Don't leave it all unsaid

Makes sense!I don’t agree there but I became a fan later and find I’m not looking for some of the things older fans are looking for
I often wonder what makes Morrissey's lyrics excellent and strong...
I think it's the simplicity in his choice of words and also the many layers embedded within. He seems very aware of the many ways in which his lyrics can be interpreted... he knows what he is doing.
For example —
Why can't you bring figs all pulpy and moist?
Roasted in passion and salty in voice?
No longer keeping a secret of your secret place
Thoughts?
That & he mostly writes in the active voice - he puts you in the situation, seeing those things, feeling those feelings. It's one of the most technically difficult things to do in in writing & he makes it look easy.

Dogface in a duplex
boisterous in cloisters
they look at television thinking it’s there window to the world
that’s got to hurt
Ahem..."6 centuries"???Indeed. How come he can still lyrically surprise us after 6 centuries? IANADOAC is a thrilling delight musically and lyrically, moreso as it comes from an artist supposedly creatively dried-up, past it, reviled, despised by anyone except those with a few brain cells...
