Michael's Bones Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Rx0010 

Cover art for Michael's Bones lyrics by Morrissey

I always imagine it to be about a young lad who has suffered some sporting injury or injury at play (impetuous fun)

Just the unfortunate death of a boy who hasn’t even starting his life . (His unkissed lips are blue) which I think suggests he’s before the age of sexual maturity.

I do think some of the lyrics fit in with the Hungerford massacre. And as always the last few lines stump us again , pointing towards suicide and the brave act he has performed , viewed in a noble way by Morrissey

Summery -

I don’t have a clue what it’s really about but these questions keep me playing Morrissey year after year .
