"No, I've never had a job because I've never wanted one I've seen you smile but I've never really heard you laugh so who is rich and who is poor? I cannot say..." The Smiths - You've Got Everything Now (Hatful Of Hollow)

"You've Got Everything Now"

As merry as the days were long

I was right and you were wrong

back at the old grey school

I would win and you would lose



But you've got everything now

you've got everything now

and what a terrible mess I've made of my life

oh what a mess I've made of my life



No, I've never had a job

because I've never wanted one

I've seen you smile

but I've never really heard you laugh

so who is rich and who is poor?

I cannot say...



You are your Mother's only son

and you're a desperate one

but I don't want a lover

I just want to be seen

in the back of your car



A friendship sadly lost?

well, this is true

and yet, it's false

but did I ever tell you, by the way

I never did like your face



But you've got everything now

you've got everything now

and what a terrible mess I've made of my life

oh what a mess I've made of my life



No, I've never had a job

because I'm too shy

I've seen you smile

but I've never really heard you laugh

so who is rich and who is poor?

I cannot say...



You are your Mother's only son

and you're a desperate one

but I don't want a lover

I just want to be tied

to the back of your car

to the back of your car

to the back of your car

to the back of your car
