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

Jim Jim Falls

At Jim Jim Falls
I fall in love
At Jim Jim Falls
I fell up from hell

If you're gonna jump, then jump
Don't think about it
If you're gonna run home and cry
Then don't waste my time
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then to save face
Get on with it

At Jim Jim Falls
I fooled and fell
If I were you
I'd stick to your own canoe

If you're gonna jump, then jump
Don't think about it
If you're gonna run home and cry
Then don't waste my time
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then to save face
Get on with it

If you're gonna sing, then sing
Just don't talk about it
If you're gonna live, then live
Don't talk about it
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then for god's sake
Just kill yourself

If you're gonna sing, then sing
Just don't talk about it
If you're gonna live, then live
Don't talk about it
If you're gonna kill yourself
Then for god's sake
Just kill yourself


Suicide: a controversial topic touched upon by Morrissey like many others addressed many times in his career in his lyrics. Deeply in line with the album's title, some unusual and counter-current views are expressed here on what is certainly a sensitive subject.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Jim Jim Falls (Aboriginal: Barrkmalam) is a plunge waterfall on the Jim Jim Creek that descends over the Arnhem Land escarpment within the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia. The Jim Jim Falls area is registered on the Australian National Heritage List.

Etymology
The English name "Jim Jim Falls" comes from the local Kundjeyhmi word "andjimdjim", referring to the water pandanus (Pandanus aquaticus), a native plant. Andjimdjim (or mandjimdjim in the neighbouring Kunwinjku language) lines the creek below Jim Jim Falls.

Le cascate di Jim Jim

Alle cascate di Jim Jim
Mi innamoro
Alle cascate di Jim Jim
Sono caduto dall'inferno

Se vuoi saltare, allora salta
Non ci pensare
Se vuoi correre a casa a piangere
Allora non sprecare il mio tempo
Se hai intenzione di ucciderti
Allora, per salvare la faccia
Procedi

Alle cascate di Jim Jim
Sono impazzito e sono caduto
Se fossi in te
mi aggrapperei alla tua stessa canoa

Se vuoi saltare, allora salta
Non ci pensare
Se hai intenzione di correre a casa a piangere
Allora non sprecare il mio tempo
Se hai intenzione di ucciderti
Allora, per salvare la faccia
Procedi

Se vuoi cantare, allora canta
Ma non parlarne
Se vuoi vivere, allora vivi
Non parlarne
Se hai intenzione di ucciderti
Allora, per l'amor di Dio
Ucciditi e basta

Se vuoi cantare, allora canta
Non parlarne
Se vuoi vivere, allora vivi
Non parlarne
Se vuoi ucciderti
Allora, per l'amor di Dio
Ucciditi e basta


Il suicidio: un tema controverso sfiorato da Morrissey come molti altri più volte affrontati in carriera nei suoi testi. Profondamente in linea col titolo dell'album, qui vengono espresse alcune opinioni inusuali e contro-corrente su un argomento certamente delicato.

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera:
Le Jim Jim Falls (aborigeno: Barrkmalam) sono una cascata a strapiombo sul Jim Jim Creek che scende sulla scarpata dell'Arnhem Land, all'interno del Parco nazionale di Kakadu, patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO, nel Territorio del Nord dell'Australia. L'area delle Jim Jim Falls è iscritta nella lista del patrimonio nazionale australiano.

Etimologia
Il nome inglese “Jim Jim Falls” deriva dalla parola locale Kundjeyhmi “andjimdjim”, che si riferisce al pandano d'acqua (Pandanus aquaticus), una pianta nativa. L'andjimdjim (o mandjimdjim nella vicina lingua Kunwinjku) costeggia il torrente sotto le Jim Jim Falls.
