The Smiths - You've Got Everything Now (Official Audio) 

RIP Andy Rourke. A very under appreciated member of one of the most iconic bands of the 80s. The band wouldn’t be the same without him.

The smiths is timeless

Their debut album is their best. Change my mind.

That bass

This be some emo stuff way before emo was a thing.....legends man....

É realmente inesquecível esta banda! 😍😍😍 Abraços de São Paulo/Brasil ❤❤❤

Awesome tune

R.I.P., Andy Rourke.

haha so that’s where bernard butler found inspiration for Animal Lover! :)

Anybody else prefer the hatful of hollow version?

But I don't want a lover I just want to be seen. That hits hard.

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...oh You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one Oh... But I don't want a lover I just want to be seen...oh...in the back of your car A friendship sadly lost? Well this is true...and yet, it's false Oh... 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...oh Oh... You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one Oh... But I don't want a lover I just want to be tied... oh...to the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car Oh...

This song was all me in my late teens/early 20s. I couldn't hold a job due to severe social anxiety. Not sure how I overcame it but this song gave me comfort

I used to be a prodigy child. Excellent grades, parents and teachers proud of me, other kids hating me because of my privileges, you know But social anxiety came along and ruined my life. I droped out of college two years ago, ruined my friendship with wonderful people and can't get a job After years of being a young promise I'm here being perfectly useless. Seeing my old classmates being happy and having a life better than mine is hard. But at least I'm here, I guess

"No I've never had a job because I'm too shy" is one of the funniest lines in the history of music.

This is such a weird song because when I listen to it in a good mood it makes me feel even better but when I listen to it while I'm down it feels like Morrissey perfectly understands what Im going through and that makes me cry even more

Sending love and positive vibes out to those who deal with debilitating anxiety at times. The Smiths' music is my comfort.

Having been a bass player for nearly 40 years, much of it as a full time pro, I think Andy Rourke is one of the greats.

I personally LOVE IT when Morrissey sings in that falsetto voice toward the end of this song where he exclaims "I just want to be tied ... TO THE BACK OF YOUR CAR". What a terrific vocal range he had then.

here for that drop NO I NEVER HAD A JOB

This song hits harder when you are 22 and you realized adulthood wasn't as easy as movies made it look

THIS SONG IS SO REAL “what a mess i’ve made of my life” “i don’t want a lover i just want to be seen… in the back of your car” “i’m too shy” “i just want to be tied to the back of your car” these lyrics relates to me so much morrisseys lyric are so real, in every single song i can find atleast a lyric or unexplained feeling, his voice is so beautiful not to mention and the instrumentals are so beautiful

What a terrible mess I've made of my life :(

"And what a terrible mess I've made of my life Oh, what a mess I've made of my life" We can all attest to that..

sounds good promising band

No, I've never had a job Because I've never wanted one

Its well documented that Morrissey was quite a good athlete back at the grey old school days ( I’d win and you would lose )

"I never had a job Because I've never wanted one" Based

Never gets a mention definitely one of their best songs, Johnny's guitar on this is amazing. Saw them 1983, Hacienda, Manchester.

I relate to this song so much. There was this person who I knew since childhood and we used to be good friends, i’d always win in the games and stuff we used to do together. However I stopped seeing him when I was 14 due to personal reasons. And I ran into him 2 years later, I don’t know why but he didn’t say anything to me, he saw me clearly and pretended as if he didn’t recognize me. And what hurt even more was that he had a group of friends, was in a relationship, and was ready to move out of town. While i’m here miserable, isolated, and alone.

"I've seen you smile but I've never really heard you laugh" -- there's a similar line in The Three Musketeers, during a passage about how Athos never seems interested in women.

I cant explain it, but this song makes me feel a deep pit in my stomach. Like a friend just died or something, but it also makes me want to cry out every drop of tears.

This song represent so much to me. There was people in my past (high school) that betrayed me, hurt me and made me cry, and I promised that they will be sorry and beg for my forgiveness. And now my life is a mess, and they got good jobs, plenty of friends, a very happier life than mine.

