Morrissey Vs. The Smiths

[Your Arsenal]

Two epics:
I know its over and Life is a pigsty.
Both are equally beautiful and poetic.

But which wins your heart?

 

[Christine]

I know it's over
easy choice for me

 

[Jared]

thats a stupid question

 

[mike joyce]

i know its over by miles


stupid thread

 

[morrissey02]

Too much i can't really choose one!

 

[mozmal]

No contest! I know it's Over by a long distance. Cheers

 

[Dothatagain?]

Easy - "I Know It's Over". Lyrically it's possibly the most brilliant thing Moz has ever done.

 

[mspendl828]

Pigsty, by miiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllleeeeeeesssssss.

 

[sonof77]

This should be a landslide, although someone no doubt prefers "Pigsty" It's a matter of taste.

 

[Bluebirds]

Both are equally beautiful and poetic.

How does a chorus that repeats itself over and over class itself as poetic? unless of course you're on about metronomes and stuff like that.

"you can shoot me or throw me off a train
But I still maintain, I still maintain" or
----------------------------------------


"With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each others arms..."

 

[sonof77]

My life repeats itself over and over again and I have to say it remains poetic.

 

[Worm]

Right noise
We're gonna get real speedy
We're gonna wear black all the time
You're gonna make it on your own
Cos we dig
Cos we dig
We dig
We dig repetition
We dig repetition
We dig repetition in the music
And we're never going to
lose it.

All you daughters and sons who are sick of
fancy music
We dig repetition
Repetition in the drums
And we're never going to lose it.
This is the three R's
The three R's: Repetition, Repetition, Repetition

Oh mental hospitals
Oh mental hospitals
They put electrodes in your brain
And you're never the same
You don't dig repetition
You don't love repetition
Repetition in the music
And we're never going to loose it

President Carter loves repetition
Chairman Mao he dug repetition
Repetition in China
Repetition in America
Repetition in West Germany
Simultaneous suicide
We dig it, we dig it,we dig it, we dig it
Repetition, repetition, repetition
There is no hesitation
This is your situation
Continue a blank generation
Blank generation

Same old blank generation
Grooving blank generation
Swinging blank generation

Repetition, repetition, repetition....
