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 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 skebina on 8/20/2008 7:50pm

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 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 fat whore on 3/18/2009 9:55am

by Hayley on 4/7/2010 7:11am
I've never heard something more relevant to common times! "Burn down the disco, hang the blessed DJ, Because the music that they concstantly play, It says nothing to me about my life". It's just pure and utter genius! It's so realevant to all that tripe everybody listens to now-a-days! Morrissey's a fucking genius!

So appropriate right now. Hang the DJ!
by daver on 8/9/2011 9:59am
I love when a decades old song explains a contemporary moment perfectly. Hang the bankers hang the bankers HANG THE BANKERS!
by G on 8/9/2011 10:07am
so if this song predicted the future (that being now) which DJ is gonna hang?
by Isaac on 8/9/2011 6:18pm
It's all happening right now... will we come to the point to actually hang the DJ (prime minister) and burn down the disco (the establishment) ??
by J on 8/10/2011 2:29am
Hang the bankers! They're such wankers!
by Caro on 8/11/2011 7:29am
Morrissey is just a fucking visionary poet... love him
by Jody on 8/11/2011 11:13am
I think DJ might just stand for "Dow Jones"
by me on 9/5/2011 4:15pm
visionary.....mm
by anonymus!! on 9/20/2011 11:09am

if this song has anything to do with panic! at the disco then every member of this band and should be shot. panic are a million times better than these people who cant write for shit.

Hang him high.. Hang em all high.
by Ballerina on 3/4/2012 6:40pm
Morrisey and the Smiths have been an essential completion during the first steps of my language learning...I used to sing this song and so on to learn to speak more quickly with local people and to grasp at once. After buying a book on Morrisey here directly by the writer-seller... i 've tested his lyrics in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Dublin, Cork. I've missed Leeds, New Castle, Dundee...Anyway that day in London here we are in a pub -two ladies- we met an irish woman and an english man. They came from a close town, they had been married for 6 years and they used to go for shopping in London - local fancy dresses - before to go to the urban AntiChrist..... And then? Panic! Hang the dj!!!
by zombie on 4/10/2012 5:01pm
ballerina, if you used the smiths to learn english, then you are the most awesome person in the world in any language.
by Alan Cameron on 5/25/2012 2:16pm
I think Morrisey is one fucking boring bastard ....but he can't half pen a tune. Johnny Marr on the other hand fucking GENIUS !!!!
by mmmeeee on 5/27/2012 11:42am
i think morrissey is arrogant but he CAN be ;p he's awesome;p so his arrogance is forgiven ;)
by Honey Apple on 10/11/2012 10:57pm
the first time i found this song out, i was learning about 'Jack the Ripper' murders in 1888, in London. this weird person started singing this song when we were learning about 'Jacky'. i found that the song fit the moment very oddly. i got chills when the weirdo stoped singing the song when the teacher gave him a detention. i looked up the song, and found that i liked it, in a scary way.
by throughthelookingglass on 11/7/2012 9:58pm
It's about jimmy savile's national noncing tour
by Martina on 11/8/2012 5:15pm
It makes a lot more sense now that we all know about how VILE Sa-vile was.
by Eloise on 1/16/2013 8:44pm
Yeah, Panic! got their name from this song, so go Smiths and go Panic!
by mrgrizly68 on 1/29/2013 1:51pm
Savile
by Hank on 5/10/2013 7:54am
