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

My Hurling Days Are Done

Time will mold you and craft you
But soon, when you're looking away
It will slide up and shaft you
Oh, time
Oh, time
No friend of mine

Mama, mama and teddy bear
Were the first full firm spectrum of time
Now my hurling days are done1
And there's no one to tell and there's nowhere to run

Time, a blossoming clover
But soon it will say, "Okay, come on son, bend over"
Oh, time
Oh, time
No friend of mine

Oh mama, mama and teddy bear
Were the first full firm spectrum of time
But now my hurling days are done
And there's no one to tell and there's nowhere to run

Time places no pressure on you
But soon it explains what it means by the Funky Alfonso
Oh, time
Oh, time
No friend of mine

Oh mama, mama and teddy bear
Were the first full firm spectrum of time
But now my hurling days are done
And there is no one to tell and there's nowhere to run

Time will send you an invoice
And you pay with your strength and your legs and your sight and your voice

Oh mama, mama and teddy bear
Were the first full firm spectrum of time
But now my hurling days are done
And there is no one to tell and there's nowhere to run

1 Hurling days are done is an Irish expression when a man is getting too old to play hurling, an Irish traditional sport.

2 A reference to the introduction to Frank Zappa's song "Father O’Blivion" (1974). Possibly a nod to Joe Chiccarelli, Morrissey's album producer - who worked with Zappa (recording / mixing 7 albums).

I miei giorni urlanti sono finiti

Il tempo ti plasmerà e ti scolpirà
Ma presto, quando guarderai lontano
scivolerà verso l'alto e ti travolgerà
Oh, tempo
Oh, tempo
Non sei mio amico

Mamma, mamma e orsacchiotto
Erano il primo spettro pieno e fermo del tempo
Ora i miei giorni da lanciatore sono finiti
E non c'è nessuno a cui dirlo e non c'è nessun posto dove fuggire

Il tempo, un trifoglio in fiore
Ma che presto dirà: "Ok, forza figliolo, piegati".
Oh, tempo
Oh, tempo
Non sei mio amico

Oh mamma, mamma e orsacchiotto
Erano il primo spettro pieno e fermo del tempo
Ma ora i miei giorni da lanciatore sono finiti
E non c'è nessuno a cui dirlo e non c'è nessun posto dove fuggire

Il tempo non fa pressione su di te
Ma presto ci spiegherà cosa intende per Funky Alfonso
Oh, tempo
Oh, tempo
Non sei mio amico

Oh mamma, mamma e orsacchiotto
Erano il primo spettro pieno e fermo del tempo
Ma ora i miei giorni da lanciatore sono finiti
E non c'è nessuno a cui dirlo e non c'è un posto dove fuggire

Il tempo ti manderà il conto
E tu pagherai con la tua forza, le tue gambe, la tua vista e la tua voce

Oh mamma, mamma e orsacchiotto
Sono stati il primo spettro pieno e fermo del tempo
Ma ora i miei giorni da lanciatore sono finiti
E non c'è nessuno a cui dirlo e non c'è un posto dove fuggire

1 "Hurling days are done" è un'espressione irlandese che indica un uomo che sta diventando troppo vecchio per giocare a hurling, uno sport tradizionale irlandese.

3 Un riferimento all'introduzione della canzone di Frank Zappa "Father O'Blivion" (1974). Forse un cenno a Joe Chiccarelli, produttore di vari album per Morrissey, che ha lavorato a lungo con Zappa (registrando e mixando 7 album).
