Smiths Trivia Questions
1. Which Smiths song is this lyric from? "I know I'm unloveable you don't have to tell me."

From Quiz Depressing Smiths Lyrics

Answer: Unloveable

One of the Smiths better B-sides. However this song was never performed live.

2. OK, a fairly well known one to get you started. What's the song this lyric is from? "A jumped up pantry boy"

From Quiz Devilish Smiths Lyrics

Answer: This Charming Man

One of the best known Smiths songs. Certainly the one I've heard most at rubbish indie discos. I swear, the next person I hear singing "a jumped up country boy" is going to feel the sharp end of my tongue. Full Lyric: "A jumped up pantry boy/ Who never knew his place/ He said: "return the ring"/ He knows so much about these things"

3. In what song will you hear: "There's always someone, somewhere, with a big nose who knows..."?

From Quiz "The Queen is Dead" Lyrics

Apparently the last Smiths song ever recorded for b-side of "Girlfriend In A Coma". One of very few poor efforts too.

6. The most important question of all (almost). What are Morrissey's two given names?

From Quiz General THE SMITHS questions

Has been misspelled as Stephen, but Morrissey himself makes it clear in "Ouijaboard", "It spells S T E V E N..."

It would go on to be their only original release to hit No.1 in the United Kingdom.

15. Moving on. Again what's the song? "Take me to the haven of your bed"

From Quiz Devilish Smiths Lyrics

Answer: Reel Around the Fountain

A lyric from probably the most beautiful love song ever written. Definitely NOT about child abuse. Full Lyric: "I dreamt about you last night/ And I fell out of bed twice/ You can pin and mount me/ Like a Butterfly/ But take me to the haven of your bed/ Was something that you never said/ Two lumps please/ You're the bee's knees/ But so am I"
