Johnny Marr - Down On The Corner Lyrics






You run around
On the rebound
Everyone says you're going all the way down
Out of your mind
All of the time
Stare at the wall
She's got it all now
What's goin' on?
Time slips away
You got it all wrong
I saw her today and that's all
Get up off the ground
Back on your feet
It's easily done
She didn't mean to hurt no one
Walk on down that street where we need you
Down on the corner
Where there's nothing to do
You've got to believe
Take it from me
But don't take too long
You're never gonna go wrong
Get up off the ground
Back on your feet
It's easily done
She didn't mean to hurt no one
You can walk right back where you started
Friends moved on, it's all gone wrong
Walk on down that street where we need you
Down on the corner
Where there's nothing to do
Get what you need when you're feelin' bad
Step back and see
It ain't really too bad
You can walk right back where you started
Friends move on, it's all gone wrong
Walk on down that street where we need you
Down on the corner
Where there's nothing to do
Take it from me
See to believe
Don't take too long
Do it, right
See to believe
Take it from me
Don't take too long
Do it, right

    A great great song from a great album.

  26. D.... L....

    please XOXOX

  27. a.... a....

    Fantastic song, one of my biggest favourites of Marr's music.

  28. M.... B....

    This song always cheers me the fuck up!

  29. d.... ....

    Great riff !!

  30. j.... M....

    sounds very charlatans ( this is the edited bit. Now having looked at the comments, I see I'm not the only one 😂, not saying sounding like the Charlie's is a bad thing, just an observation. And I'm , very much, playing catch up on all things "Johnny Marr" due to my ??? "technical difficulties!"

    j.... M....

    Imagine that Johnny was an influence on the Charlatans, not vice versa

  31. N.... R....

    Was given Johnny's fascinating autobiography & have started checking out his more recent work - a beautifully melancholic song - love it ;)

  32. K.... 1....

    Just When You're Thinking Things Over!!

  33. J.... H....

    Makes me think about Inoran (won't leave my mind) jrock artist

  34. W.... M....

    Happy birthday Johnny.. Love and respect from Glasgow!!!

  35. l.... ....

    wasn't a huge Smiths fan..luv Johnny,Mozz, nah

  36. M.... K....

    Sounds similar to the charlatans. It's great!

    M.... K....

    Mike Kinsella I was thinking that, even the voice a bit

  37. B.... K....

    great melody- johnny fucking Marrs has always and still is a musical genius

  38. t.... ....

    Mr Johnny Marr..............Genius

  39. T.... S....

    I just missed being like 666 by one.

  40. J.... ....

    Beautiful song, beautiful you Johnny ...

  41. K.... H....

    This song is perfect. Love you so much Johnny!

  42. c.... t....

    Munchy xxxx

  43. S.... ....

    Literally listen to this song at least once a day, one amazing song.

  44. M.... P....

    Superb tune!

  45. C.... ....

    I really really really hate the Smiths. But the more research I do, the more I realise that maybe I don't hate the Smiths, I just really fucking hate Morrissey. Because Johnny is cool AF and makes some pretty good tunes.

    C.... ....

    Regardless of what you think of Morrissey, one thing is assured; his songwriting was and is startlingly original. There is nothing like it. Not then and not now. This - and because of JM's guitar work - is the reason the Smith's music will stand the test of time. Wesslyn, may have many personal attributes, 'judgement' is not one of them. I think you'd have to deaf - and or stupid - not to appreciate the originality and beauty of a song like 'Asleep'.

    C.... ....

    All them song writers adore moz ya thick as shit cunt 😂

    C.... ....

    Morrissey is negative and cynical and worse, he doesn't show up for some of his concerts, so your critique of Morrissey, the smiths and Johnny Marr are pretty accurate

    C.... ....

    So has Morrissey. They're both brilliant.

    C.... ....

    exactly hahaha... but i like morrisey band live, i just can´t stand the puff

  46. d.... ....

    Great song - needs more airplay ...

  47. E.... P....

    Love Johnny Marr, and Morrissey.  I'm sure they still love each other.  In Morrissey's autobiography there was no vitriol for Johnny.

    E.... P....

    @Emma Picara There was some contempt, though. Morrissey figured Marr was too eager to please everyone.


    Morrissey's problem is that he's not eager enough to please everyone - so he won't even listen to critics, for instance. And that's why Morrissey hasn't learnt anything in the past decades where Marr has.

  48. E.... P....

    King of Manchester

  49. M.... B....

    Great song!

  50. A.... G....

    I wonder why those 4 people dislike it. 

    A.... G....

    Probably Morrissey.... four times.

  51. t.... ....

    Yep. He'Cool!

  52. J.... p....

    Why was this dubbed with the album instead of the live take?

