Smiths - Morrissey fan since 1985.

My newest "Songs Morrissey should cover " entries:

04:24 PM
Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin"
Simply Red "Holding Back the Years"
Garbage "Only Happy When It Rains" (thanks to Sullen's comment reminding me of this one)

I like these Tull ones for the vocals and the way they are sung...I can do without the guitar solos and some of the fluting. They are from the early days of Tull.

Jethro Tull "Look Into The Sun"
Jethro Tull "Fat Man"
Jethro Tull "Inside"
Jethro Tull "Reasons for Waiting"
Jethro Tull "Back to the Family"

------------

"Stardust" Martin Gore's version
"I Cast a Lonesome Shadow" Martin Gore's version
"Loverman" Martin Gore's version

Lyrics:
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
(How much longer)
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
(How much longer)
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)

Loverman!
Since the world began
Forever, Amen
Till end of time
Take off that dress
I'm coming down
I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am

L is for LOVE, baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY all that you are
E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do
R is for RAPE me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING all of my prayers
N is for KNOWING your loverman's going

Loverman!
Till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Amen I'm your loverman
So help me, baby
So help me
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
I'll be your loverman!

There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door
(How much longer)
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
And he's old and he's stupid and
(How much longer)
he's hungry and he's sore
(How much longer)
And he's lame and he's blind
and he's dirty and he's poor
(How much longer)
Give him more
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)

Loverman!
Here I stand
Forever, Amen
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
Forgive me, baby
My hands are tied
And I got no choice
No, I got no choice at all

I'll say it again
L is for LOVE, baby
O is for O yes I do
V is for VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for EVEN if you want me to
R is for RENDER unto me, baby
M is for that which is MINE
A is for ANY old how, darling
N is for ANY old time

I'll be your loverman!
I got a masterplan
To take off your dress
And be your man
Seize the throne
Seize the mantle
Seize the crown
Cause I am what I am
What I am what I am I'm your loverman!

There's a devil lying by your side
You might think he's asleep
but look at his eyes
He wants you, baby, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side
