Yeah.....not sophisticated

Why pamper life's complexities
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ?

Exactly!!! The moment that I heard these lines, I knew that he was no ordinary songwriter. It's not just about the word selection, it's about the sound and the message that is created. Morrissey takes language, both simplistic and complex, and forges it into an arrow and then shoots it straight through your heart. The writer should also remember that most newspaper articles are written at about a third grade level.

Yeah... NO should have been tops. Love this classic:

Every second counts
When I am with you
I think you are a pig
You should be in a zoo

You have
The brightest future
Writing songs on your computer

Please don't let a computer scientist attempt to do a poet's job and we won't ask a wordsmith to dabble in writing software code.

hahahahahahahahah

i used to love New Order, before I got into the Smiths, and now i can't listen to a lot of their stuff. They're just so awful lyrically.

I used to have the "Retro" boxset and in the glossy booklet that came with it, Bernard Sumner says he doesn't/didn't find it difficult to write lyrics for songs. No shit?!

Divorcing lyrics from music is most likely to lose something in the process isn't it? My most recent favourite from Morrissey has great words and a great tune. I don't need the Daily Mirror data unit to tell me what's good and what's not. Just this>


Bastille mausoleum
Stockyard, churchyard
Your mammy's backyard

I don't care when or where
I just care that you're there
And that you will...
