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

I Couldn't Understand Why People Laughed

I stood upon the stage
I started to sing my song
I said I can rectify
Everything that's wrong

And i couldn't understand
Why people laughed

I couldn't understand
I collected my things and I
Left because now I
Understand I understand
I moved across the stage
I sang loud and proud in time
I said I look into
Animals eyes and I see
mine I see mine and I
couldn't understand why people laughed
I couldn't understand

I collected my things and I left
Because now I understand I understand

Spotlits on the stage
For the whole world to see
I sang I am she
And he is me, he is me
Then the lights on the stage
I'm now so poorly lit
I sing it because I
Could never speak it I could
Collected my things and I left

Because now I understand
I understand I
froze upon the stage
the soul opened wide
and people laughed so hard
that they cried
you

Non riuscivo a capire perché la gente rideva

Sono salito sul palco
Ho iniziato a cantare la mia canzone
Ho detto che potevo correggere
Tutto ciò che è sbagliato

E non riuscivo a capire
Perché la gente rideva

Non riuscivo a capire
Ho raccolto le mie cose e me ne sono
andato perché ora
Capisco, capisco
Ho attraversato il palco
Ho cantato forte e fiero a tempo di musica
Ho detto che guardo negli
gli occhi degli animali e vedo
i miei e vedo i miei e
non riuscivo a capire perché la gente rideva
Non riuscivo a capire

Ho raccolto le mie cose e me ne sono andato
Perché ora capisco, capisco

Faretti accesi sul palcoscenico
Perché tutto il mondo vedesse
Ho cantato che io sono lei
E lui è me, lui è me
Poi le luci sul palco
con cui ora sono così poco illuminato
Lo canto perché non
non potrei mai parlarne, non potrei
Ho raccolto le mie cose e me ne sono andato

Perché ora capisco
Capisco che io
congelato sul palcoscenico
l'anima mi si spalancò
e la gente ha riso così tanto
che hanno pianto
te
