Lo peor de estar en paro es que el humor negro de muchas canciones de los Smiths te está vetado si te quieres mantener mínimamente motivado. Me vienen a la cabeza fragmentos de letras como:
“I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows I’m miserable now”
“Do you have a vacancy for a back-scrubber?”
“No, I’ve never had a job because I’m too shy”
(aún es peor cuando dice en la estrofa siguiente “…because I’ve never wanted one”)
“Work is a four-letter word”
“This position I’ve hold / it pays my way / but it corrodes my soul”
O, last but not least, la más “motivadora” de todas:
“And if you have to go to work tomorrow / well if I were you I wouldn’t bother / for there are brighter sides to life / and I should know / because I’ve seen them (but not very often)”
