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 26 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, afternoons, views, 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

The Girl From Tel Aviv Who Wouldn't Kneel

The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
Nor for husband, dictator, tyrant or king
Humble homes with mottoes on the walls

Symbols and signs in framed designed
Sure to keep the poor poor
In fear of a god who hadn't saved them after all

And all of my friends are in trouble
They're sorry, they're sick and they know
All of my friends are in trouble
There's no need to go into that now

The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
Nor for husband, dictator, tyrant or king

The sorrow my countenance shows
Is hardly worth mentioning now
Impartial application of the law
In other words legalized torture

Of princes and kings and their costly parade
Blitz them all back to the Stone Age
The American way displayed proudly
Is to show lots of teeth and talk loudly

And the land weeps oil
The land weeps oil
What do you think all these armies are for?
Just because the land weeps oil

And the land weeps oil
The land weeps oil
What do you think all these conflicts are for?
It's just because the land weeps oil

La ragazza di Tel Aviv che non s'inginocchiava

La ragazza di Tel Aviv che non s'inginocchiava
La ragazza di Tel Aviv che non s'inginocchiava
Non per un marito, un dittatore, un tiranno od un re
Umili case con slogan sui muri

Simboli e segni disegnati in riquadri
Sicuri di tenere i poveri in povertà
Nel timore di un dio che dopo tutto non li ha salvati

E tutti i miei amici sono nei guai
Sono dispiaciuti, stanno male e lo sanno
Tutti i miei amici sono nei guai
Non c'è bisogno di parlarne adesso

La ragazza di Tel Aviv che non s'inginocchiava
La ragazza di Tel Aviv che non s'inginocchiava
Non per un marito, un dittatore, un tiranno od un re

Il dolore che l'espressione sul mio volto mostra
Non vale la pena di menzionarlo adesso
Applicazione imparziale della legge
In altre parole, tortura legalizzata

Dei principi, dei re e della loro ricca sfilata
li bombardano tutti rimandandoli all'Età della Pietra
Il metodo americano orgogliosamente esibito
è di mostrare molti denti e di parlare a voce alta

E la terra lacrima petrolio
La terra piange petrolio
A cosa credi che servano tutti questi eserciti?
Proprio perché la terra piange petrolio

E la terra piange petrolio
La terra piange petrolio
A cosa credi che servano tutti questi conflitti?
E' proprio perché la terra piange petrolio
