The Smiths - A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours (Official Audio)

Official Audio for A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours by The Smiths

Lyrics

Oh hello
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
And I missed my bed
And I soon came home
They said :
"There's too much caffeine
In your bloodstream
And a lack of real spice
In your life"
I said :
"Leave me alone
Because I'm alright, dad
Surprised to still
Be on my own..."
Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So it shall be again
And people who are uglier than you and I
They take what they need, and just leave
Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So why can't it be now?
And people who are weaker than you or I
They take what they want from life
Oh, but don't mention love
No - no, don't mention love!
A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
Your youth may be gone
But you're still a young man
So phone me, phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me
Oh, I think I'm in love
Oh, I think I'm in love
Oh, I think I'm in love (think I'm in love)
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv
Oh...

[mirkovercelli]

one of the most underrated smiths song

[panathrasher]

This is the first song I ever heard from The Smiths. I listened to it repeatedly on my walkman as a young teenager and fell in love with their music. It still stirs the same emotions nearly 30 years later.

[oldpaleridge]

One of the greatest album openers to any album ever.

[ChristJesusLordofjohnwithers]

I used to play this song/ album on my walkman cassette player as I cut grass around my neighborhood when I was 12. I'm now 48 and still love the Smiths.

[chicanapunkLA]

Morrisey has the best growl I've ever heard from a singer

[jminbin]

The lyrics are so whimsical. I really enjoy listening on all of your music. Whenever I'm sad, you're always there to sing my feels. Thank you The Smiths.

[jaybones]

A rush and a push and the land that
We stand on is ours
It has been before
So it shall be again

[Imthebestperiot]

This song is so underrated its actually CRAZY😭

[mrqs]

The whole album has this feeling of “good bye”. Was a sad moment for me when they broke up the band.

[claytonorchard]

This song is the intro to an outstanding album

[taylorconnor]

This song is like an antidepressant that actually works. God bless the smiths

[rmendel]

They had all grown so much be the time they made this album. Imagine what else they could have come up with if they hadn't grown sick of each other. This was a great album.

[personarandom]

One of my favorite song from The Smiths, what a great band

[antonioeisadora]

One of the best opening tracks ever...

[julianbell]

Love the guitar in this one, Marr truly is a genius

[kurainaru]

I discovered the smiths a couple a months ago and now im wondering where i have been my entire life

[adrianvillegas]

I am going through a lot you guys help me so much

[dessieodonovan]

The 80’s. Best music ever. We made skinny jeans, Vans, BMX, skateboarding and The Smiths

[melvinnance]

I was doing some postgrad work when this album came out and I bought it and felt as though I was the only person here in US who even knew it existed, which kind of made me feel like I was getting away with something (but in a truly good way).

[keithmiller]

Life is falling down
Getting back up is living
Hope you get where you need to be
