if you don't like me etc.

"...there must be somebody else who can take your game aways.."

what a hard hard line to "understand"
any comments on the lyrics of this song?
or maybe my english isn't that good enough to understand it


this is so good:
"if you don't want me, you don't have to have me
i just thought you might feel the same, that's all"

it's bloody time he plays this live once

 

[dazzak]

I think it's "gaze aways". Like saying there must be somebody else who is more worthy of the person Morrissey is talking to's attention.

 

[Mada]

"games always" was my first listen

 

[mspendl828]

I heard it, and still do as "...there must be somebody else who can take your game and ways.."

But I could well be totally wrong.

 

[dazzak]

After listening to it a dozen or so times, I'm 99% sure it's "Gaze aways".

 

[Damiel]

It's "There must be somebody else who can take your gaze a ways."

Instead of merely taking it "away" from Morrissey; Moz wants somebody to take it a ways -- a long distance away. That choice of words, in my opinion, makes the narrator/Moz less passive about the person who "may not like" him. He does not merely suggest that someone else can interest the person; but that he/she should take that gaze of theirs a long distance away from him.

-D.

You are.

 

[Pervomartovtsi]

there must be somebody else who can take your gaze away...100%

 

[sid james]

I thought it was "take your gays away?"

 

[DeadQueen]

I thought it was "take your gays away?"

Of course! Mystery solved

It didn't didn't warrant starting a new thread, but I just wanted to share that the b-side in question got a rather glowing track review on Pitchfork.

[alainsane]

is it me or does morrissey pluralize away for the sake of rhyming?
"take your gaze aways"?
