Smiths songs you'd like Morrissey to play

[tomsidg]

I'm sure you've all discussed this a million times but I was thinking the other day that most of the smiths songs that I would like to hear Morrissey play have been played. I would like to have been there when he played Please Please Please and The Queen Is Dead...not only for the sense of history surrounding those gigs but from hearing the boots the two songs were performed really really well. Do you think Morrissey planned to only play these songs once? Or it came about after the performance that he didn't want to play them again.

Of the songs he hasn't yet played I would like to hear him play Asleep,The Boy with a thorn in his side, panic, girlfriend in a coma, still ill, ask and this charming man. I'm sure theres many more that I would like to see him play.

What does everyone else think?

Sheila! and That joke!

Barbarism

 

[Donnie Darko]

Mine is a short list:
(I would make that damn scary-lookin' Rabbit fess up if moz played ANY of these!)

Still Ill
These Things Take Time
I Know It's Over
The Queen Is Dead
Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before

I don't think he can sing 'those' songs anymore...Can you really imagine him singing Miserable Lie now..its absurd..like warm ice cream on cold toast

Stop me if you think you've heard this one before.

I think his voice would really suit Still Ill now

Well I wonder why the only song The Smiths never played live was that one?

Still Ill - lyric chages

Agree Still Ill on Rank is brilliant
imagine the lyric changes for updated version though...

I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
Mexico's mine and it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I’ll punch your in chin , doh
Oh, ask me why, and I’ll punch your in chin

Look my Gucci bling does not make me a bore
Oh Gucci bling, no whore

Is my money on my mind ?
Or is my mind on my money ?
I dunno...

Up on Redondo Beach we dissed
And although I ended up with fat lips
It just wasn’t like the cold old days of yore
No, it wasn’t like those days
Am I still ill ?
Oh, no ...
Oh, no ...
Oh, am I still ill ?
Oh, no ...
Oh, no ...

Is my money on my mind ?
Or is my mind on my money ?
I dunno...

Ask me why, and I’ll smile
Oh, ask me why, and I’ll die

And if Bush goes to war - tomorrow
Well, if I were he I really wouldn’t bother
For there are brighter ways to fight
And I should know, because I’ve been there

Up on Venice Beach we dissed
And although I ended up with fat lips
It just wasn’t like the cold old days of yore
No, it wasn’t like those days
Am I still ill ?
Oh, no ...
Oh, no ...
Oh, am I still ill ?
Oh, no ...
Oh, no ...
Euh !

It was played live in Wolverhampton in 1988, I got a bootleg of it
