Lyrics of
Bigmouth Strikes Again

Bigmouth Strikes Again was written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, members of the British band The Smiths. The song is known for its ironic humor and the peculiar way it addresses serious themes such as communication and misunderstanding. The reference to Joan of Arc, who was a French national heroine and a saint of the Catholic Church, suggests a feeling of being a misunderstood martyr, while the mention of her Walkman starting to melt adds a mode ... rn touch of humor to the tale of suffering.

Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when
I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head______________________
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when
I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.__________
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt, now I know how
Joan of Arc felt,____ _____as the flames rose
to her Roman nose and her Walkman started to melt_______

Bigmouth la da da da da
Bigmouth la da da da
Bigmouth strikes again and I've got no right to take my place with the
human race

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt, now I know how
Joan of Arc felt,____ _____as the flames rose
to her Roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt_______

Bigmouth la da da da da
Bigmouth la da da da
Bigmouth strikes again and I've got no right to take my place with the
human race
(face out)
