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 Truth About Ruth

I am a sleuth, I dig up the truth
I ferret the facts, even when there are none
A silent child, an elegant youth
This led me to find the truth about Ruth

Ruth is John
Ruth is John
We all do what we can
Just to get along

The life you lead, straightforward and bland
Everything happens according to plan
But some people fight just to take root
In a world ill-equipped for the truth about Ruth

Ruth is John
Ruth is John
We all do what we can
Just to get along

Oh, bully for you, oh, bully for you
Your groin and your face, they slip right into place
So masoned and carved, your arrow is drawn
You know who you are, yet you have no idea

Ruth is John
Ruth is John
And sooner or later
We are all calmed down

La verità su Ruth

Sono un investigatore, scovo la verità
Dò la caccia ai fatti, anche quando non ce ne sono.
Una bambina silenziosa, una giovinezza elegante
Questo mi ha portato a scoprire la verità su Ruth

Ruth è John
Ruth è John
Tutti facciamo quello che possiamo
Solo per andare avanti

La vita che conduciamo, semplice e insipida
Tutto accade secondo i piani
Ma alcune persone lottano solo per mettere radici
In un mondo mal equipaggiato per la verità su Ruth

Ruth è John
Ruth è John
Tutti facciamo quello che possiamo
Solo per andare avanti

Oh, bullo per te, oh, bullo per te
Il tuo inguine e la tua faccia, scivolano al loro posto
Così scolpiti e murati, la tua freccia è disegnata
Sai bene chi sei, eppure non ne hai idea

Ruth è John
Ruth è John
E prima o poi
Ci calmiamo tutti
