I've tried and tried again, but Morrissey always writes my existence better than I ever could. He says exactly what I long to say. At this time in my life, "wish I had the charm to attract the one I love..." springs to mind. Please help the cause against the loneliness....
It is always a pleasure to hear Morrissey pull out an early solo or Smiths song. His voice has gotten much deeper with age and better for that matter. Say what you will, but at 50, he does a better job of Smiths or solo stuff then he did at 25-35.
The album version of this is superbly done with the sea faring sounds mixed into the druggy guitar drone. It's an altogether powerful piece of music...
I am a poor freezingly cold soul So far from where I intended to go Scavenging through life's very constant lulls So far from where I'm determined to go Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love There is no way Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love But you see, I've got no charm Mmm Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold Oh, this is very clear to you And you can tell I have never really loved You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day And all of my life no-one gave me anything No-one has ever given me anything My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye You must be such a fool To pass me by Written by Whyte Morrissey
Gotta be one of the most underrated Morrissey songs, pure quality.

This man truly has a way with words that speaks directly to my heart like no other.
I love this song! MORRISSEY is the only artist in this whole sick world that can put tears in my eyes and yet can make me smile at the same moment.
this song hit me like a ton of bricks on first listen...just simply outstanding.
"Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love, but you see, I have no charm". Fucking kills me every time.

Same here, yatesy117.
One of the best "unknown" songs of all IMO.
I can't believe this is almost 7 years old - I remember watching it upon first broadcast. Doesn't seem that long ago.

I expect nothing less for a brilliant song by one of the only Artists who can truly write alongside that of Wilde!

Hey! This is the version on Swords! Been looking for the video of that recording, thanks for posting!

My life in words.
Love watching the band just as much as I love watching Moz.
Another song rediscovered by me... beautiful.

Alain Whyte is incredible. What a great songwriter.
BEAUTIFUL... HERMOSO!

Unforgetable song!
I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go
Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I've got no charm
Mmm
Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day
And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by

He seems so amused...rightfully so.

This song completely destroys me whenever I hear it.

No , Matt walker
