Funniest Moz Lyric

[Practising Troublemaker]

"every slag waves me on (secretly wishing me gone well, I will be soon oh - I will be soon)"

These lines are sad in a way but I love the way he uses slag to describe the people

 

[tender hooligan]

My only mistake is im hoping

Say, would you let me cry, On your shoulder
I've heard that you'll will try anything twice

Every day I play a sad game called
In the future when all's well


Just the name of the song My life is an endless succession of people saying goodbye..i know, i know, its not amusing in reality

 

[sonandheir]

"Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)"

"I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means (of slender means)"

"I said Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?"

The entire "Vicar In A Tutu"

"And I got confused - I killed a horse/nun
I CAN'T HELP THE WAY I FEEL"

"Poor old man
He had an "accident" with a three-bar fire
But that's OK
Because he wasn't very happy anyway
Poor woman
Strangled in her very own bed as she read
But that's OK
Because she was old and she would have died anyway
DON'T BLAME"

 

[timelessmelody]

So, I broke into the palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

 

[Telepathic Surgeon]

I myself laugh at the lines in Boy Racer-"He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands, Stood at the urinal" Classic Moz

Genius

 

[cossy]

It is indeed.

"Oh Phoney!" by Morrissey

May this lovely letter
reach its destination
if only
Question one is why do you
pretend that you like me?
Oh Phoney
See how the outside
contradicts what's inside
oooooh ooh

Who can make Hitler
seem like a bus conductor?
You do, oh Phoney you do

You sing a lovely song to a scale
and the words spell out my name
Oh Phoney
but then you kick me down below
cause you know it won't show
how could you?

See how the outside
contradicts what's inside
oooooh ooh

Who can make Hitler
seem like a bus conductor?

you do oh Phoney oh Phoney you do
you do oh Phoney oh Phoney you do
you do oh Phoney oh Phoney you do

It's not a song I would recommend to someone who is new to Morrissey's work. The music and lyrics wouldn't seem out of place on Kill Uncle, but I think it's a charming little song, and it includes a wonderful if unconventional vocal performance from Moz!

Thanks for that

[cossy]

no I cannot steal a pair of jeans
off a clothesline for you
but you...without clothes
oh I could not keep a straight face
me - without clothes?
well a nation turns its back and gags...
I'm packed


Cossy

 

[Amy]

well a nation turns its back and gags...
I'm packed


Cossy

I always thought it was,

"Well a nation turns it back and gags
No pants..."

lol

 

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

Our Frank

"Give us a drink
and make it quick
or else I'm gonna be sick
all over
your frankly vulgar
red pullover
now see how the two colours blend"

Thats the one I'd choose also.

 

[Salad Days]

Our Frank is just full of classicly funny quotable lyrics.

"give it a rest, won't you?
give me a cigarette
God give me patience
just no more conversation"

Favourited because it makes me laugh, and I feel like that so often!

 

[vAndreav]

the whole idea of Striptease with a Difference is funny.. "So have you ever met a bad winner?
"Well how do you do?" "

and "historians note I am finally born....
I once thought that time
accentuates despair
but now I don't actually care
because I am born, born, born
"Look at me now
from difficult child
to spectral hand
to Claude Brasseur
blah, blah, blah, blah..."

 

[Joe Benzon]

I want to live and I want to love
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of

 

[Slightly_Afraid]

I laugh out loud every time I listen to one of the 99/2000 bootlegs and he sings Is It Really So Strange, changing the words to: "I lost my WIG in Newport Pagnell". Silly, but funny

 

[ClintBoon]

Right now for me it's "Who can make Hitler seem like a bus conductor?"

From an underrated song too.

And yours?

what songs that from

 

[Bluebirds]

the whole idea of Striptease with a Difference is funny.. "So have you ever met a bad winner?

and "historians note I am finally born....

but now I don't actually care

"Look at me now

How could I forget that? Just the delivery itself is enough and live...

 

[Please]

"every slag waves me on (secretly wishing me gone well, I will be soon oh - I will be soon)"

These lines are sad in a way but I love the way he uses slag to describe the people

Unless he is saying this line from the point of view of a piece of coal?

 

[David]

A gentle tone of kindness,
Or written words on paper
...Can you write?

 

[9 x Fined]

I've always liked


"He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands, standing at the urinal..."

 

[westendgirl]

"I just might die with a smile on my
face after all"

"But she doesn't even LIKE me!
and I know because she said so
in the room downstairs
she sat and stared
in the room downstairs
she sat and stared"

'cause I have spent my WHOLE LIFE
in RUINS...
because of people who were "nice"

And also the whole version of the Santa Barbara Bowl concert in Sept. 5, 2002 of Hairdresser on Fire. It's brilliant and it makes me laugh the whole time.

These make me chuckle. I know there are others, I just have to think.

 

[Bluebirds]

You chase in the rat-race
And you always feel so hollow
You marry because it's expected of you
And it only makes you feel more lonely
But still you look down on the teenage dad on
On his estate
He's happy so leave him alone
With his baby
And his modest home
He's happy so leave him alone
With his Jensen Interceptor
It's just a runaround

You defer to the views of the television news
Let someone do your thinking for you
And you still buy a daily newspaper
And you find everything there but the news

And still you look down on the teenage dad on
On his estate
He's happy so leave him alone
With his baby
And his modest home
He's happy so leave him alone
With his Jensen Interceptor
It's just a runaround

You become your parents' parent
And you love them
But you can't help feeling used
And you hate the teenage dad on his estate
Because he's poor but he's happier than you
They're all laughing at you
You're a dipper, a slider, cart-horse provider
Nobody cares about you
Just as long as you're out there bringing it in
Despising the grin on the face of the boy
With the methadone
With his methadone
He's happy so leave him alone
With his methadone
He's happy so leave him alone
