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

Knockabout World

Congratulations
You have survived
Congratulations
You're still alive
They kicked to kill you
Do not forget
They tried to turn you
Into a public target

Welcome to this knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world

Congratulations
You're still okay
I'd kiss your lips off
Any day

Be careful in this knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world
This knockabout world

And by the way
You're okay by me
You're okay by me
With your handsome teeth
You're okay by me
You're okay by me
(This knockabout world)
You're okay by me
(This knockabout world)
You're okay by me
You're okay by me


Morrissey might be talking about the media and public who have accused him of racist and xenophobic comments, so He could be saying that the fact that he has survived through all of that is a great source of pride itself.

Mondo da strapazzo

Congratulazioni
Sei sopravvissuto
Congratulazioni
Sei ancora vivo
Ti hanno preso a calci per ucciderti
Non dimenticarlo
Hanno cercato di trasformarti
In un bersaglio pubblico

Benvenuto in questo mondo da strapazzo
Questo mondo da strapazzo
Questo mondo da strapazzo
Questo mondo da strapazzo

Congratulazioni
Sei ancora a posto
Ti bacerei sulle labbra
Ogni giorno

Fa' attenzione in questo mondo da strapazzo
Questo mondo da strapazzo
Questo mondo da strapazzo
Questo mondo da strapazzo

E comunque
Per me sei a posto
Sei a posto per me
Con i tuoi bei denti
Sei a posto per me
Sei a posto per me
(Questo mondo di bifolchi)
Per me va bene
(Questo mondo di matti)
Sei a posto per me
Sei a posto per me


Morrissey parla probabilmente dei media e di parte del pubblico che in vari momenti della sua carriera lo hanno accusato di commenti razzisti e xenofobi. Nel testo le congratulazioni, le affermazioni positive verso se stesso, potrebbero significare che il fatto di essere sopravvissuto a tutto questo è di per sé un grande motivo di orgoglio.
