Bigmouth Strikes Again (Live in London, 1986) Lyrics by The Smiths

Complete

1988

[Verse]
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said
I'd like to smash every tooth in your head
Oh, oh, la-da-da-da-da-da
Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said
By rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed
[Bridge]
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt, oh
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt
Oh!
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Bigmouth la-da-da-dada, Bigmouth la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race (Oh, oh, oh-oh)
Bigmouth lo-da-da-haha, Bigmouth la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race
[Bridge]
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt, oh-ho-ho
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt
Eh!
[Chorus]
Oh, Bigmouth la-da-da-dada, Bigmouth la-da-do-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race (Oh, oh, oh, oh-ho-ho)
Bigmouth oh-ho-ho, ha ha, Bigmouth la-da-do-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race
[Bridge 2]
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt, oh
As the flames rose to her roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt
[Outro]
Oh, Bigmouth la-da-da-dada, Bigmouth la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
I've got no right to take my place
With the human race (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Bigmouth oh-ho-ho, ha ha, Bigmouth la-da-do-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-ho-ho, Bigmouth
Goodbye and thank you
Goodbye
