What's the most subversive lyrics

that Morrissey wrote in your opinion?

for me "Oh Manchester... so much to answer for.."
 
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
 
I choose "Oh Manchester so much to answer for"

because all start from here, I mean his sensibily, revolt, musical history etc... Without his feelings about this town, Morrissey as we know it will not be the Morrissey we love I guess
 
Id like to drop my trousers to the queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
The poor and the needy
Are selfish and greedy on her terms


Love PTxx.
 
Re: What's the most subversive lyrics MORRISSEY has written

You're in the wrong forums.

Not so fast! Admit it, Kewpie. In 2005 if I had posted the line "These explosive kegs/between my legs", would you have guessed that was Kylie or Morrissey? :rolleyes:
 
I think we would all have been very worried if it was Kylie..
actually not worried, just curious..;)

:confused:
Long before Kylie, Morrissey has already written Reel Around The Fountain, Handsome Devil, Stretch Out and Wait etc.

Not really. No tortured sexual metaphor, no matter how depraved or anatomically unsound, would fail to find a home in the Minogue canon. Her artistry spreads wide.
 
I was bored and looked up some Kylie lyrics. Is she really that different?

I KEEP MINE HIDDEN
I get passionate
Just like you
But I have a little self-control
You just show your selfish attitude
Your emotion leaves me cold

LATE NIGHT, MAUDLIN STREET
I look at your picture
And stare into space
I think I must know
Every line on your face
And you'll never know
The feelings I keep
Like the man in the moon
You're way out of reach

So dreams are all I have
Because we're worlds apart
All alone with my secret heart

LAST NIGHT I DREAMT THAT SOMEBODY LOVED ME
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)

BREAK UP THE FAMILY
I'm through with the past
Ain't no point in looking back
The future will be
And did I forget to mention that I found a new direction
And it leads back to me?

SORROW WILL COME IN THE END
You're clinging to a lie
Still you hope to try
And save your face, ooh
It's a no-win situation
There ain't gonna be a saving grace

Because you're sticking to a story
It really makes no sense
No judge or jury could ignore the evidence

COME BACK TO CAMDEN
I remember the day you went away
What was I to do
If you came home, one of these days
Would I hold back or would I say

BACK TO THE OLD HOUSE
You take a piece of me every time you leave
and never realize that way I feel about you
my tongue gets tied and my mouth gets dry
I wanna tell you but I don't know how to

ALSATIAN COUSIN
Then I discovered
That you were cheating
You were cheating on me
But I was the last to know
Ooh, ooh

I'VE CHANGED MY PLEA TO GUILTY
I've got to be
Got to be certain
I've got to be so sure
I've had my share of hearts broken
And I don't wanna take that any more

I KNOW IT'S OVER
Love is not a gadget
Love is not a toy
When you find the one you love
She'll fill your heart with joy

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT
Oh no, the lights go green
Time out, do you know what I mean?
We're on our own
I ain't going home
Out there I wanna be
No more bumper-to-bumper cars for me
We're on the highway
Put it on replay
 
It does indeed spread wide. God bless Kylie and her artistry!
Her lyrics are flexible. Just about everyone has done a cover for the La la la song. When will Morrissey do one:rolleyes:?



This is a cover by the Fruitellas of Can't Get You Out Of My Head

I'm The One
Can You Hear Me?
I'm Connecting With You
Can You Feel Me?
I'll Do Anything To Have You Near Me
I Was Wondering, Will You Reach Me?
-Kylie
And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool to pass me by -Morrissey
 
"You don't think I'll make it ....
I never said I wanted to.....
Well, did I?"

from Tomorrow...
 
I'm, I'm throwing my arms around
Around Paris because
Only stone and steel
Accept my love

I'm, I'm throwing my arms around
Paris because
Nobody wants my love
Nobody wants my love
Nobody needs my love
Nobody wants my love

(complete with studder. :p)
