Morrissey - We'll Let You Know Lyrics






How sad are we ?
And how sad have we been ?
We'll let you know, We'll let you know
Oh, but only if - you're really interested
You wonder how
We've stayed alive 'till now
We'll let you know, We'll let you know
But only if - you're really interested
We're all smiles
Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles
That make us hostile
Oh ... We will descend
On anyone unable to defend
Themselves
Oh ... And the songs we sing
They're not supposed to mean a thing
La, la, la, la ... Oh ...
You're lonely, Oh ... you're lonely
Oh ...
GET OFF THE ROOF !
Oh ... Your Arsenal !
We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever know
You'll never never want to know

Morrissey We'll Let You Know Comments
  1. D.... g....

    This song sucks

  2. D.... g....

    He's a sold out ....sent to trick and exploit Whites

  3. Y.... C....

    Mid 90s 2020

  4. M.... J....

    Mid 90s<3

  5. M.... ....

    I’m a big Smiths and Morrissey fan but haven’t heard this one before, loved it instantly.

  6. s.... w....

    English football hooliganism...

  7. n.... ....

    Love this song but I like the fact that it was in the movie mid-90s also. A lot of the hip-hop and songs like this was featured in the movie it represent my taste in music in the 90s and even now

  8. M.... M....

    What the hell is Mid 90s?

    M.... M....

    A really good movie

  9. J.... M....

    R.I.P. BEN RAEMERS, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED!

  10. M.... 5....

    I'm really interested!

  11. M.... S....

    Alain Whyte, what a great songwriter - one of my fave chord sequences ever! And the vocals, and the lyrics... Ok, I admit it -it's one of my all time fav songs in general lol x

    M.... S....

    Alan whyte is the best!!!!

  12. f.... c....

    In this song "the last truly British people" are the football gangs - British patriots.
    The rest of the nation is apathetic and cowed because patriotism was made dirty by the intelligentsia.
    1991-92 saw countrywide riotting and the implementation of the Maastricht Treaty by the elites.
    Britain was for sale only if sense of nation could be crushed. Of course Morrissey realised this before most Brits.

  13. b.... 2....

    Morrissey is a massive piece of shit but this a good song nonetheless

  14. z.... ....

    This beautiful sad and courageous work hits my gut and heart every time. "And the songs we sing
    They're not supposed to mean a thing". Tyrannical political correctness was dogging him back then and only accelerated since.

  15. G.... B....

    Brexit's anthem.

  16. S.... V....

    I was 16

  17. r.... j....

    This album helped me through my awkward junior year of high school, '92-'93! A year of wonder and new discoveries. At time that I was being shaped me into the man I am today. Needless to say, I look upon this album with great fondness!

  18. D.... R....

    Not a typical Morrissey offering, musically. Lyrically, yes. It took me a long time to love this song, but I'm glad I came around...............

  19. H.... S....

    I revisited this song from mid 90s and it has definitely had a second coming in my play list.

  20. I.... G....

    If you are here cause of Mid90s and love the song, awesome! as akiller Smiths/morrissey fan i advise to check em out deeper its all amazing!

  28. M.... I....

    That whistle....

  29. G.... M....

    Listening to the smiths when I was a teen brought me here.. And the mid90s movoe is really good. Even better soundtrack! Awesome how Morrissey gave his permission for this song to be used in it. And same for all the other artists too

  30. S.... �....

    The Smiths brought me here

  31. P.... H....

    How about now? Morrissey is pretty anti-immigrant yes? still, an incredible song, such great proiduction values.

  32. E.... ....

    Mid 90's took you to this like Perks of Being a Wall Flower took you to Seasick, yet still Docked....my local radio station straight out of 1992 brought me here.

  33. K.... L....

    The DUP wank over this song. (Fact !)

  34. A.... D....

    Jonah hill is a genius

  35. J.... D....

    Fuck, shit, that was dope!!

  41. A.... A....

    'interesting' would have been more in keeping with Moz's snobbery than 'interested'

  42. g.... p....

    i've owned this album over twenty years but this song never stood out or clicked.
    Thanks Mid90s for waking me up to it's greatness.

    g.... p....

    I liked this right away. I guess it all depends on what you're going through in life for certain songs to resonate..

    g.... p....

    Isnt it funny how putting a song into a movie scene can transform it....happens to me all the time!

  43. S.... ....

    I knew it was Morrissey in mid 90's

  44. N.... M....

    B.... ....

    Hideki Oira fr

    B.... ....

    well this song was from the 90s LMAo 92 to be specific

    B.... ....

    Yeah, so was fuckin’ Marky mark, but that doesn’t mean it would work in that movie.

    B.... ....

    Actually it better because Jonah Hill said he wrote most of the movie scenes to the songs

    B.... ....

    I was in college when this came out. Reminds me of driving up Route 114!