    Anyway, GREAT show in Anaheim, even though you didn't play anything of the über-brilliant Boomslang! Thanks for all the great music! :D

    J.... p....

    That's how music videos are done. They act as if they are performing the song and then dub in the studio recorded version over the video.

  53. c.... j....

    reminds me of richard ashcroft this one

  54. W.... W....

    Marr can do both, Morrissey can't

    W.... W....

    Morrissey's definitely done both in the past. It's all in those raunchy lyrics.

  55. M.... B....

    So right on. Love this track and video.

  56. J.... M....

    Johnny is totally lovely! he's the best guitarist i've ever heard, I love him.

  57. P.... S....

    Absolutely beautiful xx

  58. T.... G....

    why can't i buy this song or album on itunes???!!!

    T.... G....

    I`ve got it...

  59. V.... R....

    Seria maravilhoso ver um show do The Smiths, uma pena que eles nunca vieram ao Brasil, um sonho que nunca acontecerá.

  60. F.... O....

    são lindas suas cançôes

  61. R.... D....

    Great show in Portland. Thank you Johnnny. Johnny is also an inspiration to my 19 yr old son, also a runner, teetotaler, and a rocker too. Check out his video "Medium Size Kids" "Forgetting Goodbye" video.

  62. B.... ....

    You'd be nothing without me.

  63. m.... c....

    what about 10cc? Barclay james harvest? Hermans hermits? The Hollies etc etc etc, WERE THEY JOHNNY MARRS LEGACY
    you are a too fucking young and stupid to know anything!!!!!

  64. M.... ....

    This guy is incredible

  65. O.... ....

    how can he be copying the charlatans when he influenced them in the first place?? madchester sound is very much marr's legacy, so your claim is downright silly.

  66. G.... G....

    This is my fave of his new songs. Why didnt it end up on the album!!!

  67. R.... M....

    It's copying the byrds anyway

    R.... M....

    not copying, maybe influenced somewhat.

  68. m.... ....

    my fav song ov the moment, cant stop playin it .....took me years to shake the morrisey thing...glad i took the time to listen to Johnny....nice 1.....magic...not a silly flower in sight...

  69. M.... K....

    Thanks for the insight :). My musical ear is not the greatest, but I heard a touch of wonderall. What are your takes on trying to create original music?

  70. T.... J....

    the rhythm is similar but the chord progression is completely different.

  71. J.... G....

    Have you ever heard about Joe Satriani?

  72. K.... ....

    fucking awesome

  73. d.... l....

    outstanding,very cool...but then again jonny marr just oozes cool. fuckin top,love it.

  74. M.... K....

    Does anyone else slightly similar chord progression to wonderwall? Not having a go by the way, it's extremely hard to create original content without it sounding even a touch like any other song. Noel probably nicked wonderwall chord progression from Johnny somehow anyway haha.

  75. j.... s....

    to me, this charming man invented the last original british sound.

  76. c.... k....

    LOVE THIS ;)

  77. p.... ....

    It's so old school. That's what's makes it so good . Tell me if your foot is not tapping. All this shit with Charlatans, who came first, does it matter? Move on and move up. This will last, Eminem and all that shit, where in the bigger picture are they???? Hopefully lost forever!!

  78. p.... ....

    Who the fuck is Ian Browny???

  79. m.... c....

    copying the Charlatans.... check 'em out if you are an american. or other non Brit ( or really young )
    Vocally good, but he's found a vocal sound from the Manchester area that suits his voice , so I don't blame him , it's all been done around '91... even Ian Browny / Stone Roses

  80. G.... M....

    1st time ive heard this tune, top melodies and guitar playing as always by Mr Marr !

  81. m.... ....

    Johnny at his best. Class.

  82. e.... ....

    like it very much

  83. N.... W....

    Gorgeous.

  84. E.... D....

    Good stuff but sounds alot like Noel. Would love to see the two collaborate on a larger level.

  85. A.... B....

    god, I've missed that gitarsound!

  86. O.... R....

    Cant wait to see him in March :3

  87. r.... ....

    Will always like the bright happy feel of Johnny's music, now the voice to match : P

  88. M.... S....

    Yeah and vice versa

  89. l.... ....

    are there any guys like this around salford because i keep looking but no lol

  90. c.... ....

    @adameater Amen. I've almost fought wars over this very statement.

  91. I.... ....

    Wicked!!!

  92. M.... Y....

    omg i didn't know johnny marr could sing so well!!

  93. A.... ....

    Morrissey would have been nothing without you.

  94. s.... ....

    I love this song!

  95. L.... K....

    QUALITY! best guitar player in the world, ive even picked one up because you, get stuck on every chord though.

  96. M.... G....

    Excelent!

  97. C.... ....

    Nice one Johnny.

    What about selling me a guitar, your 1960 Les Paul Special ?
