Do you like any lyrics from another artist that sound like something Morrissey could/should have written or ones that Morrissey could "borrow" for use in his own songs.
I have a few:
I have always thought the Leonard Cohen line
"I was born like this,
I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice"
would be a perfect Morrissey line.
from Bruce Springsteen's State Trooper
"Maybe you got a kid
Maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I got's
Been bugging me my whole life"
from Black Eyed Man by Michael Timmins
"Yes I did go to him,
but completely against my will
and yes he did things to me
things of which I dream of still."
(you might have to hear the song to understand that the line “things of which I dream of still” is meant in a "good memory" way)
from I Don't Get It by Margo and Michael Timmins
"I ask my friends if they understand
They just laugh at me and watch another band
They don't worry, they don't worry"
Just a few things that I heard recently that made me think of this post.
