Released at October 26th 1987, this track opens the Smiths' fourth and last
album, "Strangeways, Here We Come". Sweeping with a pumping tango-ish piano,
followed with Moz's melancholic singing, this one is a easy, but catchy, tune.

He------------llo,

I am the ghost of troubled Joe
Bb C Dm Bb
Hung by his pretty neck some eighteen months ago

I travelled to a mystical time zone
C Dm Bb
And I missed my bed and I soon came home

They said "there's too much caffeine in your bloodstream"

And a lack of real spice in your life"

I said "leave me alone because I'm alright, dad,
C Dm Bb C
Surprised to still be on my own"
