Wor(l)d of Morrissey
  We're back! Welcome to the world of Morrissey's lyrics.

This site and all of the work made to keep it updated during the last 25 years are dedicated to my beloved friend MaCa65 who suddenly left this lonely planet
and me without words. Throughout the short stretch of time that we have been given to spend together as close friends, we shared many things,
thoughts, passions and some bits of Life. Back in 1983, together we discovered a band called The Smiths and together since then, we followed Morrissey's career
as one of the most influential and inspiring singer/artist/poet of our age. Maca65 has always been a strong supporter since when I first launched WoM,
so this is and will always be entirely for you, my friend. -- David

Handsome Devil (Peel sessions)

All the streets are crammed with things
Eager to be held
I know what hands are for
And I'd like to help myself
You ask me the time
But I sense something more
And I would like to give you
What I think you're asking for
You, handsome devil
Oh you, handsome devil

Let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it

A boy in the bush is worth two in the hand
I think I can help you get through your exams

Oh you, handsome devil
Oh let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it

And when you're in your scholary room
Who will swallow whom

You, handsome devil
Let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say

There's more to life than books, you know
But not much more
There's more to life than books, you know
But not much more
Not much more

Oh you, handsome devil

Bel demonio (Peel sessions)

Ogni strada è stracolma di oggetti
Desiderosi di essere posseduti
So a cosa servono le mani
E vorrei poter aiutare me stesso
Tu mi chiedi che ore sono
Ma io avverto molto di più
E vorrei poterti dare
Quello che io credo tu stia chiedendo
Tu, bel demonio
Oh tu, bel demonio

Lascia che io posi le mani
Sulle tue mammelle
E lascia che posi il tuo capo
Sul letto matrimoniale
Ehi, ehi, ehi
Schiocco la frusta
E tu salti
Ma lo meriti
Lo meriti

Meglio un ragazzo oggi che due domani
Credo di poterti aiutare a passare gli esami

Oh tu, bel demonio
Oh lascia che io posi le mani
Sulle tue mammelle
E lascia che posi il tuo capo
Sul letto matrimoniale
Ehi, ehi, ehi
Schiocco la frusta
E tu salti
Ma lo meriti
Lo meriti

E quando sarai nella tua aula
Chi inghiottirà chi?

Tu, bel demonio
Lascia che io posi le mani
Sulle tue mammelle
E lascia che posi il tuo capo
Sul letto matrimoniale
Ehi, ehi, ehi

C'è di più nella vita che nei libri, sai
Ma non molto di più
C'è di più nella vita che nei libri, sai
Ma non molto di più
Non molto di più

Oh tu, bel demonio

A boy in the hand...: Adattamento del proverbio inglese citato nel testo originale "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", paragonabile al nostro "meglio un uovo oggi che una gallina domani".
