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 27 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

Many Icebergs Ago

Down the Ten Bells
electric sparks
gave me stirrings 'below'
many icebergs ago
Down the Ten Bells
she let down her hair
like slow snow
many icebergs ago
At the Bow Bells
with a tight sullen mouth
you firmly said "No."
many no's ago
In the Dundee Arms,
I said "my wood withers on a stern,"
you said "Yes... we know!!"
many icebergs ago
Down the Ten Bells
I was horrified to find
I enjoyed it so
many go's ago
Up the Green Man
I had begun to grow old
an abandoned chateau
many Merlot's ago
Down the White Hart
I lounge, awaiting Rousseau
outgrow the tarot
many icebergs ago
In the Grave Maurice
a smile with a twist
was a brand new plateau
many many's ago
Mistress Mattress
in just one lunchtime I grow
what can anyone know?
what can anyone know?
In the Sebright Arms
I must be murdered, I suppose
11 PM woe
many fractures ago
I am different with you
than with others I know
I was waiting for light
iceberg...flow
I dreamt of a dream
so mechanically male
he's a machine
...he was frightened, though
At the Blind Beggar, you
glanced the yes that means no
just slinking away
I am tired, Ma
until I'm given the kiss
the kiss that lies
it's too swift and too dry
so what else
but goodbye?


Ten Bells, Bow Bells, Dundee Arms, Green Man, White Hart, Grave Maurice, Sebright Arms, Blind Beggar are all pubs in East End London.

Molti iceberg fa

Giù al Ten Bells
scintille elettriche
mi hanno dato brividi "sotto"
molti iceberg fa
Giù al Ten Bells
lei ha sciolto i capelli
come neve lenta
molti iceberg fa
Al Bow Bells
con la bocca serrata e imbronciata
hai detto con fermezza "No".
molti "no" fa
Al Dundee Arms,
ho detto "il mio legno appassisce su una poppa",
tu hai detto "Sì... lo sappiamo!!"
molti iceberg fa
Giù al Ten Bells
ero inorridito nello scoprire
che mi piaceva così tanto
molti "forza!" fa
Su al Green Man
avevo cominciato a invecchiare
un castello abbandonato
molti Merlot fa
Giù al White Hart
mi rilasso, aspettando Rousseau
superare i tarocchi
molti iceberg fa
Al Grave Maurice
un sorriso con una svolta
era un plateau nuovo di zecca
molti "molti" fa
La "Signora Materasso"
in una sola pausa pranzo cresco
cosa può sapere qualcuno?
cosa può sapere qualcuno?
Al Sebright Arms
devo essere assassinato, suppongo
guai alle 11 di sera
molte fratture fa
Sono diverso con te
rispetto agli altri che conosco
Stavo aspettando la luce
mentre gli iceberg... scorrono via
Ho fatto un sogno
così meccanicamente maschile
lui è una macchina
...era spaventato, però
Al Blind Beggar, tu
hai lanciato uno sguardo da "sì" che significava "no"
semplicemente sgattaiolando via
Sono stanco, mamma
finché non mi viene dato il bacio
il bacio che mente
è troppo veloce e troppo secco
quindi cos'altro
se non addio?

Ten Bells, Bow Bells, Dundee Arms, Green Man, White Hart, Grave Maurice, Sebright Arms, Blind Beggar sono tutti bar (pub) di Londra, nella zona dell'East End.
