PANIC Lyrics

Artist: The Smiths
Album: BEST...1

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?
The Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmere
But Honey Pie, you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play

On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
Provincial towns you jog 'round
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
HANG THE DJ, HANG THE DJ
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ
HANG THE DJ

by Jimmy/ on 7/25/2008 10:25pm So it's telling us we should hang Steve Wright, burn him down then pee on him? :D This would be one of my favourite Smiths songs, behind 'There is a light that never goes out' and 'The last of the famous international playboys.'
by PTrd on 7/28/2008 12:05am Ha ha ha! What great website. I agree, hang him, piss on him, then throw coins at his eyes.
by dphunq on 8/12/2008 6:33am I think this song has something to do with The Hacienda and the first time a crowd cheered a dj there, it was like the first rave party ever, theirs a movie 24 hour party people
by Templar_Of_Bytecode on 8/17/2008 1:59pm Yeah, that's the right way to stop the anoying stuff playing guys!

by Roy on 11/17/2008 4:18pm It says nothing to me about my life. Indeed.
by john11f on 12/2/2008 1:48am a song of angst. a sign of the times. completely irrelevant to me but i appreciate the way they make music and how it reflects the lives the musicians lived at that time.
by dynn on 12/6/2008 7:06am this is where panic at the disco got their name right?
by popupp on 12/18/2008 4:06am I LOVE the SMITHS. hang the dj hang the dj hand the dj. i also love the song "stop me if you think you've heard this one before" i played that about 20 times today.
by Maxwell on 12/20/2008 6:10pm He's a witch!
by hayley on 12/31/2008 8:52am no it isn't the song panic at the disco got their name from. they thought about the name "burn down the disco". but then they settled on "panic at the disco". a line from the song "panic" by name taken.
by SteveScreamo on 1/15/2009 10:10am This isnt the song Panic at the Disco got their name from, Panic at the Disco S*cks ass!!! Morrissey your still the best!
by Franko on 1/16/2009 4:50pm I'm 47 and was there in the 80's digging The Smiths at that time. They still hold up after all these years....chao!
by Mr Smith on 1/20/2009 5:28am I think we should hang the DJ.
by Timm Slybo on 2/2/2009 5:48am This song is actually about Margaret Thatcher's tory britain. Thr DJ is the PM (thatcher) and the disco is the (political) Party, the tory party

by flor on 7/19/2009 1:47am HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG THE DJ!
by nora on 7/24/2009 4:34pm Love This song!!
by sam on 8/23/2009 2:03pm there are statements (even from the smiths) that this song was composed after steve wrights announcement of chernobyl catastrophy and following up with a WHAM song. However this might only be one interpretion since the text can clearly be understood as hanging the DJ (queen) and burn down the disco (Buckingham palace). This is supported by the style of the video (flames in front of B. palace and royal crown). Also Thatcherism is criticized by showing graffity concerning LDDC. As this is the single following up the "queen is dead" album and the public discussion of it afterwards - the Steve Wright incident might have come handy as an excuse.
