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

07/01/2008 - Canzoni nuove o canzoni fantasma?
Cercando sul sito Warner Chappell si trovano alcune canzoni registrate nel catalogo che hanno Morrissey come autore. Ecco quelle firmate Morrissey e Alain Whyte:

Action Man
Teresa, Teresa
My Dearest Love
When I Was Young
When Last I Spoke To Carol
You Were Good In Your Time
Because Of My Poor Education
I Was Bully, Do Not Forget Me
It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed
Something Is Squeezing My Skull
I'm Looking Forward To Going Back

Probabilmente si tratta di composizioni di qualche anno fa scartate prima ancora di arrivare in studio, ma c'è chi sostiene che siano le canzoni per il nuovo album.

New songs or ghost songs?
Searching the Warner Chappell website, some unrelased song titles appear with Morrissey as the author. Here are those listed as Morrissey/Alain Whyte compositions:

Action Man
Teresa, Teresa
My Dearest Love
When I Was Young
When Last I Spoke To Carol
You Were Good In Your Time
Because Of My Poor Education
I Was Bully, Do Not Forget Me
It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed
Something Is Squeezing My Skull
I'm Looking Forward To Going Back

They are probably old compositions discarded before they can get to the recording studio, but some think they should be new album's tracks.

10/12/2007 - Morrissey vs. the NME
A seguito della pubblicazione sulla rivista inglese New Musical Express di un'intervista rilasciata da Morrissey, in cui, a suo dire, gli si attribuiscono idee xenofobe, gli avvocati ed il manager del cantante inglese hanno intrapreso un'azione legale che potrebbe anche finire in tribunale. Sarebbe troppo lungo riassumere in queste poche righe le vicende ma per approfondire la questione, leggete tutto su Morrissey Solo o su True To You, dove compare anche una lunga lettera dello stesso Morrissey sull'argomento.

Morrissey vs. the NME
After the publication on NME of an interview where Morrissey is depicted as a man with racist opinions, Morrissey's manager and lawyers have taken legal actions against the magazine and the affair could possibly reach the court. It would be too long to put it in a nutshell here, but if you want to know more about the clash please read it all on Morrissey Solo or True To You, where Morrissey's view appears in a long letter.

05/12/2007 - Nuovo singolo a gennaio: "That's How People Grow Up"
Il nuovo album del 2008, che non ha ancora un titolo ufficiale, sarà anticipato a fine gennaio da un singolo inedito, "That's How People Grow Up". La track sarà accompagnata da tre brani live, fra cui "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" degli Smiths.

New single in January: "That's How People Grow Up"
Morrissey's new album will be released next Autumn 2008 but next January an unreleased single will be published: "That's How People Grow Up". The single will be released with 3 live tracks, one of these being The Smiths' "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side".

03/12/2007 - Morrissey firma per la Decca (Polydor UK)
Morrissey ha firmato un contratto discografico esclusivo mondiale con la Decca. Tutte le pubblicazioni verranno commercializzate e promosse attraverso la Polydor UK. La prima pubblicazione sarà un Greatest Hits comprendente materiale della carriera solistica di Morrissey con due inediti e uscirà il prossimo febbraio, dopo una serie di 6 concerti sold-out di gennaio al leggendario Roundhouse di Londra.
Morrissey sta attualmente registrando un nuovo album in studio a Los Angeles, con Jerry Finn, il produttore di "You Are The Quarry". L'album, ancora senza titolo, verrà pubblicato nell'autunno 2008.
Morrissey ha dichiarato: "Sono felice di essere parte della famiglia Decca e Polydor e sono entusiasta dei nuovi singoli e dell'album che pubblicheremo nel 2008." 

Morrissey signs to Decca (Polydor UK)
Morrissey has signed an exclusive world-wide recording contract with Decca. All releases will be marketed and promoted through Polydor UK.
The first release under this new contract will be a Greatest Hits album of Morrissey solo material with two new songs in February 2008, which will follow a six-night run of sold-out shows in January at London's legendary Roundhouse.

Morrissey is currently recording a new studio album in LA, working once again with Jerry Finn, the producer of 2004's widely acclaimed UK #2 album You Are The Quarry. The as yet untitled new album will be released in Autumn 2008.

Morrissey added: "I am delighted to be part of the Decca and Polydor family and am very excited about the new singles and albums we are going to do together in 2008."

05/11/2007 - I piani di Morrissey per il prossimo anno
Mentre sta per finire il suo tour infinito del 2007, Morrissey sta già pensando al futuro con due prossime pubblicazioni in corso d'opera. Tornerà anche presto in concerto all'inizio del 2008. Lo afferma il suo manager Merck Mercuriadis. Mercuriadis sostiene poi che Morrissey firmerà presto un nuovo contratto discografico. Un album di "greatest hits" con due nuove canzoni ed un nuovo album in studio prodotto da Jerry Finn, che aveva già prodotto "You Are The Quarry" sono in serbo per gli estimatori.

Morrissey's new plans for next year
While finishing with his 2007 marathon tour, Morrissey is already making plans for the future with two new releases in the works. He also will be back on the road early next year, according to his manager, Merck Mercuriadis. Mercuriadis says Morrissey, who was last inked to Sanctuary, will sign a new record deal to be announced soon. A greatest hits collection with two new songs and a new studio record produced by Jerry Finn, who was behind the boards for 2004's "You Are the Quarry," are on tap for 2008. (source billboard.com)
