Here are the lyrics for new song 'Throwing My Arms around Paris', in case anyone is curious -
shame it's not about paris hilton, but it's still a cracker of a song.
---
In the absence of your touch
And in the absence of loved ones
I have decided I’m throwing my arms around all of paris because only stone and steel accept my love
In the absence of your smiling face
I traveled all over the place
and I have decided I’m throwing my arms around all of paris because only stone and steel accept my love
I’m throwing my arms around all of paris because only stone and steel accept my love.

I’m throwing my arms around paris because nobody wants my love
Nobody wants my love
Nobody needs my love
Nobody wants my love
Yes you made yourself plain
Yes you made yourself very plain

        Morrissey has run out of things to write about. He's now becoming an even more predictable parody of himself.

        It seems that he is intent on giving us a pale Geography lesson on each album. The confused man-child roles is no longer endearing.

                I like the lyrics very very much -- but I haven’t heard it yet because I will never never never listen to anything spewed from a computer --- anymore. Actually I haven’t downloaded any music or listened to any music from computers since 1826. I mean every time I have attempted it, my computers have crashed, burned, and would spew back to me nothing but what could be construed as vomit combined with foreign languages combined with delusional spies combined with wrong numbers from the telephone.

                But on a more positive cheerful note, I like to read the lyrics and I especially like this Paris song -- because because it is very very deep and it is very very well written. I mean I believe that my life keeps going around in cycles -- like it doesn’t matter where I go, i.e. when I was a kid at home with my family, when I went aways to sleep away camps, when I went to colleges, jobs after colleges, lawsuits, different places that I’ve lived etc., -- it doesn’t matter where I am or was -- the people’s names change, the locations change, etc. but it’s like the same basic theme. The people change, the houses change, and so on but I am still stuck being me and the circumstances usually end up resulting the same. Sometimes I think my situations have changed but then time throws itself in and it’s like Reality Check --- Nope -- you’re right back where you were - maybe. So when people analyze Morrissey’s lyrics and say they are redundant songs - well that’s because that’s the way his life is for a vast big part of it. I mean the only good things and I am happy about them are that his voice has gotten increasingly and constantly better as he has gotten older and that he has surpassed Johnny, Mike Gross, and Andy and that his writing has become even more of a genius than even I ever could have imagined. If you read the words carefully to Paris I think he is expressing his feelings, thoughts and scenarios regarding someone who was and probably still is very very meaningful to him. When he utilizes the word plain, I think he means that they just turned out -- to be no longer unique like he thought they were - but they just like ended up to be bad like everybody else.

                I can’t wait until I could buy Paris in the record stores as I could tell from the lyrics I am going to love it. In the meantime, I know a lot of people rip Paris Hilton to shreds, but I actually like her somewhat - maybe. She’s not like that stupid stupid Britney Spears or that Christina Ugly--airr--a.

                And so it is written, and so it shall be done.

                There

                  I just like sitting back with my whisky & soda and listen to and admire Morrissey crooning away. The painful teenage years are way behind me and I am now reaching a comfortable middle-age.
                  My ideal afternoon is a spot of Morrissey, lots of tea, a good book or maybe a newspaper.
                  Morrissey makes my life happy. I can pick any of his albums, any track and just sit and enjoy.
                  Morrissey is my comfort.

                      More seriously, I like that song better than the 2 other ones, it is a cute song. I adore the clarinet part.
                        The lyrics are fantastically "original"-as what Moz has recently created-.So, please, dear Mozzie, yes, could you search in your brain to find something new? Thank you. Could you stop playing the lonely wolf? That does not work anymore.

                        Nice couplet.
                        I agree that the theme of lonliness is getting a little worn, but Morrissey writes from the heart and the heart seems to be rather lonely these days. I think he loved and lost again quite recently, or he's just reminiscing more as time marches onwards.
                        No matter, if his voice is still sounding great and there's a good tune behind it, I'm sure I'll love it.
