Doubtful.Maybe it’ll grow on me
Agree. He is just lazy now. Anyone could have written those lyrics. He put that shit together on the way to the studio.The well has run dry. It's all just fluff now...
At least with the last two albums there was some effort to the lyrics, some effort to say something striking.
Now that's gone too. How sad. But time breaks us all.
He'll keep showing up but will no longer be receiving a paycheck. Morrissey likes to avoid confrontation whenever possible.He’s been sacked.
It’s just that Steve can’t find anyone to communicate the message to him.

What set Morrissey apart from everyone else was his lyrics. Lots of artists have great voices but very few can write great, life altering lyrics. Let's face it, be honest. Most of us could have easily written those lyrics. He is no longer special or iconic.
Both excellent reference pointsLets go for the poppy side of The Cure then.
Or how about Erasure?
And he’s slagged the Thompson Twins off, to the gallows with you Mr Ray....You seem to be angry, and letting off steam by posting complaints
which I guess is healthy.
But where else can you go with it? I don’t see any benefit beyond that. I mean, you’re definitely not changing anyone’s mind here, for most seem to be enjoying his new direction, and living for today.

I still remember buying Erasure’s Wild LP, and thinking it was better than Sgt Pepper. And it was. Kind of.Both excellent reference points

At Blues nightclub, Ashton Under Lyne, midnight, any Saturday in the 90s, the sarcasm would be wasted. As would the clientele.Sarcasm >>> Yes, Erasure have made lots of records that are better than A Day in the Life. <<< Sarcasm

As it seems to be an anthem which he’d love to hear sung back at him at the moment, I suspect Knockabout will open the forthcoming gigs.
