Karaoké Frankly, Mr. Shankly The Smiths

Frankly, Mister Shankly this position I've held

It pays my way and it corrodes my soul

I want to leave you will not miss me

I want to go down in musical history

Frankly, Mister Shankly

I'm a sickening wreck

I've got the twenty-first century breathing down my neck

I must move fast you understand me

I want to go down in celluloid history

Mister Shankly

Fame, fame, fatal fame it can play hideous tricks on the brain

But still I'd rather be famous than righteous or holy any day, any day, any day

But sometimes I feel more fulfilled

Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill

I want to live and I want to love

I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of

Frankly, Mister Shankly this position I've held

It pays my way and it corrodes my soul

Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry

I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry

Mister Shankly

Frankly, Mister Shankly since you ask

You are a flatulent pain in the ass

I do not mean to be so rude

Still, I must speak frankly

Mister Shankly

Oh, give us your money
