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

Pubblicato con sorprendente rapidità dopo lo scioglimento degli Smiths, nel marzo del 1988, Viva Hate rispose a tutte le voci che volevano Morrissey perso in sè stesso dopo gli Smiths. Il chitarrista Vini Reilly fu ingaggiato dal compositore/produttore dell'album Stephen Street, per suonare tastiere e chitarra su molte tracce. Reilly fu scontento del contributo che portò all'album dichiarando che "[Stephen Street] poteva anche ottenere quello che io ho fatto da un ottimo chitarrista di session". Lo stile complesso di suonare di Reilly non si adattava davvero al pop semplicistico di Street. L'album era stato inizialmente intitolato "Education In Reverse" ("Istruzione al contrario"), ma Morrissey cambiò idea per riflettere meglio il suo stato d'animo generale dopo lo scioglimento degli Smiths. Alcuni LP pubblicati in Australia furono stampati con questo titolo ed hanno ora un grande valore sul mercato.

Released surprisingly quickly after the break-up, in March 1988, Viva Hate answered the pundits who declared that Morrissey would be lost on his own. The guitarist Vini Reilly was enlisted by writer/producer Stephen Street, playing keyboards and guitar on several tracks. Vini Reilly was reportedly unhappy with the contribution he made towards the album, saying "[Stephen Street] may as well have got a very good session guitar player to do what what I did." Vini's complex style of play did not really fit with Street's simplistic pop. This album was originally called "Education In Reverse", but changed name to reflect Morrissey's feelings after the break-up. Some Australian LPs were misprinted with this title, and are now worth a lot in the market.
