I'm bad with spoilers myself. I tried to avoid all spoilers for the next season of the TV show Lost, but it eats me up inside all day and I must check the spoiler site at least once a day. I have problem..lol

[Frankly Vulgar]

thank you for posting this.

unfortunately I find these lyrics very plain and weak, perhaps on level with Ringleaders. alas..

Exactly my thoughts
Hope it's better musically

regrettably, my thoughts too. where'd the humour/subtlety/light touch go?

[bored]

I think I am getting this whole Morrissey fan thing wrong.

If most fans like something, I tend not to and vice versa (although Tony the Pony has been getting a lot of well deserved love around here lately).

I liked the lyrics. Really dark. The reviews on the music all point towards something loud and raucus. I'm pretty excited about this record.

[David]

I too thought the lyrics on Ringleader were forgettable. But I think these are of a significantly higher caliber -- more artful, more expressive, more pathos. I have high expectations for Years.

I'm so surprised you don't like them!

When Last I Spoke To Carol

When last I spoke To Carol I said:
'I can't pretend it gets any easier.'

She said:
'I have hung on, I have edged along this narrow ledge since the day I was born in 1975.'

When last I spoke to Carol I said:
'I can't pretend I feel love for you.'

She said:
'I've hammered a smile upon this pasty face of mine since the day I was born in 1975.'

When I said goodbye to Carol,
Black earth upon the casket fell.
She had faded to
Something I always knew;
To the rescue nobody ever comes.

Yes, that's why I've decided to delete the ones I downloaded! I want to see them, but I want it all to hit me at once!

too bad to be true. It's not even just plain, it's cheesy and embarrassing. "Carol" "I was born in 1975" "When I said good bye to Carol"... ???

[raincoated lover]

I disagree entirely.

"When I said goodbye to Carol,
Black earth upon the casket fell.
She had faded to
Something I always knew;
To the rescue nobody ever comes."

Sheer poetry.

What's cheesy and embarrassing about having been born in 1975? I was born the year before that, hardly my fault now, is it? I'd have come sooner if they'd left the door open... Or is there something else I don't know about 1975?

[Frankly Vulgar]

maybe I'm being too harsh on this one but I still dont like it. Why make a Michael's Bones 2?

[Corrissey]

This is all so very exciting!

Thank you, Anin!

I disagree with this statement too.
Morrissey has built his reputation as a poet, with a distinct style he has carried throughout his career. It could be said that each and every song he has written have mutual undertones.

Was it Bob Dylan who said 'I've written the same song a million times?'
