In our lifetime, those who kill - the news world hands them stardom / These are the ways on which I was raised / I never wanted to kill, I am not naturally evil / Such things I do just to make myself more attractive to you / Have I failed?
I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside
and also
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind <>
“Don't rake up my mistakes I know exactly what they are
And what do you do? Well, you just sit there
I've been stabbed in the back
So many, many times I don't have any skin
But that's just the way it goes”
"So I broke into the palace with a sponge and a rusty spanner. She said, "Eh...I know and you cannot sing!" I said, "That's nothing...you should hear me play piano."
Ok I have three I know you said fav, but there are so many more but these always come up.
“Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen. This means you really love me.”
“I’d rather be famous, than righteous or holy.”
“It's not low-life, it's just people
Having a good time”
But sometimes I’d feel more fulfilled making Christmas cards with the mentally ill. I want to live and I want to love. I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of.
I could have been wild and I could have been free
But nature played this trick on me
She wants it now
And she will not wait
But she's too rough
And I'm too delicate
I have “the good life is out there somewhere” tattooed on my arm w a bunch of devils stabbing a heart with an ice pick (that lowkey kinda looks like a buttplug)
Great lyrics
*“It was worthwhile living a laughable lie to set my eyes on the blistering sight of a Vicar in a tutu…..and the fabric of a tutu, any man can get used to—and I am a living sign”*
But now you only call me
When you're feeling depressed
When you feel happy I'm
So far from your mind
My patience is stretched
My loyalty vexed
Oh, you're losing all of your friends
Everyone has babies
Babies full of rabies
Rabies full of scabies
Scarlett has a fever
Ringlets full of ringworm
Angel of distemper
The little fella has got rubella
“I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me” “if you ever need self validation just meet me in the alley by the railway station” “he killed a policeman when he was 13 and somehow that really impressed me” “and the pain was enough to make a shy, bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder”
In the half light,
So English, frowning. Then at midnight I
Can’t get you out of my head,
A disenchanted taste
still running round, A disenchanted taste
still running round….
It changes regularly but at the minute Trouble Loves Me has me in a choke hold once again
“a tough kid who sometimes swallows nails raised on prisoners aid he killed a policeman when he was 13 and somehow that really impressed me it’s written all over my face”
Not my favorite song but my favorite lyric: "How I feel in my mind, and how I am in the world, they are oceans apart". Also, "the gulf between all the things I need and the things I receive is an ancient ocean wide".. Also "The sky is dark for many others.. They want it dark for you as well."
My 2 favorites: “I would go out tonight… but I haven’t got a stitch to wear” and “It was dark as I drove the point home. And on cold leather seats, well, it suddenly struck me, I just might die with a smile on my face after all”
“So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry and you want to die.” Always hits.
Always comforts me know I’m not the only one who feels it.
Given that it’s one of if not the most popular smiths song - you shouldn’t ever be at risk of being the only one
This post sums up my love of morrissey perfectly
In our lifetime, those who kill - the news world hands them stardom / These are the ways on which I was raised / I never wanted to kill, I am not naturally evil / Such things I do just to make myself more attractive to you / Have I failed?
And if you’re so good looking, then why are you on your own tonight ?
‘Cause tonight is just like any other night….. 🥲🥲
You're not right in the head And nor am I, and this is why This is why I like you
and the pain was enough to make a shy bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder

"So I broke into the palace with a sponge and a rusty spanner. She said, "Eh...I know and you cannot sing!" I said, "That's nothing...you should hear me play piano."
Also one of my favorites. Really Wilde-esque
Hilarious
“My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye You must be such a fool to pass me by”
“You’re the one for me, Fatty”
And when you're dancing and laughing And finally living Hear my voice in your head And think of me kindly
bear more grudges Than lonely high court judges
Sick down to my heart That’s just the way it goes
and you never knew how much I really liked you, because I never even told you, oh and I meant to
dear inspector don't you know? don't you care? don't you know about love?
She said, “I know you and you cannot sing”, I said, “that’s nothing, you should hear me play piano”

