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 ↴
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time
The lyrics to The Smiths' song Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want are about a person who is feeling a sense of desperation and sadness due to the lack of fulfillment in their life. The singer longs for something new and exciting, something to bring them joy and happiness. They feel that they have been let down by the world, and that their past experiences have caused them to lose sight of their dreams and aspirations.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer reflects on the struggles they have faced in their life, and how their once positive outlook has been tainted by disappointment and failure. They suggest that their lack of success has caused them to become bitter and jaded. They plead with the listener to sympathize with their plight and allow them to get what they want. The desperation in the singer's voice is palpable, and it's clear that they are willing to do almost anything to achieve their goals.
The chorus of the song is especially powerful. The singer repeats the phrase "Let me get what I want" multiple times, emphasizing their need for something to change in their life. The repetition of the phrase creates a sense of urgency, as if the singer is pleading with the universe to finally give them a break. The second verse echoes the sentiments expressed in the first verse, and the repetition of the phrase "Lord knows, it would be the first time" underscores the idea that the singer has been so let down in the past that they can't even imagine a world where their dreams come true.
Overall, the song is a poignant commentary on the human condition. The singer's longing for something more is something that is universally relatable, and the desperation and sadness in their voice make the song a powerful emotional statement.

Good times for a change
I'm hopeful that things will improve
See, the luck I've had
I've experienced a lot of misfortune
Can make a good man turn bad
My difficult experiences can make me act in ways that are out of character
So please please please
I'm begging you
Let me, let me, let me
Allow me to
Let me get what I want
Grant me my desires
This time
Now, at this moment
Haven't had a dream in a long time
I haven't been hopeful or ambitious lately
See, the life I've had
My experiences and circumstances
Can make a good man bad
Can cause me to become disillusioned or pessimistic
So for once in my life
Just this one time
Let me get what I want
Allow me to achieve my goals
Lord knows, it would be the first time
I've never had the chance to succeed before
Lord knows, it would be the first time
It would be a new experience for me to finally get what I want
