Johnny Marr - The Headmaster Ritual (The Smiths) 2018 LIVE

Johnny Marr singing The Smiths on September 21, 2018 at KEXP in Seattle, WA, USA.
LYRICS (may differ)
Belligerent ghouls
run Manchester schools
spineless swines
cemented minds
Sir leads the troops
jealous of youth
same old suit since 1962
he does the military two-step
down the nape of my neck
I wanna go home
I don't want to stay
give up education
as a bad mistake
mid-week on the playing fields
Sir thwacks you on the knees
knees you in the groin
elbow in the face
bruises bigger than dinner plates
I wanna go home
I don't wanna stay
Belligerent ghouls
run Manchester schools
spineless bastards all
Sir leads the troops
jealous of youth
same old jokes since 1902
he does the military two-step
down the nape of my neck
I wanna go home
I don't want to stay
give up life
as a bad mistake
please excuse me from gym
I've got this terrible cold coming on
he grabs and devours
he kicks me in the showers
kicks me in the showers
and he grabs and devours
I want to go home
I don't want to stay

"'The Headmaster Ritual' was a favourite of mine for a long time just because I'm really pleased with the guitars on it and the strange tuning... For my part, 'The Headmaster Ritual' came together over the longest period of time I've ever spent on a song. I first played the riff to Morrissey when we were working on the demos for our first album with Troy Tate. I nailed the rest of it when we moved to Earls Court. That was around the time when we were being fabulous." - Johnny Marr, Record Collector, November/December 1992

So strange, like a paradox, to hear Johnny sing this, but I love it. I wanna hear Morrissey and Marr duet it. Now THAT would be very.. very strange. "Is it really so strange?"

[@ThisBoyRacer]

LOL!!! That'd be super strange indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
