My Favorite Morrissey Line...

[zom]

"I know you love one person so why cant you love two?"

I dont know if it the phrasing of the song performed but this line never came together for me until I was listening to the bootleg of Hammersmith 1991(?). It absolutely kills me.

[humdrum town]

"I wanna go home, I dont want to stay"

i find myself sharing this sentiment most monday morning's at work.

 

[Young And Alive]

"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."

 

[chica]

"Please, put your tongue away!" So Mozz

 

[Uncleskinny]

"Don't rake up my mistakes - I know exactly what they are"

Peter

 

[Young And Alive]

"Don't rake up my mistakes - I know exactly what they are"

Peter

Oh, yes!

"I've been stabbed in the back so many, many times/ I don't have any skin, but that's just the way it goes."

 

[zom]

"I should be dead, but here I am in Detroit!"

Ok, not from a song but from my one and only live show, Detroit '04, it was his intro line.

[Summal]

"4 A.M. Northside, Clapham Common / Oh, god, what was she doing there?" is actually my all time favourite.

 

[Sunbags]

"4 A.M. Northside, Clapham Common / Oh, god, what was she doing there?" is actually my all time favourite.

What was that from?

 

[Summal]

The absolutely stunning Mute Witness.

 

[lucky lisp]

Iam now a central part of your minds landscape whether you care or do not

 

[Math Tinder]

With no reason to hide these words I feel
And no reason to talk about the books I read
But still
I do.

xo, math+

One of my recent favourites was "Say, would you let me cry on your shoulder/I've heard that you'll try anything twice".

I was about to post the same one! I think it is funniest line on the album.

It manages to encapsulate all the things I love about Moz: A bitter poignancy, razor-sharp wit and an effortless musicality welded onto a not very musical sentence.

I jsut watched a clip on youtube where Noel Gallagher says Morrissey is the most literate man to write lyrics. Great quote, in a nutshell you know?

[Seasick]

"Older, wiser never applies to me". Nice to know someone else feels the same way I do.

 

[Mild_Best_Wishes]

"Rejection is one thing but rejection from a fool is cruel"

 

[morrissey02]

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

 

[Vauxhall95]

"It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind."

In my early twenties, the words really made me stop and think of the kind of world I wanted to live in, and how I treat those around me...
