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

Bonfire Of Teenagers

Bonfire of teenagers
Which is so high in May north-west sky
Oh, you should've seen her leave for the arena
On the way, she turned and waved and smiled: "Goodbye"
Goodbye

And the silly people sing: "Don't Look Back in Anger"1
And the morons sing and sway: "Don't Look Back in Anger"
I can assure you I will look back in anger 'till the day I die

Bonfire of teenagers
Which is so high in May north-west sky
Oh, you should've seen her leave for the arena
Only to be vapourized
Vapourized

And the silly people sing: "Don't Look Back in Anger"
And the morons swing and say: "Don't Look Back in Anger"
I can assure you I will look back in anger 'till the day I die

Go easy on the killer
Go easy on the killer
Go easy on the killer
Go easy on the killer...

The album's title track is about the 2017 Manchester Arena bombings, which Morrissey described as "England's 9/11". On May 22 in 2017, 22 people died and hundreds were injured when a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in the foyer at the venue at the end of an Ariana Grande concert. In the wake of the tragedy, Oasis‘ single ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ became an anthem of love and solidarity for many in the city.

1 Reference to the fact that, during the funerals following the massacre, after a minute of silence, a crowd spontaneously sang “Don’t Look Back in Anger” by Oasis.

Falò di adolescenti

Falò di adolescenti
Che è così alto nel cielo di maggio del nord-ovest
Oh, avreste dovuto vederla partire per l'arena
Sulla strada, si è girata e ha salutato e sorriso: "Addio"
Addio

E la folla stupida canta: "Don't Look Back In Anger"1
E gli idioti cantano e ondeggiano: "Don't Look Back In Anger"
Posso assicurarvi che io guarderò indietro con rabbia fino al giorno della mia morte.

Falò di adolescenti
Che è così alto nel cielo di maggio del nord-ovest
Oh, avreste dovuto vederla andare verso l'arena
Solo per essere vaporizzata
Vaporizzata

E la stupida folla canta: "Don't Look Back In Anger"
E gli imbecilli oscillano e dicono: "Don't Look Back In Anger"
Posso assicurarvi che io guarderò indietro con rabbia fino al giorno della mia morte.

Andateci piano con l'assassino
Andateci piano con l'assassino
Andateci piano con l'assassino
Andateci piano con l'assassino...

La title track dell'album parla degli attentati alla Manchester Arena del 2017, che Morrissey ha descritto come "l'11 settembre dell'Inghilterra". Il 22 maggio 2017, 22 persone sono morte e centinaia sono rimaste ferite quando un attentatore suicida ha fatto esplodere un ordigno nel foyer del locale al termine di un concerto di Ariana Grande. Sulla scia della tragedia, il singolo degli Oasis "Don't Look Back In Anger" è diventato un inno di amore e solidarietà per molti in città. 

1 Riferimento al fatto che, durante i funerali successivi alla strage, dopo un minuto di silenzio, la folla ha intonato spontaneamente "Don't Look Back in Anger" ("Non voltarti indiero con rabbia") degli Oasis.