Ain't this the most relatable song ever?

Andy Rourke. What a bassline.

This is by far one of the best songs of the smiths.

Andy Rourke sounds great on this tune with his bass playing!

"No, I've never had had a job, because I'm too shy!"

This is a humorous song where the petty bully/popular kid would win in school and the other kid was deemed a loser. So if you relate to this song and were an outcast in school, you're misinterpreting it. Morrissey is playing the role of the popular "winner" who is now losing in life as an adult. We know the story, we've seen it a thousand times before. The jock gets a miserable job and life and the nerd "loser" goes on to become a Bill Gates type or rock star. But in this song the "winner" that Morrissey is playing is childishly trying to justify why he's now a loser "but I've never seen you smile, so who is rich and who is poor, I can not say". LMAO. This is humor guys. You're not supposed to relate to this one. You're supposed to laugh at it like a play happening on a stage with both drama and comedy. Don't assume that just because Morrissey is singing, that he is singing from his own perspective in high school. He plays roles in many of his songs as different types of characters/narrators. Although this is just a generic story about any popular winner vs nerdy loser in high school, one might even say that Morrissey is the one who "has it all now" in real life and this is a jab at his high school bullies in the same way Brandon Flowers of The Killers took a jab at his high school bully with the song Andy You're a Star. And the narrator doesn't have to be a popular person, could be a fellow nerd/loser, but it's someone who was a bully/mean and is now jealous. Instead of befriending the other person in school, they passed up on the opportunity to mock them "A friendship sadly lost, well this is true and yet its false." Yes, it was lost, because it also never existed and never took place because they chose to be a bully. Some of that old bully mentality is still bubbling up "I never really liked your face." Now the tables have turned and this person is so desperate to cling to the other person "I just want to be seen in the back of your car."

The cure, the smiths , depeshmode and a few others... if I didn't have them I would had never made it in my teens-tweety's and even now! I love you guys and thanks for your inspiration and a lesson in the life of a manic depression !

I NEVER HAD A JOB BECAUSE I NEVER WANTED ONE!! 🕺💃🕺💃🕺

Both me and my boyfriend bond over The Smiths. Something about this song in particularly. I dunno- the way Morrissey sings. Our story is really complex. We both have really bad anxiety So something about this song just makes us feel like we're safe. I know the lyrics aren't really about love and such, but that's just me.

The first exposure I had to The Smiths was Louder Than Bombs. Been in love ever since.

I'm autistic and relate to this song a lot.

Best words Best music

All 2 "no I've never had a job"-s in this song: 0:54 2:37

Morrissey: but I don’t want your love, I just want to be tiiiieeeedddd… Me, completely breaking down: TO THE BACK OF YOUR CARRRRRRRRRR😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

All of our adolescent years are in these lyrics

wow this song is so great , would b a shame if this band would end up suing eachother like 3 yrs after

Love the guitar in this song and the bass line also.

The bass is so clean Never noticed it before

As merry as the days were long, I was right and you were wrong such a simple yet vivid way of explaining the dynamic of the characters within the story/song.

Radiohead and the Smiths. Making sadness into art.

Melhor banda do mundo

"Oh who is rich and who is pour i cannot say......youre your mothers only son", such a punk song with surf guitar sound

Beautiful song. My first experience of The Smiths and alternative music. 1st heard on 88.5 FM GSU Atlanta in late 80’s and never turned back.

classic Moz lyrics that just never date... (imho) 🖤

Im here because Im just a miserable bastard really

This sounds like the theme song for the original Beatles drummer Pete Best.

The most powerful use of the passive voice in lyrical history.

It's ok. Smiths break my heart too Fucking Morrissey fucked it all up for a whole bunch of us. I should have stuck with Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page

I am my mothers only daughter, and I’m a desperate one.

That is a tight rhythm section

I'm more astounded than ever how good The Smiths are, over thirty-three years since first hearing them.

SIMPLESMENTE A MELHOR BANDA ATÉ HJ MORRISEY CONTINUA O LEGADO!!!
