the guitar is very similar to the one in I Want The One I Can't Have from The Smiths, I think the Housemartins copied the vibe from it |

| The Smiths – Shakespeare's Sister Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
"....the title was an extremely clever lateral reference to Virginia Woolf's 1928 feminist thesis "A Room of One's Own", in wich she argues that if Shakespeare had had a sister who was every bit his creative equal, her sex would have denied her the privilege of his education. As a woman, presupposes Woolf, she would also never have been allowed to enter the theatre, but instead would have ended up abused, exploited and ridiculed for sharing her brother's ambition. To than end, said Woolf, Shakespeare's sister would have been driven to end her misery by committing suicide."

Initially the final line .."there is a light that never goes out" was going to be "there is a light in your eye and it never goes out", explaining that way the title, but at the end it was omitted from the finished record. |
