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

Mexico

In Mexico
I went for a walk to inhale
the tranquil, cool, lover’s air
but I could taste a trace
of American chemical waste
And the small voice said
"What can we do?"

In Mexico
I went for a walk to inhale
the tranquil, cool, lover's air
but I could sense the hate
from the Lone Star state
And a small voice said
"What can we do?"

It seems if you’re rich and you’re white
you’ll be alright
I just don’t see why
this should be so
If you’re rich and you’re white
you’ll be alright
I just don’t see why
this should be so

In Mexico
I lay on the grass
and I cried my heart out
for want of my love
Oh, for want of my love
Oh, for want of my love

It seems if you’re rich and you’re white
you think you’re so right
I just don’t see why
this should be so
If you’re rich and you’re white
then you’ll be OK
I just don’t see why
this should be so

In Mexico
I lay on the grass
and I cried my heart out
for want of my love
For want of my love
For want of my love
For want of my love

Lone Star State: that is the nickname of Texas, USA, coming from its flag. Texas is also a neighbour state to Mexico.

Messico

In Messico
ho fatto una passeggiata per inspirare
la fresca e tranquilla aria degli amanti
Ho potuto assaporare una traccia
dei rifiuti chimici americani
E la piccola voce mi ha detto:
"Cosa possiamo fare?"

In Messico
ho fatto una passeggiata per inspirare
la fresca e tranquilla aria degli amanti
Ho potuto avvertire l'odio
venire dallo stato della Stella Solitaria
Ed una piccola voce mi ha detto:
"Cosa possiamo fare?"

Sembra che se sei ricco e bianco
tutto andrà bene
Proprio non capisco il perché
debba essere così
Se sei ricco e bianco
andrai benissimo
Proprio non capisco perché
debba essere così

In Messico
steso sull'erba
ed ho gridato col cuore in mano
dal desiderio per il mio amore
Oh, dal desiderio per il mio amore
Oh, dal desiderio per il mio amore

Sembra che se sei ricco e bianco
pensi di essere a posto
Proprio non capisco perché
debba essere così
Se sei ricco e bianco
allora sarai sempre OK
Proprio non capisco perché
debba essere così

In Messico
steso sull'erba
mi lamento col cuore in lacrime
dal desiderio per il mio amore
dal desiderio per il mio amore
dal desiderio per il mio amore
dal desiderio per il mio amore

Lone Star State: è il soprannome dello stato del Texas, USA. La stella solitaria è presente nella bandiera del Texas, che è confinante con il Messico.