  50. M.... D....

    Feels like a friend talking to you when he sings ..God bless you Mo

  51. S.... F....

    one of my favorite albums all-time

  52. H.... B....

    i can remember exactly what was feeling the first time i heard it.......i am feeling it all over,,,

  53. P.... M....

    Full of sympathy ... but too what.. I never get it, but I feel it.. lyrics, melodies, dark, wow.. I’m speechless, confused,.. yet in tears.. from what..

  54. j.... A....

    An Anthem for the GOOD and BAD - silent classic

  55. E.... C....

    The last 60 seconds of this song...

  56. n.... ....

    one brilliant song.

  57. P.... F....

    "And the songs we sing, they're not supposed to mean a thing. La da da,da, etc.' Great mockery of what the system demands.

  58. z.... m....

    one of my favorite lyrics love you morrissey

  59. P.... ....

    Morrissey is a proud Englishman and he cares about English cultural identity more than a typical liberal does. When will liberals allow anglo people to be proud of their cultural identity? I find it strange that liberals are great cheerleaders for non-British culture, encouraging every ethnic minority to express their identity but for some reason white Anglo people are not "allowed" to do the same.

    P.... ....

    Ha! Boom.

    P.... ....

    keypointist Speaking as a monday morning Quarterback from America,the biggest mistakes England made were abandoning Catholicism and leaving the 13 Colonies in 1783.

    P.... ....

    Paul Morgan i thought he was ethnically Irish, i actually saw his point of view w the album ... we shoyld have the right to be who we are , especially in our own lands , and looking at England now and the migrant crisis, he was on to something. everyone was saying to me at the time" hes a racist why do u listen" . I found it to be just commentary on english society really,argh who knows. But hes proud of being British, whats the prob.

    P.... ....

    Leftists believe in utopias that never ever come. Not one has ever come about. The more "diverse" via immigration a place becomes, the greater the social isolation, the less the social trust, the greater the unhappiness of the citizenry. The ruling elites LOVE populations that cannot and will not ever come together as one to confront their power grabs.

    P.... ....

    really, every culture will blend together? you can envision africa for example becoming white, or even just less black? I highly doubt you have anything in mind other than Western countries

    in the long run, more northern people will be white, the east asians will be east asian, etc. they became that way to begin with for a reason, it's environmental.

    also, how could it be inevitable? there are plenty of countries who have the sense to close their borders and celebrate their culture.

  60. M.... S....

    The caveat to just about every job application?

  61. R.... V....

    does he not say-
    'O we were- O we were'....?

  62. F.... F....

    tells u everything about england

  63. C.... F....

    morrisey the only famous sage except for dalai lama

  64. P.... ....

    How sad are we?
    And how sad have we been?
    We'll let you know
    We'll let you know
    Oh, but only if, you're really interested
    You wonder how
    We've stayed alive 'till now
    We'll let you know
    We'll let you know
    But only if, you're really interested
    We're all smiles
    Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles
    That make us hostile
    Oh
    We will descend
    On anyone unable to defend
    Themselves
    Oh
    And the songs we sing
    They're not supposed to mean a thing
    La, la, la, la
    Oh
    You're lonely
    Oh, you're lonely
    Oh
    Get off the roof!
    Oh
    Your arsenal!
    We may seem cold, or
    We may even be
    The most depressing people you've ever known
    At heart, what's left, we sadly know
    That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
    We are the last truly British people you will ever know
    You'll never never want to know

    P.... ....

    Favorite lyric: Honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles That make us hostile.
    Does your life resemble the life of Hamlet? I used to read Shakespeare.

    P.... ....

    We will descend
    On anyone unable to defend
    Themselves

    P.... ....

    Why am I in tears?

  65. T.... G....

    I love this song. I love this charming man...

  66. A.... R....

    That song has great melodies, with a kind of sad, haunting overtone that only Morrissey can pull off with such ease and consistency. That bass line is perfect; just an extremely well written song on all parts.

    A.... R....

    Chilling calming guitars. Solid drumming. Not flashy. Understated. Thank you. Keep on keeping on. Love the psychedelia coming in. Need to ground

    A.... R....

    Aaron Rice It's a musical peek at imperialism. It's a deep understanding of the order we all live in.. A guilty "gratitud".. the more aestetic sadness I've ever heard. We owe our life style to the blood shed by millions in so many wars...pointless wars ?
    You tell me

    Could've been different?

    It's all human nature

    Excuse my english...I am not native

    A.... R....

    Full of sympathy.... but to what.. I never get it, but I feel it.. that is the key..

  67. d.... b....

    My all time favorite Morrissey song and album.

    d.... b....

    dean b Excellent song but
    Viva Hate is my fave Morrissey LP.
    In 92 this was my first exposure to Nationalism.
    We just started talking about such subjects on a national level here in 3rd world USA.

    d.... b....

