Do you consider Morrissey to be the greatest lyricist of all time?

7. Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits - nah. Funny, but meaningless. (Speaking of which, that one's mediocre, too.)
6. All My Little Words - Excellent
5. Promises Of Eternity - Good, but not great
4. Busby Berkely Dreams - sublime. One of the best on the album
3. A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off - too cute for its own good
2. Papa Was A Rodeo - no. This is one of the cutesy ones that rub me the wrong way.
1.


- This one is absolutely perfect

I'll add "Come Back from San Francisco," "When My Boy Walks Down the Street," "I Don't Believe in the Sun," "No One Will Ever Love You," "The One You Really Love," and "The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure." That one has some corny lines, but they work, for whatever reason.

Definitely,he's one of,but for me he'll always be the best.
 
Morrissey is certainly one of the best- despite his recent drop-off, there's no taking away what he accomplished for the better part of 30 years (and there's still the odd gem).