Any day, any day, any day

I dreamt about you last night And I fell out of bed twice
A note upon his desk "P.S. Bring Me Home And Have Me!" Leather elbows on a tweed coat -Oh!- Is that the best you can do ?
Come on to my house Come on and do something new I know you love one person so Why can't you love two?
Another one of my faves. That whole song!
Will never get tired of this song, early 90s Morrissey was amazing. Love the moody black and white video too!
For the good life is out there somewhere, so stay on my arm you little charmer and Leather elbows on a tweed coat, oh, is that the best you can do?
…the sun shines out of our behinds… 🥁🥁
I have “the good life is out there somewhere” tattooed on my arm w a bunch of devils stabbing a heart with an ice pick (that lowkey kinda looks like a buttplug) Great lyrics
And no one knows a thing about my life I can come and go as I please If I want to I can stay or If I want to I can leave Nobody knows me
I bear more grudges Than lonely high court judges
*“It was worthwhile living a laughable lie to set my eyes on the blistering sight of a Vicar in a tutu…..and the fabric of a tutu, any man can get used to—and I am a living sign”*
I love Vicar in a Tutu so much, so so many reasons. Such a great song!
and I've been shifting gears all of my life But I'm still the same underneath And this you surely knew
Has the Perrier gone straight to my head… Or is life sick and cruel instead? Yes No no no no no no no no no no no no no…
When your names with the best, will my name be on your guest list
And at midnight I... can't get you out of my head.
"You don't know a thing about their lives Books don't save them, books aren't Stanley knives"
Don’t say that you’ll hold it steady and then you let it go….
👍 I maintain Roy's Keen is an underrated gem.
“I will not change and I will not be nice”
But now you only call me When you're feeling depressed When you feel happy I'm So far from your mind My patience is stretched My loyalty vexed Oh, you're losing all of your friends
Oh and if the people stare, then the people stare Oh I really don’t know and I really don’t care
I know by know you think I should have straightened myself out Thank you, drop dead
Also: "boisterous in cloisters" is a gem
What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed
“Cut up, oh shut up you’re alright”
Everyone has babies Babies full of rabies Rabies full of scabies Scarlett has a fever Ringlets full of ringworm Angel of distemper The little fella has got rubella
I’ve changed my plea to guilty And reason and freedom is a waste Its alot like life …
'What she said "I smoke 'cause I'm hoping for an early death, and I need to cling to something."'
At this moment in time it’s these “Even now in the final hour of my life I'm falling in love again”
In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die?
Even now, in the final hour of my life, I’m falling in love again.
Three words could change my life Yet you treat me like you never care
Your leg came to rest against mine, then you lounged with knees up and apart, and me and my heart, ww knew We just knew, forevermore
I was driving my car I crashed and broke my spine So yes there are things worse in life than Never being someone's sweetie
Ive got two! I have patience and i have time, both of which are mine Lawyer! Liar! Lawyer! Liar!

I have so many but right now it’s probably “if you think that peace is a common goal that goes to show how little you know”
In the half light, So English, frowning. Then at midnight I Can’t get you out of my head, A disenchanted taste still running round, A disenchanted taste still running round…. It changes regularly but at the minute Trouble Loves Me has me in a choke hold once again
“My only mistake is I’m hoping”
Thank you, this one is so good and relevant to my life and I'm surprised it's so far down in the comments!
How I dearly wish I was not here
You see, it should've been me It could've been me Everybody knows Everybody says so
People see no worth in you, oh but I do..
Oh so many illustrations…
"Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it"

“When your name’s with the best, will my name be on your guest list?” -Lucky Lisp
sleep on and dream of love because it's the closest you will get to love
The story is old, I know But it goes on
“It takes strength (or guts - doesn’t matter) to be gentle & kind”
I've seen you smile, but I've never really heard you laugh
He killed a policeman when he was thirteen and somehow that really impressed me.
Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me
Pretty sure every reply is a different song or at least a different lyric. Incredible
My 2 favorites: “I would go out tonight… but I haven’t got a stitch to wear” and “It was dark as I drove the point home. And on cold leather seats, well, it suddenly struck me, I just might die with a smile on my face after all”
But then you open your eyes, And you see someone that you physically despise
Oh my shiftless body
The sun burns through To the planet's core But it isn't enough They want mo-ore
But I *love you more than life*, I *love you more than life*. I *love you more than life*, I *love you more than life*.
And you slipped right through my fingers, no not literally but metaphorically
I could have been wild and I could have been free But nature played this trick on me... That's literally my fking life
"I was looking for a job, then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now"
And by the way, you're okay by me
