Stretch out and Wait (2011 Remaster) - The Smiths

On the high-rise estate

What's at the back of your mind

Oh a three-day debate

On a high-rise estate

What's at the back of your mind

Two icy-cold hands

Conducting the way

It's the Eskimo blood in my veins

Amid concrete and clay

And general decay

Nature must still find a way

So ignore all the codes of the day

Let your juvenile influences sway

This way and that way

This way and that way

God how sex implores you

To let yourself lose yourself

Stretch out and wait

Stretch out and wait

Let your puny body

Lie down lie down

As we lie you say

As we lie you say

Stretch out and

Stretch out and wait

Stretch out and wait

Let your puny body

Lie down lie down

As we lie you say:

Will the world end

In the night time

(I really don't know)

Or will the world end

In the day time

(I really don't know)

And is there any point

Ever having children

Oh I don't know

What I do know is

We're Here and it's Now

So stretch out and wait

Stretch out and wait

There is no debate

No debate no debate

How can you

Conciously contemplate

When there's no debate

No debate

Stretch out and wait

Stretch out and wait

Stretch out and wait

Wait

Wait

Wait

Wait
