"Psycho Killer" - Talking Heads

*Anything by Joy Division
 
Dr Jekyl by The Damned

If Morrissey sang these three songs it would be unbelievable especially if I was there! 'cos the world's insane and were all to blame in a way'
 
"Dreaming" by Blondie. Because it's a classy song and Mozzer is one classy fella. "When I met you in the resturant, you could tell i was no debutante, You asked me "Whats' you're pleasure?", a Movie or a measure, I'll have a cup of tea, and tell you of my dreaming,"

"I don't want to live on charity, pleasure's real, or is it fantasy?, Reel to reel is living rarity, people stop and stare at me, we just walk on by, we just keep on dreaming"
Couldn't you picture Morrissey singing those lines?
 
If any of you get the chance check this out from the Italian Job soundtrack.

Fits with Morrissey's voice, Italian phase and would steer clear of the crash and burn reality of cover versions. Its also my partners favourite song so Morrissey would take it to another level for her.......

Matt Monroe

Questi giorni quando vieni il belle sole
la la la la la-la-la-la la la la la

On days like these when skies are blue and fields are green
I look around and think about what might have been
and then I hear sweet music float around my head
as I recall the many things we left unsaid
its on days like these that I remember
singing songs and drinking wine
while your eyes played games with mine

on days like these I wonder what became of you
maybe today you are singing songs with someone new
I'd like to think you're walking by those willow trees
remembering the love we knew on days like these
its on days like these that I remember
singing songs and drinking wine
while your eyes played games with mine

on days like these I wonder what became of you
maybe today you are singing songs with someone new

Questi giorni quando vieni il belle sole
la la la la la-la-la-la
 
Joy Division has already been mentioned, but the perfect JD song for Moz would have to be "Insight." If you've never heard it, here are the lyrics.

Guess your dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend,
But I don't care anymore,
I've lost the will to want more,
I'm not afraid not at all,
I watch them all as they fall,
But I remember when we were young.
Those with habits of waste,
Their sense of style and good taste,
Of making sure you were right,
Hey don't you know you were right?
I'm not afraid anymore,
I keep my eyes on the door,
But I remember....
Tears of sadness for you,
More upheaval for you,
Reflects a moment in time,
A special moment in time,
Yeah we wasted our time,
We didn't really have time,
But we remember when we were young.
And all God's angels beware,
And all you judges beware,
Sons of chance, take good care,
For all the people not there,
I'm not afraid anymore,
I'm not afraid anymore,
I'm not afraid anymore,
Oh, I'm not afraid anymore.


Or maybe he's beyond that dark stage in his life.
 
Frankie goes to Hollywood's Relax

Hmm... I suppose that would crack open the argument as to whether or not he is gay :o .

I s'pose it would be ok as long as he didn't record a video for it. :D Maybe he could find a way to segue this into Wide to Receive. :rolleyes:
 
Songs Morrissey Should Cover

"If You Knew" by Neko Case. I could hear his current band doing a nice job with the music, and the song was meant for Morrissey to sing.
