| Another short song that encapsulates the edge of despair and longing. If you link this song to others like How soon is now, last night I dreamt...., No one ever, That joke isn't funny..., and finally I know its over you may have the perfect medley of most depressing songs ever. Putting aside the lyrics the tune and in particular the mandolin is beautiful. The instrumental cover version in the 80s film Ferris Bueller's Day Off (the gallery scene) highlights this. | |

| Everyone talks about songs that make you feel something, but really, The Smiths just nail that. Long title, short song, good stuff | |

| Short, bitter, poignant, like Morrissey has cut through all the BS poetry and is just plainly, heartbreakingly speaking his mind...like a prayer that you mouth to yourself more than to God: "For once in my life, let me get what I want. Lord knows, it would be the first time." | |

| 'haven't had a dream for a long time' says to me that he's got one now, and has some hope. that and the fact that 'the luck i've had' not turning him bad (a good person despite his life) stop this from being the most depressing song ever. incidentally the instrumental cover version by The Dream Academy is the gallery music from Feris Bueller's Day Off. lovely version too. | |

| After listening to it for the 101º time (I am a new Smiths fan) It sounded like a prayer! He repeats "Please" lots of times, as if he were begging for a chance, as it could be his last in a lifetime. Fantastic! Thouchs deeply! | |

| I adore this song and the wonderful way he sings it (great the way he manages to sing slightly off the beat at some points for extra emphasis). I'm not 100% convinced about the tremolo ending, but then I used to play it on repeat for hours on end, it gets a bit boring after a while. Nevermind, it's still one of my favourites. | |

| Love this song. Such longing and heartache. This is one of the Smiths songs that deals straightforward with the meaning and the music. It's wishful thinking in poetry. | |
