ASK Lyrics

Artist: The Smiths
Album: BEST...2

Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to

Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to


So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?


Coyness is nice, and
Coyness can stop you
From saying all the things in
Life you'd like to


So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?


Spending warm Summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg


ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME


Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together


Nature is a language - can't you read ?
Nature is a language - can't you read ?


SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME


Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together


If it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb
Then it's the Bomb
That will bring us together


SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
Oh, la ...

I love this song from one of the best bands (in my opinion).. The Smiths rocks!
by Baker on 7/19/2008 6:04am
I love this band!

Rules (:
by juanito on 8/31/2008 5:35am
luv this song, luv the lyrics, luv evrything
by Karan on 9/4/2008 9:54am
This song has that classic Smiths sound, but shouldn't the words be "the bond that will bring us together"? Just a thought
by kelly on 10/2/2008 2:01pm
yeah i thought it was the "bond" not bomb that will bring us together haha....
by JJ on 10/12/2008 11:53pm
its not the bomb.."if its not love.then its the bond that can bring us together.."
by nan on 10/22/2008 9:59am
it definitely is the BOND that will bring us together
by kf on 10/23/2008 12:27am
you're very wrong, it's certainly bomb
by J on 11/7/2008 8:45am
Love this one. One of the very best.
by monkey on 11/11/2008 5:26pm
"The bond" Lollolllol...wtf?
by loppyloo on 11/13/2008 2:04am
It is absolutely the "bomb". Remember children that this song was written in the height of the Cold War and everyone had The Bomb on their minds.
by Toon Scheur on 12/1/2008 9:56am
In the video clip they are throwing a bomb around. So there you have it.

The Smiths is one of the best bands ever. Certainly in my top 10.
by Jamie on 12/1/2008 6:57pm
It is most definitely 'the bomb.' Only simple minds would think otherwise.
by Cbo on 12/16/2008 5:18pm
The RBF cover of this is awesome as well.
by jess on 12/16/2008 5:35pm
bomb!
lyrics in the cd sleeve says bomb!
by Noa on 12/22/2008 10:57am
that's brilliant song! and it's the word "the bomb" Moz written it's especially for all the folish lover that what ever happend it's death that will bring us together :-)
Morrissey ruls!!!
by Chris on 12/23/2008 9:28am
I know, not to mention "it's the bond that will bring us together" doesn't make any sense. That's what a bond is, being together, that's like saying being together will bring us together.

By the way the CD sleeve says "bomb".
by breeeey : ) on 1/10/2009 11:42am
the smiths rock my socks!
by Juan Carlos de Chile on 1/12/2009 8:30pm
...Bombs rocks !!!! ^_^
by nissa nissa on 3/7/2009 11:27pm
dopest song ever :)
by Sian on 3/24/2009 2:39pm
It's "the bomb" and it does make sense. It's Morrissey dabbling in international politics. If it's not love, then it's the fact that we all have enough nukes to wipe out the world that will stop us from obliterating each other! You know what he's like... :P
by humberto on 4/30/2009 6:53pm
such a great song...
:-)

The Bomb!
by Nate dawg on 5/4/2009 11:45am
this song is the dumbest song ive ever heard in my life!!!! wow it made me feel dumber just listening to it all you have to be like retarded or something to actually wanting to listen to this music if you have any problems with what i said call me 618-420-4999
by Eh eh eh on 5/27/2009 8:54am
You're not trying to get people to call someone, are you?
by saras on 7/8/2009 12:10pm
i love this
by Christopher on 8/21/2009 8:21am
Amo esta cancion
by Kathrine on 11/29/2009 12:16pm
I just love this song and have been since 1994/95
by Nick Milnes on 12/5/2009 7:42pm
Wasn't written at the HEIGHT of the cold war loppy loo. That was the 60s
by silvy on 12/28/2009 4:14pm
I love this song!! its so sweet!
by Kazuya on 5/28/2010 2:24pm
the song of my life
by Radical on 5/29/2010 10:25pm
Instead bomb is in cd sleeve, I always heard bound (which sounds to make sense, like boundary that brings us together). But bond....I just don't think so.
by Mark on 6/2/2010 6:26am
I thought the buck toothed bit was "Writing frightening verse
To a 'buxom' girl in Luxembourg" sounds better to me.
by kellylaluna on 7/29/2010 8:57pm
I think this is the happiest Smith's song, and it is my favorite song EVER, I decided today. The official video is wretched, though, seriously!
by Al on 8/30/2010 10:07am
Clearly "the bond" -- not "bomb"
by Smithy on 10/14/2010 1:25am
Actually it sounds like its the 'Bong' that will bring us together.
by on 11/9/2010 9:07pm
my vote is for bong. it's all too true :]
by Re on 1/13/2011 2:42pm
I believe it to mean exactly what it says...if it isn't Love that will bring us together, surely a bomb will. Love and tragedy ties us all. -One Love-
by on 6/5/2011 5:40am
Bong.
by daniel on 7/10/2011 11:38am
Bond would make some sense, BUT IT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS!!
by george on 9/27/2011 3:44pm
I dont understand the significance of bomb but if you see the digital video it will clearly show that it is bomb
by Audrey on 11/13/2011 2:13am
It's "the bomb", I know that for a fact. But "the bong will bring us together" is all too true.
by bertrannnd on 5/4/2012 10:29pm
Cette chanson dechire le slip!
by Oby on 8/21/2012 5:15am
It is Bomb. Period.
by Santasanta on 8/25/2012 1:45pm
Me fascina esta canción!¡¡ Me levanta la vida. Y creo que definitivamente, dice "The Bomb". Y en el video hace alusión a ella, la bomba. Mozz te amamos!¡¡
by elka maxwell on 11/2/2012 8:24am
Amazing lyrics....
by Jackas on 1/7/2013 5:44pm
This song is the bomb, haha get it
by Mai on 2/8/2013 2:46pm
Definately 'Bomb' not bond. I thought it was 'bond' at first too.
by joi on 9/30/2013 7:49am
I thought he was saying "It's the bum that will bring us together." Haha!
by narela garay on 12/23/2014 12:32pm
hack de facebook
by Allison Berger on 2/26/2020 7:20pm
You’re all wrong. It’s the BUM that will bring us together😂😂😂
by Joe on 8/17/2021 9:27am
It's definitely "the bomb". Morrissey is known for his humorous lyrics, this was written during cold war era when 'the bomb' was absolutely one of the main talking points. However knowing Morrissey's humour I absolutely think its intended to be misheard as "bum". Morrissey's rumoured bisexuality had been heaving scrutinised, and he was never one to shy away from answering his critics. If you think about the lyrics "if there's something you'd like to try, ask me I won't say no, how could I" coupled with "if it's not love, then it's the bum that will bring us together".. you can see what hes getting at. While the lyric is absolutely "bomb", it's clearly also meant to be saying that he wanted to experiment with guys without falling in love
