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 25 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, 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

Un album dal vivo pubblicato nel 1988. Con Craig Gannon alla seconda chitarra, probabilmente rappresenta gli Smiths al loro meglio dal vivo. Compilata dallo stesso Morrissey con l'approvazione di Johnny Marr, l'album è una selezione dal concerto al The National Ballroom, a Kilburn, Londra nell'ottobre del 1986. Inizialmente intitolato "The Smiths In Heat", Morrissey alla fine impose "Rank come in J. Arthur Rank", un riferimento al famoso magnate del cinema britannico ma anche, tipico dello spirito sovversivo del cantante, un eufemismo comune in inglese per masturbazione. L'album doveva contenere 'brani dal vivo inusuali' e 'versioni differenti delle canzoni' invece di una edizione pura e semplice della registrazione BBC del concerto al Kilburn National Ballroom.

A live album released in 1988. With Craig Gannon on a much-needed 2nd guitar, it probably catches The Smiths at their live best. Compiled by Morrissey himself, and approved by Johnny Marr, the album is a selection of the concert at The National Ballroom, Kilburn, in London, in October 1986. Originally titled "The Smiths In Heat", Morrissey eventually insisted on "Rank as in J Arthur", a reference to the British movie mogul but, typical of the singer's subversive wit, also a common English euphemism for masturbation. The album was supposed to include 'unusual live tracks' and 'different versions of the songs' rather than a straightforward edit of the BBC recording of the concert at the Kilburn National Ballroom.
