Smiths, The - I Started Something I Couldn't Finish Lyrics






The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused a friendly venture
With a hard-faced, three word gesture

I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted, typical me, typical me
Typical me, I started something and now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And I doused another venture
With a gesture that was absolutely vile

I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted, typical me, typical me
Typical me, I started something and now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And now eighteen months hard-labor seems fair enough

I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted, typical me, typical me
Typical me, I started something and now I'm not too sure

I started something, I started something
Typical me, typical me, typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me, typical me, I started something
And now I'm not too sure

    The lanes were silent
    There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
    I doused our friendly venture
    With a hard-faced
    Three-word gesture

    I started something
    I forced you to a zone
    And you were clearly
    Never meant to go
    Hair brushed and parted
    Typical me, typical me
    Typical me
    I started something
    And now I'm not too sure

    I grabbed you by the guilded beams
    Uh, that's what tradition means
    And I doused another venture
    With a gesture
    That was absolutely vile

    I started something
    I forced you to a zone
    And you were clearly
    Never meant to go
    Hair brushed and parted
    Typical me, typical me
    Typical me
    I started something
    And now I'm not too sure

    I grabbed you by the guilded beams
    Uh, that's what tradition means
    And now eighteen months' hard labor
    Seems fair enough

    I started something
    And I forced you to a zone
    And you were clearly
    Never meant to go
    Hair brushed and parted
    Typical me, typical me
    Typical me
    I started something
    And now I'm not too sure

    I started something
    I started something
    Typical me, typical me
    Typical me, typical me
    Typical me, typical me
    Typical me
    I started something
    And now I'm not too sure

    OK Stephen, do that again?

  5. M.... W....

    A good melody. One of the better ones, perhaps.

  6. F.... T....

    Date rape, how brave of Morrissey to put it out there. I know very few songs about such delicate social issues short of areosmith doing janies got a gun and amos singing about her sexual assault. I think this song was first for me as identification but morrisey does have an incredibly dark mind. I love his work, he is a lyrical powerhouse 😲😎🤣

  7. S.... E....

    why does the image in the video say "I started something I can't finish" when the song title is "I started something i couldn't finish"

  8. m.... 7....

    chale me recuerda va mi ex:'(

  9. P.... C....

    ok steven do that again .Not to me you wont

  10. E.... V....

    *in yoda's voice*
    THat's wHAt YOU dId to mE

    E.... V....

    what you did to me, that's what

    E.... V....

    THAT'S WHAT TRADITION MEANS

  11. M.... H....

    It's probably already mentionned somewhere down the scroll but I need to say it again : that <3 song <3 features on "Strangeways, here we come" not on "Meat is murder" :/

  12. M.... T....

    #Trexit

  13. F.... M....

    Wow it's crazy how no one gives a shit. Now stop posting on every video in this playlist and go to bed Timmy.

    b.... c....

    @Dapper Turtle I think I saw you on another comment saying the same thing. Ironic. You could stop others from caring, but not yourself.

  26. J.... M....

    Does anyone else dance around their room like a teenager again when listening to certain Smith's songs?!!!......it can't be just me! 🤦‍♀️

    J.... M....

    @D4rkT1mes haha

    J.... M....

    I do that with Mr. Bungle

    J.... M....

    That's because we never stop being teenagers

    J.... M....

  30. E.... G....

    E.... G....

    Didnt each single have it's own cover separate from the album?

    E.... G....

    @NIIIIQQ maybe Warner Bros didn't afford all posters for all singles

    E.... G....

    meat is murder

  31. k.... t....

    T.... P....

    @Nunes Alves VITÓRIA NA GUERRA IRMÃO

    T.... P....

    Brasil sempre presente. 😍😍😍

    S.... P....

  34. A.... N....

    D.... E....

    It's called hindsight

  36. M.... N....

    What a wonderful way to begin my day today.

  37. b.... c....

    This band Will live on till the end of times

  38. L.... P....

    BIUTIFUL

  39. F.... Y....

    This song is amazing! And the lyrics :(

    F.... Y....

    Haha, nice

  40. S.... L....

    oh come on joyce, i know you are managing this channel and its cool you're uploading official audios but get the covers right!!!

    S.... L....

    I live in Manchester and it's pretty common to see him out and about round here!

    S.... L....

    @linuxel33t that's really really cool!

    S.... L....

    @linuxel33t I'd like to meet him just to shake his hand and thank him..

    S.... L....

    I'm sure I saw him in Wigan a few years ago.

    S.... L....

    and even the song's name is printed wrong.

  41. �.... ....

    How can a band make me think so different about life with words only.

    �.... ....

    It's Morrissey with the words. It's because he'has a deep understanding of suffering that so many people relate to his lyrics.I live in his hometown, and, trust me, we're all acquainted with suffering.

    �.... ....

    You are probably easily manipulable.

    �.... ....

    Or you are going through something in your life.

  42. B.... S....

    Every time somebody complains about morrissey canceling shows I link them this song. Real morrissey fans understand how he feels as a person.

    B.... S....

    People believe their idols should die on the stage for them.

    B.... S....

    You’d be better off linking them ‘I don’t owe you anything’.

    B.... S....

    And you don't seem to understand how no one cares. Delete this.

    B.... S....

    @Callum1Harvey that one too! <3

  43. M.... ....

    💛💛
