a lover

i just want to be seen

in the back of your car

a friendship sadly lost?

well

this is true

and yet

it's false

but did i ever tell you

by the way

i never did like your face

but you've got everything now

you've got everything now

and what a terrible mess i've made of my life

oh what a mess i've made of my life

no

i've never had a job

because i'm too shy

i've seen you smile

but i've never really heard you laugh

so who is rich and who is poor?

i cannot say. you are your mother's only son

and you're a desperate one

but i don't want a lover

i just want to be tied

to the back of your car

to the back of your car

to the back of your car

to the back of your car
