The Smiths — Is It Really So Strange? Peel Session 12/17/86

[Verse 1] I left the North, I travelled South I found a tiny house and I can't help the way I feel Oh yes, you can kick me, and you can punch me And you can break my face But you won't change the way I feel 'Cause I love you [Chorus] And is it really so strange? Oh, is it really so strange? Oh, is it really so, really so strange? I say no, you say yes And you will change your mind [Verse 2] I left the South, I travelled North I got confused, I killed a horse, I can't help the way I feel Oh yes, you can punch me and you can butt me And you can break my spine But you won't change the way I feel 'Cause I love you [Chorus] And is it really so strange? Oh, is it really so strange? Oh, is it really so, really so strange? I say no, you say yes But you will change your mind [Verse 3] I left the North again, I travelled South again And I got confused, I killed a nun, I can't help the way I feel I can't help the way I feel I can't help the way I feel I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell [Verse 4] Why is the last mile the hardest mile? My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes And I realised, I realised, I could never I could never, never, never go back home again
