The Smiths – What's the World? (James cover)

• 0
  General Comment:This was James' first single and is about the music industry i think.. a slightly recurring theme for Tim in the early days - look up Johnny Yen. some of the lyrics printed above are wrong though.
  
  should read something like:
  
  "what will you sell,
  with the glasses and suit,
  heart and soul, wont wear out?
  that's not enough,
  i want what's inside.
  take the fish fillet knife
  and cut right through my eyes.
  
  I'm looking for some words to call my own.
  not worn out phrases and hand-me-downs.
  They'll mock me on where i stand.
  A bug on its back in a corned beef can.
  
  Going under, you can feel them pulling you down
  to the rust inside.
  
  This is the way a new star is born
  From those bits and pieces others have worn
  All held together by a management glue
  Too much glue and watch your stars turn blue...
  
  going under, you can feel them stripping you down
  to the holes inside."
