Nowhere Fast
The Smiths
[Verse 1]
I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means (of slender means)
Each household appliance is like a new science in my town

[Refrain 1]
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean

[Chorus]
And when a train goes by it's such a sad sound
It's such a sad thing

[Verse 2]
I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
The poor and the needy are selfish and greedy on her terms

[Refrain 1]
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
[Chorus]
And when a train goes by it's such a sad sound
It's such a sad thing

[Verse 3]
And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life and I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me

[Refrain 2]
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
Write the lyrics for a rock song made in 1985, titled "Nowhere Fast", by artist "The Smiths".
