Stretch Out and Wait Lyrics

Lyric discussion by jobriath 

Cover art for Stretch Out and Wait lyrics by Smiths, The

i like this version more than version 2. though it's slightly wrong. it should be:

all the lies that you made up what's at the back of your mind? oh your face i can see and it's desperately kind but what's at the back of your mind?

the opening verse to version 2 is different:

on the high rise estate what's at the back of your mind? oh the three day debate on a high rise estate what's at the back of your mind?

the lyrics submitted are a combination of both versions.

i love the phrase "desperately kind". i know what it's like to be desperately kind, hoping they'll open up and give us a chance. let me in to your life. let me invade your space.

:sigh:
