Alma matters

[j]

Is Morrissey really singing „in body and soul, part and in HOLE“, rather than „in whole“?? And if so, what does it mean?

You're a total idiot. I guess that is all you type of people can worry about is the same question.

GET A ^^%^%^%^&%&( LIFE.

Y'know, it amuses me how individuals who decide to post such crude and witless remarks as the one above, do so under a never-before-seen pseudonym. m.y.m., what name do you use when you decide to type a "serious" post? Gimme a break.

hmmm... i think the whole changing of alma mater to alma matters is part of it, but i can't excactly pin his intentions... it could be a play w/ words, but then again it could something really profound...
i dunno.. anyone?

love aaron.

I love the melody and most of the lyrics to Alma Matters, but I confess I've always thought the play on words is TERRIBLE. And putting a B-Side on called Heir Apparent? Hmph.

Cheers,

i remember i read some part that alma matters is a latin expression that means "affectionate mother". moz himself said that that the song showed "his feminine side", or something like that, what confirms the hypothesis.

this way, i consider the "hole" as darkness, difficulties... so he is a affectionate mother even in the dark or in the difficulties.

Do you think that he is singing a polite thank you to his mother for being such a rock of support and help to him? I mean, she has always there for him.

difficult question... i don't know, if was her mother speaking, why would he sing "someone somewhere"?

i don't know...
