I Started Something I Couldn't Finish

I Started Something I Couldn't Finish - The Smiths

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 labour

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
