"Get the Message" was the second single from their 1991 debut album, Electronic, and was a commercial success around the world. It is an example of Marr and Sumner's original concept of mixing the synthesizers of New Order with the Smiths' guitar sound. Composition Marr composed the music then Sumner wrote the lyric as engineer Owen Morris played him the song every four bars. Marr was reluctant to layer multiple guitar parts as he was wary of treading ground, but Sumner convinced him otherwise. During recording, Primal Scream vocalist Denise Johnson added a vocal at the end of the song. She went on to provide additional vocals on a number of songs on Electronic's second album Raise the Pressure five years later. Lyric: I've always thought of you as my brick wall Built like an angel, six feet tall Six feet tall And when you go away, I start to weep You're too expensive girl to keep Isn't it sweet? I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights of living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been Take my independent point of view I've loosened my wallet, thanks to you Don't do me any favors Hark, the herald angels sting Please repair my broken wing Why won't you look at me? I live and breathe I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights of living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights of living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been We can make it all the time To live or die We can make it all the time To live or die Living on peanuts Ain't my scene A shame that word Rhymes with mean
