As the one and only Morrissey is coming to Stockholm this month, I thought it would be good to post one of the great mans lyrics each day until the gig at Hovet that have either inspired me, made me laugh, made me stroke my chin, made me sad, made me cry, made me…well I think you get the point.

Just as with Morrisseys lyrics you shouldn”t read too much into this, some of the reasons I like some of these lyrics are because they reflect things that have happened in my life or are how I felt at a certain time. I might explain some of them but as a lot of my colleagues and family read this I will do so selectively ;-)

So..

Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before

Nothings changed
I still love you, oh, I still love you
…only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love

I was delayed, I was way-laid
An emergency stop
I smelt the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make
A shy, bald, buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder
Who said lied Id to her ?

“And if a double-decker bus. Crashes into us” ….. seriously.
I like old Morrissey but he has had some of the worst lyrics in modern popular music.

I think the only one to beat him in terms of shady lyrics was Belinda Carsile’s : “I remember I was in a tanning salon, when I heard that River Phoenix was gone”

I think its dependent how you view them, some are sharp, some are bitter, some are witty, some are deliberately awful such as…

‘Your boyfriend, he went down on one knee
well, could it be he’s only got one knee?’
