"The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" is taken from The Smiths' third album The Queen Is Dead but was released as a single (albeit in a different mix) several months before, reaching no. 23 in the UK Singles Chart in autumn 1985. This was the first single by The Smiths to be accompanied by a promotional video, something the band had previously resisted. The Smiths also performed this song on an episode of the British television programme Top of the Pops.
Lyrics
The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don't believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever, they ever, believe me?
Oh
The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for love
How can they see the Love in our eyes
And still they don't believe us?
And after all this time
They don't want to believe us
And if they don't believe us now
Will they ever believe us?
And when you want to live
How do you start?
Where do you go?
Who do you need to know?
Oh
Oh no
Oh
La

The most addictive part of listening to The Smiths is the insane balance they have of making music that comes off as optimistic yet haunting at the same time. I love how the songs usually end with Marr playing out the melody. I’m notorious for just rewinding back to hear those last few seconds again and again

[@williamwalton583]

This melody is in my heart

[@farhanmadnoh236]

Kinda bittersweet

[@heatherossbrandy]

I agree re: Johnny's melodies are always so bright, but Morrissey's lyrics are usually depressing. Damn, I had LOVED this band when I had been a teenager! They were part of the group of bands I had been introduced to in high school that had changed my life. The kicker had been in 8th grade when I had seen the video for, Spellbound by Siouxsie and the Banshees. But, the first time I had heard the Cure's song Boys Don't Cry, while carpooling my freshman year, it had really grabbed me and wouldn't let me go! Then, How Soon is Now had happened. Then, Bela Legosi's Dead by Bauhaus. And, finally, the first Sister's of Mercy album. That was my band line-up in high school!

[@Knonnynonny]

Yeah .. me too. You just got to.

BoboDoboRobo Yh IKR I listen to the smiths most day in the week

[@chrisolagrim3597]

When all these so called lads were going out pulling. Stephen Morrissey was reading Keats, Yates, Wordsworth and Wilde to name but a few. I was the same. I'm an overweight balding postman but have had more than my fair share of fun with the ladies. Albert Einstein is one of my heroes not because he split the atom or came up with the theory of relativity. Because he had sex with Marilyn Monroe. Gave me faith 😅

[@JBinOtown]

There is something so powerful about getting into these songs when you are 15-17, as I did. That period where everything feels like higher than high, lower than low. Where you love so openly and blindly for the first time.

[@patsypatti990]

Right

[@xenodroid]

There is an incredibly melancholic beauty to this song. Being 21 myself and discovering the Smiths around the age of 17, I can definitely agree with this sentiment.

[@Britpop938]

I bought The Queen is dead back in 94. I was preparing for applying the university and barely had the money, but bought it anyway. I had to walk 2 districts: almost 40 blocks, to reach a friend and borrow my ticket back home, cause i lived outside the city. the whole time i was listening (it was a cassette) in a cheap yellow walkman, i was 17. Those songs were printed in my heart forever.

[@kallek919]

I guess you were too young (9 years?) and/or too broke not to already buy it when it was released in 1986?

My well warn yellow Walkman got a workout listening to cassettes and "underground" recorded tapes. Circa 1984-late 90s...old school! 🎶

Hatful of Hollow was one of the cassette albums playing in my white Walkman in summer 1985. I got a lot of use out of it for the rest of the decade,and still used it occasionally right up to at least 2000.

Says something that Smiths instrumentals are just as addictive to listen to in isolation, and you can read Morrissey's lyrics as prose in their own right with no musical accompaniment. Together they are unparalleled.

Os The Smiths podem curar qualquer transtorno mental, fui adolescente no final dos anos 80 e curti muito, hoje com recentes 50 anos completados tenho muito orgulho de ter vivido essa época, sou especialista em saúde mental e atuo em hospital psiquiátrico de referência aqui no Brasil!!!!!

I dare pronounce it a STILL UNDERRATED and underappreciated masterpiece, even now. After all this time.

[@ImrunJahan]

"The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" by The Smiths is a song about feeling misunderstood and frustrated with the world. The "thorn" symbolizes pain or emotional suffering that others don’t take seriously. It could be about Morrissey's struggles with critics, the music industry, or personal pain that no one seems to acknowledge. Here's a breakdown of each line in simple words: [Verse 1] "The boy with the thorn in his side" The "boy" (possibly Morrissey himself) feels constant emotional pain, symbolized by the "thorn." "Behind the hatred there lies a murderous desire for love" Even though people seem to hate him, deep down, they actually want love and connection. [Chorus] "How can they look into my eyes and still they don't believe me?" He’s frustrated that people don’t take his pain seriously, even when they see it in his eyes. "How can they hear me say those words and still they don't believe me?" No matter how much he expresses his feelings, people ignore or doubt his emotions. [Verse 2] "And if they don't believe me now, will they ever believe me?" If people refuse to understand him now, will they ever truly listen? "And if they don't believe me now, will they ever, will they ever believe me?" He repeats the question, emphasizing his doubt and frustration. [Bridge] "The boy with the thorn in his side" Again, he refers to himself or someone like him-always carrying emotional pain. "Behind the hatred there lies a plundering desire for love" Even those who act cruelly might just be looking for love in the wrong way. [Outro] The song fades out with repetitions of the same ideas, reinforcing his frustration and sadness. Overall Meaning This song is about feeling misunderstood, ignored, and emotionally hurt. The "thorn" represents deep pain, and "they" refers to people who refuse to believe or acknowledge his struggles. It could be about Morrissey's conflicts with critics, the music industry, or just the general feeling of not being accepted for who he is. The song carries sadness, frustration, and a longing to be understood.

