Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture kyle Average	#1 by kyle sharpshooter at Sep 18, 1975 at 1:42 AM EST
	this song is great and fun!

No Picture Joe Average	#2 by Joe Fitzpatrick at Mar 18, 1979 at 1:00 AM EST
	Three fun songs on one smiths album? (Some Girls doesn't count because the music is too gorgeous.) Give that man a miserable pill!

No Picture Green Day rocks Average	#3 by Green Day rocks!!!! at Mar 27, 1979 at 6:33 AM EST
	Of course, Joan of Arc was chosen by God (I know that from watching the Simpsons). So when he says he has no right to take his place in the human race, he's saying that because he thinks he's above it. That's right, right? Dammit, ambiguity in a song penned by Moz!

No Picture Failure by Desi Average	#4 by Failure by Design at Oct 31, 1982 at 9:10 PM EST
	From what I understand, the Cure had a hit that kept the Smiths from hitting #1 in the British charts. This song was a total rant to Robert Smith by Moz and Marr.

No Picture Sam Average	#5 by Sam at Aug 12, 1983 at 6:54 AM EST
	Haha, this song sounds to me like a self-criticism...Morrisey talks too much! Also, I've always seen the subject of Morrisey's sexuality debated, and he never quite gave clear answers in interviews, and it just may be about when Johnny Marry spilled the beans in an interview found here: http://www.cemetrygates.com/vault/smiths/record.html

No Picture jessie Wanna Be	#6 by jessie sinanan at Mar 26, 1988 at 5:39 AM EST
	Violence is bad, kids.

No Picture Ryan Average	#7 by Ryan Noffke at Jan 20, 1990 at 6:28 AM EST
	I like the Joan of Arc part since she was a martyr and a cross-dresser. Another 4th gender person?

No Picture Brett Professional	#8 by Brett Czap at Aug 26, 1990 at 9:28 PM EST
	I came across Placebo's version of this song while digging for some of their obscure tracks, then was taken in by The Smiths' original version. I'd never considered the humor angle of this song before... that would explain the cartoonish, Chipmunk-like background vocals. They make a good harmony, but sound totally silly.

No Picture Dr. Average	#9 by Dr. Funkinstein at Mar 14, 1991 at 2:18 AM EST
	Has no one considered that perhaps the BigMouth is Margaret Thatcher? Morrisey's main enemy? well, as well as the Royals.

No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#10 by Patrick Wade at Jul 18, 1994 at 5:22 AM EST
	you know, the walkman wasn't invented in 1431(oh and jcase918, the cure have never had a number 1 hit so you are very much mistaken).

No Picture Sam Wanna Be	#11 by Sam Payne at May 14, 1995 at 11:05 PM EST
	alright I think this song is hilarious

No Picture That One Guy Musical Genius	#12 by That One Guy at Jun 8, 1995 at 5:51 PM EST
	the guitar in this song is amazing. it gives me chills.

No Picture IvZ Average	#13 by IvZ at Jan 30, 2002 at 12:10 AM EST
	i used to think there was a chipmunk-voiced woman in the smiths because of this song.

No Picture Lucas Average	#14 by Lucas Gracia at Oct 16, 2003 at 7:28 AM EST
	even though this song is a bit, you know, i like it alot because i jsut do!!!well, at least now we know how joan of arc felt....

No Picture paddy Average	#15 by paddy coscoran at Jan 17, 2005 at 12:07 AM EST
	You probably all know this, but no one said it, so I will. The squeaky voice is Morrisey's vocals only played at high speed and attacked by techinical thingys, but in the cover notes its credited to a woman called 'Ann Coates' who doesn't actually exist. Ann Coates is a pun on the Ancoats district in Manchester.

No Picture Hudson Lead Player	#16 by Hudson Ryan at Sep 27, 2006 at 9:38 PM EST
	This song sounds really serious until you listen carefully. Morrissey is a big goofball.
