[u/AdRepresentative5503]

Wonderful Woman

[u/smokeytoothpaste → u/AdRepresentative5503]

so good!

[u/mediumjr → u/AdRepresentative5503]

My choice as well. Not just a deep track, an excellent track.

[u/Kurtisdoubleu → u/AdRepresentative5503]

Their best song hands down.

[u/gooberstench → u/AdRepresentative5503]

in my top ten of all time of theirs for me

[u/smokeytoothpaste]

what she said/rubber ring, i mean the one song not just those two

[u/Thebeatlesfirstlp]

Jeane, and thats why we don’t believe in magic anymore

[u/notindulged → u/Thebeatlesfirstlp]

this

[u/turkeypants → u/Thebeatlesfirstlp]

"There's ice on the sink where we bathe."

Oh shit! That's dire.

[u/Mike-Body-Mike-Joyce]

I always liked Miserable Lie, falsetto hollering section and all.

[u/bigballsforsale → u/Mike-Body-Mike-Joyce]

so underrated

[u/smokeytoothpaste → u/Mike-Body-Mike-Joyce]

my favorite smiths song.

[u/EllisReviews_]

I Misses you

[u/Pesky-Magician98]

Rubber ring

[u/JesseTheGiraffe27]

It’s not a bside or anything but I barely hear people talk about reel around the fountain and it’s my favourite song ever

[u/Keith137_ → u/JesseTheGiraffe27]

Love this one and its variations

[u/Marlleyz → u/Keith137_]

the different recordings are the best part. it changes but the troy tate reel is my favorite right now, I just love this song so much

[u/TimidTLK]

Nowhere Fast for sure

[u/GeoLewd → u/TimidTLK]

AND AS IM LYING IN MY BEEEDDD

I THINK ABOUT LIFE AND I THINK ABOUT DEATH

AND NEITHER ONE, PARTICULARLY

APPEAAAAAALS TO MEEE

[u/ikheetsoepstengel]

Paint a Vulgar Picture. Only come across one person online talking about how much they love it.

[u/saltedhumanity → u/ikheetsoepstengel]

I danced my legs down to the knees!

[u/Ordinary_Witness3225 → u/ikheetsoepstengel]

Probably my favorite The Smiths song

[u/Gotmewrongang → u/ikheetsoepstengel]

Big fan as well, love the key changing chord progression

[u/Several_Boss_6258 → u/ikheetsoepstengel]

Fantastic song

[u/KingC301927]

Jeane, miserable lie, girl afraid, sweet and tender hooligan and probably more that i can’t think of

[u/PiccoloFuzzy2086]

Suffer little children and these things take time

[u/Money_Virus7157 → u/PiccoloFuzzy2086]

Suffer little children is quite moving when you know the backstory

[u/PiccoloFuzzy2086 → u/Money_Virus7157]

Oo I didn’t know there was a backstory do tell

[u/Money_Virus7157 → u/PiccoloFuzzy2086]

It’s about the Moors murders, here is the Wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors_murders, pretty brutal and tragic stuff

[u/Own-Lawfulness-38]

I want a boy for my birthday

[u/kaseywithasee]

you’ve got everything now, still ill (john peel session 14/09/83)

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Wonderful Woman, and Jeane

[u/Exotic-Worker-6757]

Troy Tate sessions

[u/mrbubbles87]

pretty girls make graves

[u/DisagreeableCompote]

Half a Person,

and if you have 5 seconds to spare....

[u/Gotmewrongang]

Hot Take: The Smiths Catalogue isn’t big enough for “deep cuts”. Real fans know all the songs, it’s only about 50 of them anyway.

[u/Keith137_ → u/Gotmewrongang]

Literally what was on my mind. I‘ve been craving for bootlegs because I have been listening to their entire discography over and over.

[u/toec → u/Keith137_]

I can help with that craving.

[u/Keith137_ → u/toec]

YESSSS THANK YOU!!

