Frankly Mr Shankly - The Smiths

"Frankly, Mr. Shankly" is not a movie or television show, but rather a song by the British band The Smiths. Released in 1986 as part of their album "The Queen Is Dead," the song is a satirical take on record label executives. The Smiths, formed in Manchester in 1982, consisted of Morrissey (vocals), Johnny Marr (guitar), Andy Rourke (bass), and Mike Joyce (drums). Known for their distinctive sound and Morrissey's poignant lyrics, The Smiths became influential in the alternative music scene of the 1980s.

But sometimes I'd feel more fulfilled
But still I'd rather be famous
Fame, Fame, fatal Fame
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held
I must move fast, you understand me
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of
I want to go down in musical history
I want to leave, you will not miss me
I want to live and I want to love
I've got the 21st Century breathing down my neck
It pays my way and it corrodes my soul
Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
Mr. Shankly
Oh give us money!
Than righteous or holy, any day, any day, any day
You are a flatulent pain in the arse
