In 2007, and early 2008, I put up polls for all 234 then released Morrissey and The Smiths-songs. More than 40,000 votes were cast and this resulted in The Morrissey/Smiths Top 100, or indeed, The Morrissey/The Smiths Top 234. In 2009/2010 we updated this chart with the 25 new songs that were released in 2008-2010. The final results of 2010, the 'Top 259', can be viewed here. Now, 4 years on, many people have asked me to continue with the polls as since the last one 25 new Morrissey-songs have been released.
So we'll start with the songs that were released in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and we'll end with the 18 songs from World Peace Is None of Your Business.
So here it goes. Let's hope for as big a turn-out as in 2007 and 2010 and, once again, vote with your heart, not with your mind.
Song 261: Safe, Warm Lancashire Home (Morrissey/Stephen Street)
Safe warm Lancashire home
How could I leave you
I don't know
Cold hard girl
Veneer is all that she was
A head on her shoulders like Dante
But the quotes don't hold
The punchline is old
And I don't belong to no one
Safe warm Lancashire home
How could I leave you
I don't know
Cold hard girl
Veneer must be all that she was
Well this is the view that now helps me
But the sky is clouds
As the world comes of age
And I don't belong to no one
The world comes of age
As the world comes of age
A blessing or a burden
It's a blessing or a burden
Voting should be something along these lines:
10: Perfection
9: Near perfect, brilliant
8: Really good Moz/Smiths song
7: Good Moz/Smiths song
6: OK, nothing special
5: Uninspired
4: Poor
3: Bad
2: Should never have been released
1: One of the worst songs ever, by anyone
Previous polls:
Treat Me Like a Human Being
Polls 258-1
