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

Sorrow Will Come In The End

Legalized theft
Leaves me bereft
I get it straight in the neck
(Somehow expecting no less)
A court of justice
With no use for Truth
Lawyer... liar
Lawyer... liar
You pleaded and squealed
And you think you've won
But Sorrow will come
To you in the end
And as sure as my words are pure
I praise the day that brings you pain
Q.C.'s obsessed with sleaze
Frantic for Fame
They're all on the game
They just use a different name
You lied
And you were believed
By a J.P. senile and vile
You pleaded and squealed
And you think you've won
But Sorrow will come
To you in the end
And as sure as my words are pure
I praise the day that brings you pain
So don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
A man who slits throats
Has time on his hands
And I'm gonna get you
So don't close your eyes
Don't ever close your eyes
You think you've won
OH NO


This track is more talking rather than singing, intriguing and weird at the same time. Almost an outpouring of his feelings after the defeat in the Mike Joyce court case(*). The former Smiths drummer in 1996 brought Morrissey and Johnny Marr before a JP (Justice of the Peace) for royalties acknowledgement over Smiths' music. The judge branded Morrissey "devious, truculent and unreliable".

J.P.: Justice of the Peace
Q.C.: Queen's Counsel

(*) In the mid-90’s The Smiths’ drummer Mike Joyce claimed he’d not been paid enough royalties for the work he’d contributed to the band. The judge found in his favour so Morrissey and Marr, the songwriters, were forced to cough up a cool one million pounds.

Il Rimorso Alla Fine Giungerà

Furto legalizzato
mi lascia senza speranza
Me la prendo dritta in faccia
(non che mi aspettassi niente di più)
Una corte di tribunale
senza alcuna utilità per la Verità
Avvocato... bugiardo
Avvocato... bugiardo
Avete supplicato e strillato
e pensate di aver vinto
ma il Rimorso giungerà
a voi alla fine
Sicuro come sono pure le mie parole
elogio il giorno che vi porterà la sofferenza
Alti avvocati ossessionati dalla pornografia
in agitazione per la Fama
Fanno tutti parte del gioco
Usano solo un nome diverso
Avete mentito
e siete stati creduti
da un Giudice di Pace vecchio e vile
Avete supplicato e strillato
e pensate di aver vinto
ma il Rimorso giungerà
a voi alla fine
Sicuro come sono pure le mie parole
elogio il giorno che vi porterà la sofferenza
Perciò non chiudete gli occhi
Non chiudete gli occhi
Un tagliagole
ha tempo libero in quantità
ed io vi prenderò
Perciò non chiudete gli occhi
Non chiudete mai gli occhi
Pensate di aver vinto
Oh no...


Un brano parlato più che cantato, intrigante e strano allo stesso tempo. Quasi uno sfogo dopo la mazzata ricevuta in tribunale, nella causa(*) intentata da Mike Joyce nel 1996, ex-batterista degli Smiths, per il riconoscimento dei diritti d'autore nei confronti di Morrissey e Johnny Marr. Il giudice bollò Morrissey come "contorto, truculento e inaffidabile".

J.P.: Justice of the Peace, giudice di pace
Q.C.: Queen's Counsel, alto titolo onorifico concesso agli avvocati in Gran Bretagna.

(*) A metà degli anni Novanta, il batterista dei disciolti Smiths Mike Joyce affermò di non essere stato pagato abbastanza per il suo contributo alla band. Il giudice emise un verdetto a suo favore, così Morrissey e Marr, gli autori di tutte le canzoni degli Smiths, dovettero sborsare la bellezza di un milione di sterline.
