Lyrics

Good time for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

I listened to this song a lot when I was broke, unemployed, and waiting for yet another job interview.
I never want to forget the pain of that season, it taught me so much.

[darryk]

Whatever you're going through, there's always a Smiths song for it.

[Theyadorealyssa]

That “please please please” hits hard every time

[cartooncrazy]

My dad, a lifelong Smiths fan, was told on Tuesday that he is cancer free after being given a pretty dire prognosis. To say I am grateful that something has gone right is an understatement.

[jimmyfarley]

The length of the song is a metaphor. So much emotion and feeling in such a short time. Like life itself.

[MicksA]

This song hits in ways unexplainable. I was stuck in a business that was torturing me. I was hemorrhaging money and working over 75 hours a week like a madman. I’d play this song in the last 6 weeks really getting in on the words.

Then, it happened, I got out and my life has been so rewarding since.

The genius of Morrisey and Marr is that they can incapsulate so much human pain regret and sorrow in just 1 min and 51 secs.

[alvaromartinez]

I hope that everyone here find what they are looking for

[bencemaraczi]

I broke up with my gf last year, almost a year ago. She loved The Smiths. I have many other problems such as severe anxiety, but I think all this happens for a reason. Anyway, I hope you guys will finally find what you're looking for, and find happiness. Keep strong guys ❤

[Stif]

"How are you?"
"The Smiths."

[cdubb]

This song just needs to be 10 minutes long so I don't have to keep replaying it..

[rebeccanascimento]

This song comes to my head every time I’m praying to God asking for something that seems so important.

[BUTTERTOAST]

everyone here has an excellent taste on music

[amitchell]

i love that i still feel this song with the same hopeless desperation and longing as i did when i was 12, shut in my bedroom, listening to the smiths on repeat. the sentiment is timeless and the feels are so relevant.

[gizemnagis]

Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

WHAT IN THE HELL!!!! This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard!

[ozigiri]

So please please sing this lovely song and let me get what i want:

[Verse 1]
Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had can make a good man turn bad
So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want this time

[Verse 2]
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had can make a good man bad
So for once in my life let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

Fifteen year old me quietly crying in my childhood bedroom listening to this after a breakup…44 year old me listening nostalgically in my own home, with my 3 sleeping sons and wonderful, snoring husband 💕

[newmac]

I Never get tired of this song, its soooo good!

[RdK]

After 3 years of suffering of anxiety and mild depression I found this song and cried really fucking bad, because I couldn't believe I would identify so much with a song. A few months after, an angel, a lovely girl appeared in my life and filled me with so much love and affection. After all, thanks god, for just giving me what I wanted.
Dont worry people, everything comes at one point, we just have have to handle the suffering the best we can, until that something arrives.
