All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
So, what difference does it make?
So, what difference does it make?
It makes none
But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why?
Because you asked me to
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hands
Well, I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho
So, what difference does it make?
Oh, what difference does it make?
Oh, it makes none
But now you have gone
And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight
Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole, and then I lied
Just because you asked me to
But now you know the truth about me
You won't see me anymore
Well, I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho
But no more apologies
No more apologies
Oh, I'm too tired
I'm so sick and tired
And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
But I'm still fond of you, uh-ho-ho
Oh, my sacred one
Oh...

I do like the drummer.

The Smiths were as good as it gets in 80s England. Anyone who says they're miserable clearly has missed the point.
Joe Strummer says hi.
The first song by the Smiths that I ever heard. Love.
A wonderful riff and a fantastic yet atypical "malaise love song", it's pure Smiths.

I agree that the guitar player is frequently overlooked while Morrissey got the attention. But no one would have noticed Morrissey if not for the astonishing guitar.

The Smiths should be played more. Their catalogue is unbelievably good. Not to mention Morrissey, who's "Low in High School" album is stunning. Also, his earlier work is fabulous too!
More Smiths/Morrissey!

Thank you, Bill for helping me choose what Smiths tracks to put in my playlist.
Good stuff.

Morrissey nowadays is like having to go find a relation with dementia who has wandered off from the home. Again. He sure poisoned his own damn well, and real good.

Back in the 80s, I accidentally bought a Smiths CD. I thought I was buying a Smithereens disk. I liked it just the same and kept it.
My missus got a free ticket to the Smyth's a tribute band who's tag line is we show up more than the Smiths ever did, which says a lot really. I would have liked to see them given Morrissey wasn't there. Oh and she came home with a Gladdy...
The Smiths - the joy of anguish!

"Your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight."
God what a riff! Super hard to play with consistency, but obviously not for Johnny Marr.
A fun blast from the past that always sounds fresh. Play more Smiths!
I've never understood the Church of Morrissey, and far too often can't handle his voice (let alone his subject matter and tone), yet Johnny Marr's guitar work occasionally pushes my annoyance aside and I find myself bopping along with a smile.
Ahh, the genius of Marr/Morrisey.
How wonderful that veganism is ascending and Morrissey's stance is now mainstream

Morrissey's egregious personality aside, I find his singing really, really dull. Always the same phrasing and minor third rise when he's 'improvising' on the melody. I really don't get why some people like him.
I never knew anything personally about Morrissey, which based on the info given here is a good thing. I always thought he had a ridiculously dark, wry, sarcastic humor. I find his lyrics funny, but if he's a jerk it kind of ruins it. Oh well.
I own a 12inch https://www.discogs.com/The-Smiths-What-Difference-Does-It-Make-/release/8100232
with a version that I like much more than this one. Clearer, Rougher.
Morrissey has done the impossible, turned into an even bigger dick than he once was.
love this....
Freakin' awesome tune. Thanks for sharing and making my day, RP!
Nice 80's set now.
Thanks Bill!
Thanks Bill!

The Smiths were a band I idolised back in the day, in spite of Morrissey. However some of his comments after the Manchester terrorist attack were outrageous even for someone with a proven record of being a bampot. Best not to know anything about your hero’s!

Ace tune but not done justice by this version
This song takes on greater meaning for me because I just finished reading Johnny Marr's autobiograph. A great read about following one's passion to wherever it leads. Marr is one of the most diversely talented guitarists in history, and to think it all started here...
Fond memories being in UK at the time The Smiths were playing in Oxford.
Amazing band and tune.......
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
Please stop this noise
Please stop this noise
Mark Twain said that Wagner was better than it sounds. Smiths songs would be so much better without Morrissey's dreadful yodelling.
Back when Morrissey was a knob head who mattered. Good memories. Miserable music done well.

Look, The Smiths evoke some strong reactions. I get it. Many times I just want Morrisey to shut up. But when I peel back the Morrisey lyric I am always struck by the Johnny Marr guitar and the Andy Rourke bass. Their arrangement and sound is unique, it's complex and well played. Marr and Rourke were a pretty special pair.

I must be being punished my Gods of RP for my recent Coldplay comment because as soon as I turn the sound back on... Morrissey. DOH!

My knowledge of country music is so scant it's measured by the thimble, but I get the impression that the industry goes through phases of change that force the old generation to disappear entirely to make room for the new stars. Other musical genres do the same thing, but it seems more pronounced and engendered by record labels in country than in other styles.
Am I completely wrong, oldfart48? Can you recommend any particular "real country" artists?

Yep, I'll second that. Morrissey is a great songwriter, Marr a great guitarist. Together they were greater than the sum of their parts, apart they're less. Neither has reached the zenith that they achieved with The Smiths. Morrissey is an awful gobshite with some dubious views, and it's a continuing mystery to me why he's become such a poster boy for middle-aged menopausal men, but that can all be ignored and his songs enjoyed in their own right. This song was on the very first Smiths album, which I had ages ago and played the grooves out of before having to sell it due to being skint (a sadly frequent occurrence in my life).
Morrisey may be a complete and utter knob, but I for one have never paid any attention to his utterings. The music speaks for itself, great stuff. Johnny Marr should stick to the guitar and keep his mouth firmly shut too.

There is some great country/folk music out there. Part of Rock'n'Roll's roots. but not Garth Brooks, dead dogs or shooting the juke box, if you please.

There are some days when RP lays down such riveting grooves that I can't leave the house, let alone, leave this cherry spot between the cranking speakers! This is one of them! Bravo, Bill! and Thanks!
"What difference does it make?" Didn't somebody say that not that long ago? I'm trying to remember.
Such a great, great LP! So good to hear a Smiths song other than "How soon is now"....

It might be a nice piece of writing, but the logic is not nice at all. "I think the reason the rest of you (you being non Americans) don't choose to like Country is that country comes from our country, the United States of America, and not from your country, some other place. "
Utter tosh. The reason I don't like country music is that 90% of it cloying, sentimental gloop, bereft of authenticity and presented in a way that jars with my taste buds. It is an issue of taste, not nationality. Nationality is a matter of fact, taste is a matter of opinion. Once we start listening to music on the grounds of national origin, it is a short step to fascism. You would know you live in a fascist state as you would see national flags everywhere, and externally originated ideas would be trashed, and xenophobes would start appealing to the nationalist streak, talking sentimentally about 'this great country' and constrasting how great 'our country is' and how it is under threat from 'other countries.' The antidote to this is the free exchange of ideas, so I'm glad to hear a little country on RP, and I hope that I can learn to enjoy the 10% of country music that is acceptable to me, and that we can all share in the joy of music, wherever it comes from...

Morrisey is for me the male equivalent of Natalie Merchant with his monotone vocalizing - here except for the falsetto in the end.
I think the musicians are excellent, and I think they clearly struck a nerve with the young listeners in both the UK and US at the time for which I give them props.
I am the great defender of the non pitch perfect singer songwriters on this site so I can't be too harsh on the band, but that doesn't mean I have to put them up with the likes of Waits, Neil Young, Costello, Radiohead, Pearl Jam or Dylan - geniuses (IMHO) who get flogged here for the vocals.

everyone seems to love The Smiths, and earlier today everyone was slagging off the '74 version of the Floyds Shine on.

one of the greatest compliments I ever got..A fan once said I was his 2nd fav. guitar player of Johnny Marr..I'll take that anyday

I don't know what it is about this song... I have and always have had a deep and enduring dislike for The Smith right from their first records in 1983. Even constant exposure to them from a friend when we were in the Soviet Union for three months in 1987 didnt change my mind. And yet I absolutely love this song and have done since I first heard it a quarter of a century ago. Go figure.
