“What She Said” is told from a female perspective – it’s rare for male songwriters to write about women with empathy rather than desire – and how it taps into a certain kind of teenage girl’s fantasies.
Accompanying is a tune where Morrissey beats a path to your head, but it’s Johnny Marr’s melodie...
What She Said Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What she said
"How come someone hasn't noticed that I'm dead
And decided to bury me? God knows, I'm ready!"
[Verse 2]
What she said was sad
But then, all the rejection she's had
To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy
[Chorus 1]
What she said
Was not for the job or lover that she never had
[Verse 3]
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesise
(It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead)
(To really really open her eyes)
What she read
All heady books she'd sit and prophesise
(It took a tattooed boy from Birkenhead)
(To really really open her eyes)
[Chorus 2]
What she said
"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something!"
What she said
"I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death
And I need to cling to something!"
