Favourite lyrics

[echobay]

What is your all time favourite Morrissey lyric ?

I tried to pinpoint a favourite and came up with about 25.

Some of my faves are "And now I am walking through Rome
and there is no room to move
but the heart feels free."


"Now my heart is full, and I just can't explain it, so I won't even try to."

"This world, I am afraid is designed for crashing bores. I am not one. I am not one"

"Hair brushed and parted. typical me, typical me, typical me."

[Uncleskinny]

This thread is going to run and run.

My favourite, from I Am Hated For Loving..."I am mine".

Peter

[echobay]

Ooooh I like that one too,

"I still don't belong to anyone. I am mine"


Perfect :)

[the beast]

spineless swines, cemented minds.

[DeanIsNotDead]

Just too many to mention ;)

For me, it is very mood-dependant, but now maybe these lines from November Spawned a Monster:

'Sleep on and dream of love
Because it's the closest you will
Get to love'

[sol]

IT'S WAR, ...,.....,. Oh, let me in Ah, the closer I get

We hate it when our friends become successful And if they're SouthernThat makes it even worse and If we could destroy them
:)

[Scarlet1987]

Fab Thread!!

''and when im lying in my bed, i think about life and i think about death. and neither one, particularly appeals to me''

''this world is full of crashing bores''

''run young man through the glenn, run young woman through the glenn''

''as the flames rose, to her roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt''

''I dreamt about you last night, and i fell out of bed twice''

''november spawned a monster''

''and you my invalid friend''

''your boyfriend he, got down on one knee. well could it be, he's only got one knee''

[Sister Rose]

"November Spawned A monster"


Sleep on and dream of Love
because it's the closest you will get to love
poor twisted child
so ugly, so ugly
poor twisted child
oh hug me, oh hug me
one November
spawned a monster
in the shape of this child
who later cried
"But Jesus made me, so
Jesus save me from
pity, sympathy
and people discussing me
a frame of useless limbs
what can make GOOD
all the BAD that's been done?
And if the lights were out
could you even bear
to kiss her full on the mouth
(or anywhere?)
poor twisted child
so ugly, so ugly
poor twisted child
oh hug me, oh hug me
one November
spawned a monster
in the shape of this child
who must remain
a hostage to kindess
and the wheels underneath her
a hostage to kindess
and the wheels underneath her
a symbol of where mad, mad lovers
must PAUSE and draw the line
So sleep and dream of love
because it's the closest
you will get to love
that November
is a time
which I must
put OUT of my mind
oh one fine day
LET IT BE SOON
she won't be rich or beautiful
but she'll be walking your streets
in the clothes that she went out
and chose for herself

[the beast]

England for the english

[Emotional Guide Dog]

You would think that most people would find it tough to find a particular line to call 'favourite' yet we all seem to be managing.

Anyway, from Have A Go Merchant:

Small girl runs crying through the park,
So freely her daddy berates her,
And now, so for the rest of he life
She is convinced that her daddy hates her.

With an honourable mention to:

To me you are a work of art & I would give you my heart. That's if I had one.

[Franzanna]

'She said, "he never even looks at me,
I give him every opportunity."
In the room downstairs, he sat and stared,
In the room downstairs, he sat and stared.
I'll never make that mistake again!'

'I need advice, I need advice,
Because nobody ever looks at me twice.'

'So this is why I tell you,
I really don't understand this time.
Rejection is one thing, but rejection from a fool is cruel!'

'Well, she lives for the written word,
And people come second or possibly third.'

[Raised on prisoner's aid]

"Skirt ascends for a watching eye, it's a hideous trait, on her mother's side"

"Sir thwacks you on the knees
Knees you in the groin
Elbow in the face
Bruises bigger than dinner plates"

[teeth]

But there was a time
When the kids reached up
And Papa Jack just
Pushed them away

~~~~~~~~~~

I will be at the bar
With My Head On The Bar....

~~~~~~~~~~


Your Leg Came To Rest Against Mine
On The Discolored Dark Brown Staircase
We Knew.....

~~~~~~~~~~

All the lazy dykes
One sweet day, Join The Girls....:)

~~~~~~~~~~

So Many More!!!!!

[Ready With Ready-Wit]

Easy.

I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."

[Mozzaa]

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does


There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen now,
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone




Irish Blood English Heart, This' What I'm Made Of.......


