Bigmouth Strikes Again Lyrics
Sweetness, sweetness
I was only joking when I said I'd like to
Smash every tooth in your head

Sweetness, sweetness
I was only joking when I said by rights
You should be bludgeoned in your bed

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know of Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

This song sounds really serious until you listen carefully. Morrissey is a big goofball.

Serious? This song is a hilarious indictment of Morrissey's own big mouth! He is the Joan of Arc of this song and the flames he's talking about are those he brought on himself by mouthing off about the royal Family, Madonna, and too many other subjects to name. That's why I loved him--his crackpot statements and acidic wit were second to none in the music business. People who didn't get the humor in the Smith's songs were totally missing the point.

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.

i used to think there was a chipmunk-voiced woman in the smiths because of this song.

I've heard that the chipmunk vocals is not from a woman as credited in the liner notes, but is actually Morrissey's own altered voice.

I like the Joan of Arc part since she was a martyr and a cross-dresser. Another 4th gender person?

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.

hey i found this version of (supposedly) the smiths doing across the universe on limewire, and i was wondering if anyone knows if its a fake or not. its definately not morrissey singing, but there are a bunch of people talking in the backround, and i think i heard morrisseys voice. also, if it is real, whos singing? thanks!

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!

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.

Three fun songs on one smiths album? (Some Girls doesn't count because the music is too gorgeous.) Give that man a miserable pill!

There's a British comedian named Kenny Everret where the guy gets burned at stake while he's wearing a walkman. I think this has something to do with that.

placebo KILLED this song. it sounds like the lead singer has inhaled helium. Noone can do it the way Morrisey can.

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).

Has no one considered that perhaps the BigMouth is Margaret Thatcher? Morrisey's main enemy? well, as well as the Royals.

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:
