The Smiths Song Lyrics

Artist: The Smiths (N/A)
Song: Meat Is Murder
Album: Meat Is Murder

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die (repeat)
A death for no reason and death for no reason is murder

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason and death for no reason is murder

And the calf that you carve with a smile, it Is murder
And the turkey you festively slice, it Is murder
Do you know how animals die?

Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not comforting, cheery, or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench of murder

It's not natural, normal, or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth as you savour the flavour of murder

No, no, no, it is murder (repeat)
...and who hears when animals cry?