    All tracks are breathtaking.. this song was so epic to me..

  68. C.... E....

    Superb.

  69. G.... T....

    so good...why has he surpassed the test of times....just because.. 

  70. S.... A....

    Honest/I swear/it's the turnstyles/that make us hostile!

  71. t.... ....

    21 years later and it still hits hard- love it.

  72. w.... ....

    Morrissey said this was his favourite song of his entire catalogue in a radio interview once.

    w.... ....

    he did! I'll never forget it. It was 1997 and he was about to play in tulsa and a local station aired the interview. I remember being floored because it was my favorite of his as well. I was 17 at the time.

    w.... ....

    Well it’s “life is a pigsty” nowadays

    w.... ....

    Hard to believe that he picked this track over anything The Smiths made but it is quite good.

    w.... ....

    Jacob E. Why would he pick a Smiths track? Stuff he's done since is far superior..

    w.... ....

    @David Dyer not my thing, I really like this song but personally, I don't think his solo even touches The Smiths

  73. E.... D....

    goosebumps

  74. M.... O....

    who the fuck asked you?

  75. h.... ....

    Judging from the lyrics, yes?

    Especially the last stanza: -
    'We may seem cold, or we may even be
    The most depressing people you've ever known
    At heart, what's left, we sadly know
    That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
    We are the last truly British people you will ever know
    You'll never ever want to know.......'

    Pretty plain isn't it, especially in the context of the preceding?

  76. c.... ....

    My Mother (god rest her soul) was born in Glasgow. Was put up for adoption and adopted by a family with roots in Belfast. My Mother told us she would be taken to holiday in Belfast in the summer. She her Brother and Mother would go to the seaside while her Father donned an orange bowler and marched through the bogside. I live in Hamilton Ontario Canada

  77. c.... ....

    I don't agree he is lampooning it. I think he's observing the truth. This is the first time in history I believe that countries like the U.K. have morphed racial prevalence within a generation or two. Maybe the Roman invasions transplanted alot of nationalities quickly but I don't think on the scale we're seeing in countries today. I get the impression Morrissey's waxing a little sad about the reality that the world he knew as he grew up is for sure disappearing.

  78. A.... J....

    Viva Hate

  79. M.... O....

    An englishman with two Irish parents. Truly british alright.

    M.... O....

    Sam Hamelin Europeans are so fucking retarded when it comes to nationalism. He was born and raised in Manchester, how the fuck is he not a true Brit???? Yet, you're the type to call out Americans for being stupid, even though BY YOUR OWN LOGIC there are no "true Americans" because it's a land of immigrants. God you're so obnoxious.

  80. S.... T....

    love his needle in the eye ...

  81. S.... T....

    thats exactly the problem "that you can read anything into anything" - and its also exactly what Morrisey doesnt allow himself to do ...definition of targeted ...that mans lyrics

  82. J.... H....

    eh. kind of. but I guess you can read anything into anything.

  83. d.... t....

    thats about all i have to say too

  84. H.... G....

    It's VERY serious, and wot the way out is, God only knows?

    But this guy nails it.

    Brilliant!

  85. r.... ....

    because it's only what they want to see

  86. a.... ....

    @lyonslaforet yes, I agree. especially viva la hate, but your arsenal is something else for me (subjectively)

  87. l.... ....

    @alexcurd With Viva Hate (1988) and Vauxhall And I (1994).

  88. c.... ....

    @arooh I thought so too until I read herbgarrat's post.

  89. p.... ....

    @arooh Yes, hoorah someone gets it !!!!

  90. K.... ....

    Moz at his best, as scarily close to the English mindset as it gets.

    K.... ....

    Moz art

  91. a.... ....

    best fucking album by Mozz ever

  92. R.... R....

    Morrissey has always, very astutely, illustrated the difference between patriotism & nationalism. How can people listen to a song like this & then accuse him of being a flag waving racist?

    R.... R....

    thank god you said the end because you had no argument at all

  93. n.... ....

    I need to hear this for inspiration because tomorrow
    I`m embarking on unknown journey in my life. I`ll put it all in God`s hands and meditate seeking peace through Morrissey`s music.

    n.... ....

    How are you now?

    n.... ....

    alrighty then

  94. a.... ....

    Is this song about football hooliganism?

    a.... ....

    Here's an answer 7 years later: yes. And thanks for the laugh.

  95. H.... G....

    Only an Englishman, and one of this calibre, could deride Britain so comprehensively as this. Nationalism, Colonialism, Patriotism, and all the other sad BS that has scarred the National psyche is so beautifully and elliptically lampooned here.

    Brilliant!

    H.... G....

    Herbert Garratt now I get it.. that is what I felt..

    H.... G....

    Another mindless globalist heard from. Meek and timid consumer of corporate product. Interchangeable with anyone else.
