The vulgarity of his lyrics

Oh no! I have never thought about those lyrics in such a literal way

I'd never thought about them in a metaphorical way.

Reading this thread has made me realise how much innuendo there is in Morrissey's lyrics. I'd list the instances you've all missed out, but I wouldn't want to be 'vulgar'.

 

[Vauxhall Vixen]

"But you without clothes - I could not keep a straight face"

He also has this attitude to his own body as in the following line to the above:
"me without clothes - well a nation turns it's back and gags"
On the whole I think I prefer the innuendo though!

Can we calm it down? Deary me, sex does get people hot under the collar, doesn't it?

In reference to the quote above, Scarlet, can you explain this lyric to me please? I understand the context of "November..." to be about a disabled child, but why would two people's obsession with sex need to be stopped in order to not produce a disabled child? It's not as if lots of sex will necessarily create a child with disabilities. I have always wondered about this.

It means even love-mad or sex-mad people would stop short of loving the girl described in the song.

I've never thought of it like that, but now you've said it - it seems a lot more plausible than my theory . I always thought the "mad, mad lovers" drawing the line referred to one of those couples who are always all over each other in public, groping and kissing and whatnot, and then they see the disabled person of the title and suddenly stop - out of respect, or embarrassment, or both.

I, myself, do not believe it's about creating a child, with the line ''must pause and draw the line''. i always thought it was about having sex with the disabled girl

What the f*** does Jack the Ripper have to do with It's Not Your Birthday Anymore?

I don't think it's implied that a sex-mad union would be any more likely to create such a hideously disabled child; I've always taken it to mean that even the remote possibility that a life like this might be created by such an act gives pause........ Why do I think that? Because it punctuates jsut how hideous the unseen subject is.... even a one-in-a-million-chance of such an outcome douses the flame....

They're both drinks I ordered on Mardi Gras.

"And I can see throught everyboy's clothes" might it be vulgar or sexual or just talk 'bout a man w/ x-ray eyes?
(I am obviously joking).
