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

I Knew I Was Next

So what do you think I am?
And how precisely could you tell
A decent skin is all I am?
People think badly of me
But one day maybe they'll praise
Oh but meanwhile...

I knew I was next
And I didn't mind
Here I offer you my life for any debts you're due
And when you've been down for the very last time
There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

The shadows of trees, they reach to me
They know a decent skin is all I am
People think badly of me
But when I'm in my grave maybe they'll praise
Oh but meanwhile...

I knew I was next
And I didn't mind
Here I offer you my life for any debts you're due
And when you've been down for the very last time
There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

Oh but meanwhile...
I knew I was next
And I didn't mind
When you've been slapped around
And one more slap can't hurt you
And when you've been down for the very last time
There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

I knew I was next
And I didn't mind
When you've been slapped around
And one more slap can't hurt you
And when you've been down for the very last time
There is nothing anyone can say to hurt you

Sapevo di essere il successivo

Allora cosa credi che io sia?
E con quanta precisione potresti dirlo?
Non sono che una pelle decente
La gente pensa male di me
ma un giorno forse mi elogieranno
Oh ma nel frattempo...

Sapevo di essere il successivo
e non m'importava
Ecco, ti offro la mia vita per qualsiasi debito tu abbia
e quando sei stato depresso per l'ultima volta
non c'è niente che qualcuno possa fare per ferirti

Le ombre degli alberi, si protendono verso me
Loro sanno che non sono altro che una pelle decente
La gente pensa male di me
ma quando sarò nella tomba forse mi elogieranno
Oh ma nel frattempo...

Sapevo di essere il successivo
e non m'importava
Ecco, ti offro la mia vita per qualsiasi debito tu abbia
e quando sei stato depresso per l'ultima volta
non c'è niente che qualcuno possa fare per ferirti

Oh ma nel frattempo...
Sapevo di essere il successivo
e non m'importava
Quando sei stato preso a schiaffi dappertutto
ed uno schiaffo in più non può ferirti
E quando sei stato depresso per l'ultima volta
non c'è niente che qualcuno possa fare per ferirti

Sapevo di essere il successivo
e non m'importava
Quando sei stato preso a schiaffi dappertutto
ed uno schiaffo in più non può ferirti
E quando sei stato depresso per l'ultima volta
non c'è niente che qualcuno possa fare per ferirti
