A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours Lyrics by The Smiths

Complete

1987

[Intro]
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
But I missed my bed
So I soon came home
[Verse]
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
Just surprised to still be on my own..."
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
[Chorus]
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 and I
They take what they want from life
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, but don't mention love
Nom, just don't mention love!
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Urrgh, I think I'm in lerv
