the use of the word Sweetie in THPGU .. just ... argh
Me too!!! Its got to be 'peel it back & bite me'I like explosive kegs..
What one lyric makes you shudder when you hear it from the new record?
Mine is:
did you really think we meant
all of those syrupy, sentimental things
that we said?
It's just the word syrupy.
I like explosive kegs. I like it when he puts in unexpected lyrics which jar. It's one of the things I like about him as a lyricist.
for me it would be on One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell when he sings
"And the smiling children tell you that you SMELL, Well"
But that's one of the reasons why I love MORRISSEY, his quirky lyrics
In "Something Is..." it sounds like he's saying something like, "the motion of taxis excites me, when you peel it back and bite me." I'm sure I must have misunderstood him, that's far too dirty.
Definitely:
"All of the gifts that they gave
Can't compare in any way
to the love I am now giving to you
Right here, right now
On the floor"
But I also hate all his whiny lyrics about bureaucracy:
"Uncivil servants unconcerned at how they frighten you"
"Spare priggish money-men who scared the life out of you
bailiffs with bad-breath
I will slit their throats for you"
"a QC full of fake humility"
We get it - the evil lawyers are trying to take your money away from you, and you hate them very, very much. But please, for the sake of art, can't you sing about getting chased by beer monsters at age 16 or something?
