| Morrissey – Happy Lovers United Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The story of this one is pretty simple, but I find Morrissey's bittersweet tone just lovely. He has obviously planned everything meticulously - even lying to each of them to make his plan work - and suddenly it's done and they don't need him anymore; even though that's what he intended to happen he is still feeling lonely and, perhaps, underappreciated. It almost sounds as if the couple have actually warned him that he is intruding too much on their relationship, which he views as unfair. 'The silent glimpse I believe only lovers share' is touching too... he wouldn't know firsthand, he can only assume. Beautiful song, but are they ever not? |

| Morrissey – Suedehead Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
From a 1988 inteview with Sounds magazine: I mean, did he really sing, "It was a good lay" at the end of "Suedehead," his first solo single? "No, 'It was a bootleg'. I mean, good heavens, in my vocabulary? Please..." Honestly? "Well, have I ever been dishonest?" he laughs. "Do people think it was 'a good lay'?" I do. "And is that quite racy?" Oh, yes. "Well, it was actually 'a good lay'." And was there one? "No, I just thought it might amuse someone living in Hartlepool." Make of that what you will. |