And all those lies
Written lies, twisted lies
Well, they weren't lies
They weren't lies
They weren't lies




Don't rake up my mistakes
I know exactly what they are
And ... what do YOU do ?
Well ... you just SIT THERE
I've been stabbed in the back
So many many times
I don't have any skin






i'm abit pissed so i've copied and pasted these....(no thats me not Moz :P)

[fortbethel]

'There was a time when the kids reached out but Papa Jack just pushed them away' BRILLIANT FREAKIN BRILL! *EYEROLL!!*

[mauve21]

" My love is a sharp as a needle in your eye;
You must be such a fool
to pass me by........ "

I absolutely love that line. I think I cried the first time
I heard it.........
It stills gets to me. Morrissey has such a wonderful way of
expressing these heart wrenched emotions.

[teeth]

'There was a time when the kids reached out but Papa Jack just pushed them away' BRILLIANT FREAKIN BRILL! *EYEROLL!!*

So glad You Agree!!!!!!!!! :):)

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care, But don't stare
Because he's still there
Lamenting policewomen policemen silly women taxmen
Uniformed whores, They who wish to hurt you, Work within the law

[Walkers Crisp]

Yes, I am blind
But I do see
Evil people prosper
Over the likes of you and me
ALWAYS

[DeanIsNotDead]

The thing is that I carry my favourite lyrics with me all the time. Hand written. They're in my jacket, in the pocket over my heart.

[j funk]

The strange logic in your clumsiest line...

The good life is out there somewhere, so stay on my arm your little charmer...

[someofusisturningnasty]

A sad fact widely known
The most impassionate song
To a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But don't forget the songs
That made you smile
And the songs that made you cry
When you lay in awe
On the bedroom floor
And said : "Oh, oh, smother me Mother..."

And the whole of Please, Please, Please

And the first time I heard "I have forgiven you Jesus for all of the love you placed in me when there's no-one I can turn to with this love" I can't describe my reaction, it's just such a perfect identifiable line

"in my own sick way
i'll always stay true to you" :tears:

ahhh there are just so many

very good scarlet:guitar:

[sistasheila]

And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day


to the point
there is so many more so cant really go down to one but this ^matches perfectly

i agree also to this

And the first time I heard "I have forgiven you Jesus for all of the love you placed in me when there's no-one I can turn to with this love" I can't describe my reaction, it's just such a perfect identifiable line
and


If you're wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
I'll tell you why
You just haven't earned it yet, baby

[Voodoo Doll]

Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it... faced with the music as always I'll face it...

When you're dancing & laughing and finally living, hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly

I am a ghost and as far as I know, I havent even died

Little lamb on a hill, run fast if you can, all the christians they wanna kill you and your life has not even begun

All of meat is murder and there is a light and oh I could go on.............

I almost forgot - Peel it back and BITE me!

[Suedebread]

Having recently acquired Oh Phoney, I love it, a jaunty little tune, and Moz sounds great on it.

The lyric that tickles me is "Who can make Hitler, look like a bus conductor, you do..."

The way he sings it as well is :bow:

[NommaG]

when you find that you've organized
your feelings, for people
who didn't like you then
and certainly don't like you now

[Morrisseyfan08]

It is so hard to choose as I love so many but I think these are my favourite..

Well I wonder
Do you see me when we pass ?
I half die ...
Why ...


Please keep me in mind
Please keep me in mind

[Sherry]

..She has now gone from this unhappy planet with all the carnivores and the destructors on it

[Robert Neville]

And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters

[courtney]

I think about life and I think about death and neither one paticularly appeals to me.


If you're wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
I'll tell you why
You just haven't earned it yet, baby


America, It brought you the hamburger
Well America you know where you can shove your hamburger
And don't you wonder, Why in Estonia they say, Hey you, Big fat pig
You fat pig, You fat pig


What really lies beyond the constraints of my mind
Could it be the sea, with fate moving back at me
No, it's just more lock-jaw popstars
Thicker than pig shit, nothing to convey
They're so scared to show intelligence, it might smear their lovely career
This world, I am afraid is designed for crashing bores


And the most obvious:
I am the son, I am the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar


There are so many more, but this is getting lengthy.

[AHappyRocket]

These things take time....and I know that I'm....the most inept that ever stepped.....

[biru]

I suppose "all your friends and your foes would rather die than have to touch you"... hmmm..

[Deego]

You are too brave
And I'm ashamed of myself
As usual

[Geysir]

I love this thread.

For me:

"There is a light that never goes out"

[ryan]

Everything of worth
on earth
is there to share
I used to dream and I used to vow
I wouldn't dream of it now


...the closer I get,
You're asking for it...


What makes most people feel happy
leads us headlong into harm


This is the last song I will ever sing,
no, I've changed my mind again
Goodnight & thank you

[jdbabz]

"share some greased tea with me" What a wonderful invitation.

One line that I repeat continuously as a mantra in my own life and I try to live by

"it takes strength to be gentle and kind"
