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

To Me You Are A Work Of Art

I live the life
I feel the pain
To sing this song
To tell the tale
I wish I'd never even heard the song
I see the world
It makes me puke
But then I look at you and know
That somewhere there’s a someone who can soothe me

To me you are a work of art
And I would give you my heart
That’s if I had one

I see the world
It makes me puke
But then I look at you and know
That somewhere there’s a someone who can soothe me

To me you are a work of art
And I would give you my heart
That’s if I had one, had one

To me you are a work of art
And I would give you my heart
That’s if I had one


In July, 17 2006 during the Benicassim date of the tour, Morrissey introducing the song said "Next song is To Me You Are A Work Of Art... and I don't mean Whistler's Mother". The reference is about "The Whistler's Mother", a painting by James Abbott McNeill. You can see it here.

Per me sei un'opera d'arte

Vivo una vita
Avverto il dolore
di cantare questa canzone
di raccontare la storia
Vorrei non aver mai sentito cantare
Vedo il mondo
Mi dà il vomito
Ma poi guardo te e so che
da qualche parte c'è un qualcuno che può placarmi

Per me tu sei un'opera d'arte
ed io ti darei il mio cuore
cioè, se ne avessi uno

Vedo il mondo
Mi dà il vomito
Ma poi guardo te e so che
da qualche parte c'è un qualcuno che può placarmi

Per me tu sei un'opera d'arte
ed io ti darei il mio cuore
cioè, se ne avessi uno, uno

Per me tu sei un'opera d'arte
ed io ti darei il mio cuore
cioè, se ne avessi uno


Nella data del tour 2006 a Benicassim (Spagna, 17 luglio), Morrissey, annunciando il brano, ha detto "La prossima canzone è To Me You Are A Work Of Art... e non intendo La Madre di Whistler". Il riferimento è al dipinto "The Whistler's Mother" di James Abbott McNeill, visibile qui.
