The Smiths signed to the independent label Rough Trade Records in 1983 and released their first album, The Smiths, in 1984. They based their songs on the songwriting partnership of Morrissey and Marr. Their focus on a guitar, bass, and drum sound and a fusion of 1960s rock and post-punk was a rejection of the synth-pop sound that was predominant at the time. Several Smiths singles reached the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, and all their studio albums reached the top five of the UK Albums Chart, including the number-one album Meat Is Murder (1985). They achieved mainstream success in Europe with The Queen Is Dead (1986) and Strangeways, Here We Come (1987), both of which entered the top 20 of the European Albums Chart.
Internal tensions led to the Smiths' breakup in 1987, followed by public lawsuits over royalties. Their live album Rank (1988) reached the top 10 in Europe. Since the band's dissolution, the members have refused offers to reunite and have all separately stated that the band is finished and will never reunite.

The Smiths Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
The Smiths’ “You’re The One For Me Fatty” is a love song that was released in 1992. The song presents a theme of unrequited love in which the singer is enamored with someone, but does not believe that the feelings are mutual. The song begins with the singer expressing his love in the first person, conveying that he felt a thrill that was love at first sight. However, the feeling of disbelief at the prospect of the other person feeling the same love is evident throughout the song.
The song’s chorus is a repetition of the phrase “I can't believe that you're in love with me,” an expression of the singer’s surprise that his love's affection is reciprocated. The singer's doubts about the love he's receiving are unveiled in the line, "I just can’t imagine that you love me." This suggests a lack of self-worth and self-esteem and implies that the singer may have had a negative experience in the past, making it difficult for him to believe that someone would genuinely love him.
In conclusion, the song "You're The One For Me Fatty" by The Smiths is about falling hopelessly and irrevocably in love and being surprised that the object of that infatuation returns those feelings. The lyrics express the singer's disbelief that they are loved back and unwillingness to come to terms with this new reality.

In the mid 90’s, my dad borrowed my car and played the cassette. This is what he heard. He sang it for me when he returned the car. It was a bonding moment.
