Wor(l)d of Morrissey
  We're back! Welcome to the world of Morrissey's lyrics.

This site and all of the work made to keep it updated during the last 26 years are dedicated to my beloved friend MaCa65 who suddenly left this lonely planet
and me without words. Throughout the short stretch of time that we have been given to spend together as close friends, we shared many things,
thoughts, afternoons, views, passions and some bits of Life. Back in 1983, together we discovered a band called The Smiths and together since then, we followed
Morrissey's career as one of the most influential and inspiring singer/artist/poet of our age. Maca65 has always been a strong supporter since when I first launched WoM,
so this is and will always be entirely for you, my friend. -- David

You Are the Quarry è il settimo album da solista di Morrissey. È stato pubblicato il 17 maggio 2004 dall'etichetta discografica Attack ed è stato il suo primo album in sette anni dopo Maladjusted del 1997. L'album ha segnato un grande ritorno per Morrissey: tutti e quattro i singoli estratti hanno raggiunto la top 10 della UK Singles Chart e l'album stesso ha raggiunto la seconda posizione. L'album ha anche raggiunto l'undicesima posizione della Billboard 200, diventando l'album di Morrissey con la posizione più alta nelle classifiche degli Stati Uniti. A quanto pare l'album si intitola “You Are The Quarry” perché Morrissey riteneva che la sua casa discografica lo stesse ‘sfruttando’ per i suoi soldi e si considerava la “miniera” da cui veniva estratto il profitto. Il titolo è ironico e riflette la sua sensazione di essere sfruttato dall'industria musicale, in particolare nel periodo precedente all'uscita dell'album.

You Are the Quarry is the seventh solo studio album by Morrissey. It was released on 17 May 2004 by record label Attack, and was his first album in seven years following 1997's Maladjusted. The album was a huge comeback for Morrissey; all four of its singles reached the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, and the album itself reached number 2. The album also reached number 11 on the Billboard 200, making it Morrissey's highest-charting album in the United States. Apparently the album is called "You Are The Quarry" because Morrissey felt that his record label was "mining" him for his money, and he saw himself as the "quarry" being extracted from. The title is ironic, reflecting his feeling of being exploited by the music industry, particularly during the period leading up to the album's release.