[@raphaelsteiner2006]

Morrissey's vocals are hauntingly beautiful

[@christi4850]

This speaks a thousand words to me, during my times of need and hurt I polluted my head with hatred, when you come around no one wants to listen they still think things are the same, especially the ones you want the most, if I can tell you one thing, if you love someone don't stop regardless of what they've done in the past, it doesn't define them, you know who they are truly. I'll always love this one person who I know I can never have again and it hurts me everyday, but there's no one to blame but myself.

I'm a year younger than Morrissey. I remember vividly getting the Queen is Dead when I was in my mid 20s and playing it over and over. This song really spoke to me then. Sad thing is it still does. Guess I'll never figure life out.

[@antonio1581]

Tinha 14 anos, era uma madrugada de 1999, sem sono, pensando na vida e na morte: questões típicas da adolescência. Estava assistindo a MTV, sinal UHF, pegando super mal, eis que me surge um clipe (o outro) dessa música. Foi literalmente amor a primeira vista e desde então essa banda foi a trilha sonora da minha vida: escutei adolescente, chorando pelo primeiro amor, quando fui aprovado na faculdade, quando terminei com a minha primeira namorada, quando terminei com a segunda namorada, quando a gente voltou e quando, finalmente, casei-me com ela. The Smiths sem dúvida fez parte de todos os momentos mais importantes da minha vida. Eu não saberia lidar com uma volta dessa banda! Acho que pagaria o que fosse para vê-los tocar!

[@emanoeldamaziodasilva3192]

bacana a sua história . essa música é muito legal .escuto direto.

[@maria-ep6fp]

tenho 15 anos e to louca com essas questoes tipicas, e nao sei lidar, como vc fez pra lidar com elas???? adorei sua historia e espero que the smiths faça parte de m pro resto da vida tambem

[@antonio1581]

mar ia ótima pergunta! Só tenho um conselho: viva todas essas questões! sofra, chore, fique feliz, triste... Sinta todos os sentimentos possíveis. A dor, mais do que o amor, nos torna humanos. É um momento muito intenso, muito bom e ruim ao mesmo tempo de ser vivido. O problema que vejo que questões que parecem simples para adultos, para um adolescente se torna a via crucis. E isso deve ser considerado, pois cada um sabe o que sofre. Como eu lidei? Não lidei... simplesmente vivi e o tempo passou, a experiência surgiu e aprendi um pouco mais sobre essa louca coisa chamada vida. The Smiths me ajudou muito. Tem algumas músicas que são gatilhos para sentimentos vividos. Um grande abraço e seja feliz!

[@maria-ep6fp]

aaaaaa muito obrigada, de coraçao, seja feliz tambem 💜

[@NyxEmpyrean]

Muito obrigado também, tava na procura dessa resposta, essas questões ainda me assombram mesmo eu já estando terminando minha adolescencia e entrando na fase adulta! :)

THE SMITHS..... FOREVER!!!! MELHOR BANDA DE INDIE ROCK DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!!! MELHOR BANDA.... DE MÚSICA... DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!!!

[@TheAlexzola]

Ok ! Mas Indie Rock em 1982 ? Pode até ser , eu não consigo classifica-los em nenhuma "moldura de rock" eles era independentes a tudo e a todos.

[@viniciuswade8647]

Alexandre Zola Ai vc diz rock alternativo, e já ta certo

[@inorganicaiquimica1933]

Alexandre Zola creio que a melhor classificação seria dentro do pós punk , bandas que saíram da geração punk que tinham um ideal, mantinham acordes simples , mas que vinham com letras mais completas melodia , sentimentalismo, que retratavam a vida , amor , etc..

[@lauticureboca9277]

"Girlfriend in a Coma" fue la primera canción que escuché de los Smiths a los 12 años, pero este tema, a esa misma edad creo, me hizo un clic que el otro no logró. Les juro que fue fuerte. En ese momento, poco a poco, se convirtió en una de mis bandas favoritas de toda la historia. Desde Argentina, gracias Smiths por su música, y por ser una parte fundamental de mi vida.