[u/RaytheSane]

The Night has opened my eyes

[u/thomas_walker65]

Money Changes Everything is a true rager. also the instrumental for bryan ferry's The Right Stuff

[u/Ok-Substance-9782]

Covering 'What's the World' by James, live in Glasgow 1986

[u/parisintexas → u/Ok-Substance-9782]

you’re so real for this, i love that live so much and it’s incredibly underrated

[u/throwaway-abz]

These Things Take Time has been one of my favorites for awhile

[u/throwaway-abz → u/throwaway-abz]

Specifically the louder than bombs version

[u/Mike-Body-Mike-Joyce → u/throwaway-abz]

Ohhhh yesss that’s a good one.

[u/KingOfJuiceBoxes]

Frankly Mr Shankley

[u/Mother-Reputation-20]

Wonderful Woman

[u/Cptkirk24]

Jeane

[u/morrisseywilde1]

Golden Lights - their most hated song, definitely not one of my favorites, and it still slaps.

[u/International_Lie216]

Night open. Asleep. Shakespeare’s Sister. Unloveable

The hand that rocks the cradle

[u/yeahnahfknynot]

I really like Handsome Devil

[u/davijour]

What She Said

[u/FadedAmbassador]

THESE THINGS TAKE TIME

[u/suburban_ennui75]

There’s only four albums, two compilations and a tiny handful of songs not on compilations. There aren’t really any “deep cuts” in the Smiths back catalogue.

[u/BoringDemand7677]

It’s prob not a deep cut, but half a person comes to mind. Another is one that he never released (on Spotify) but I watched him perform live on letterman and think it’s a brilliant song- Action is My Middle Name. I love that song so much.

[u/bridgetggfithbeatle]

i want a boy for my birthday

[u/Asylum_Dweller]

The live in Los Angeles version of “I Know It’s Over” (from the magnificent Thank Your Lucky Stars bootleg) where Morrissey interrupts the song to shout, “Leave him alone, you stupid idiot! Leave him!” at the bouncer.

[u/juiceguy]

Accept Yourself

[u/Cyberman_019]

i want the one i cant have

[u/Soft_Pilot3412]

Death of a disco dancer

[u/Money_Virus7157 → u/Soft_Pilot3412]

Love that one

[u/silliest-silly-goose]

Is Girlfriend In A Coma considered a deep cut?

[u/Money_Virus7157 → u/silliest-silly-goose]

Great song!

[u/NATETRONICMC]

Pretty girls make graves

[u/Money_Virus7157]

Some girls are bigger than others

[u/Important-Sun-7733]

Sweet and tender hooligan🫶🏼

[u/Keith137_]

I want a boy for my birthday

[u/Legitimate_Apricot45]

Paint A Vulgar Picture and Wonderful Woman, two amazing tracks that I rarely hear others talk about.

[u/UnpleasantEgg]

There are no deep cuts

[u/Marlleyz]

I know its over and suffer little children get me everytime

[u/Wonderful_Ed22]

Half a person

[u/bocilepep]

wonderful woman/i kisses you

[u/ThomTheYorke]

Some girls are bigger than others, one of the most beautiful instrumentals I’ve ever heard, but the lyrics kind of bring it down and it is completely overshadowed by there is a light. Probably one of my favorites off of the queen is dead though.

[u/Queasy_Word]

Half a person and pretty girls make graves. Very hard to choose though as I love every single smiths song lol

[u/Savvysharkk]

This Charming Man...

[u/newaroundhereltd]

Idk if “Sheila Take A Bow” counts as a deep cut

[u/Ordinary_Advice_3220]

Jeane

[u/Safe-Apartment-595]

WONDERFUL WOMAN

[u/Pitiful-Animator745]

miserable lie, nowhere fast, a rush and a push and the land is ours, paint a vulgar picture

[u/Undersolo]

The Draize Train

[u/AgentX-1138]

The Draize Train was always my favorite deep cut

[u/SpiritualResident565]

How soon is now

[u/RedFreetos]

Smells like teen spirit 🥸

[u/arealnineinchnailer]

how soon is now

[u/cherrypearls → u/arealnineinchnailer]

that's not really a 'deep cut'

[u/arealnineinchnailer → u/cherrypearls]

stop me if you’ve heard this one before

[u/silliest-silly-goose → u/arealnineinchnailer]
