THE SMITHS
One day Johnny Marr and Morrissey were sitting in Morrissey's house when Morrissey
started scratching the worlds
"The Smiths" on a large piece of cardboard. Morrissey hadn't intended
the name to stick, but Johnny loved the name. It
was the idea that the name was simple
that made the name enticing for the group. "Smith is the most common name in
the universe. It is inoffensive." states Marr. The Smiths, one of the best bands in the 80´s.
white hits like This Charming man,
The boy with the thorn in his
side and Shoplifters of the world united.

Meat is Murder
Heifer whines could be human cries
closer comes the screaming knife
this beautiful creature must die
this beauteful creature must die
a death for no reason
a death for no reason is MURDER
and the flesh you so fancifully fry
is not succulent, tasty or nice
it´s death for no reason
and death for no reason is MURDER
and the calf that you carve whit a smile
is MURDER
and the turkey you festively slice
is MURDER
du you now how animals die?
kitchen aromas aren´t very homely
it´s not ”comforting”, ”cheery” ore kind
it´s sizzling blood and the unholy stench
of MURDER
it´s not ”natural”, ”normal” or kind
the flesh you so fancifully fry
the meat in your mouth
as you savour the flavour
of MURDER
NO, NO, NO IT´S MURDER
who hears when animals cry?
