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

Christian Dior

Christian Dior,
you wasted your life
on aroma and clothes
fabric and dyes

Christian Dior,
you wasted your life
on grandeur and style
and making the poor rich smile

You could have run wild
on the backstreets of Lyon or Marseille
reckless and legless and stoned
impregnating women
or kissing mad street-boys from Napoli
who couldn't even write their own name

Christian Dior
you wasted your life
sensually stroking the weaves of a sleeve

You could have run wild
on the backstreets of Lyon or Marseille
reckless and legless and stoned
impregnating women
or kissing mad street-boys from Napoli
who couldn't even spell their own name

Oh, Christian Dior
Oh, Christian Dior

When you look at me
failure is all that you see
I discipline my days just like Christian Dior

I could have run loudly and proudly
or forcible entry and
morally bankrupt
and never non-violent
and drawn to what scares me
and scared of what bores me
years alone will never be returned
Christian Dior

Lionised maverick - ah
design if you can - ah
the way to just be a man - ah
to just be a man - ah
Christian Dior
Christian Dior...

Christian Dior

Christian Dior,
hai sprecato la tua vita
su abiti e profumi
tessuti e tinte per capelli

Christian Dior,
hai sprecato la tua vita
fra grandeur e stile
facendo sorridere i poveri ricchi

Avresti potuto correre libero
fra i vicoli di Lione o Marsiglia
spericolato, ubriaco fradicio e strafatto
Avresti potuto mettere incinta delle donne
o baciare pazzi ragazzi di strada di Napoli
che non sapevano neppure scrivere il proprio nome

Christian Dior,
hai sprecato la tua vita
accarezzando con sensualità le pieghe di una manica

Avresti potuto correre libero
fra i vicoli di Lione o Marsiglia
spericolato, ubriaco fradicio e strafatto
Avresti potuto mettere incinta delle donne
o baciare pazzi ragazzi di strada di Napoli
che non sapevano neppure pronunciare il proprio nome

Oh, Christian Dior
Oh, Christian Dior

Quando mi guardi
vedi solo il fallimento
Organizzo i miei giorni come Christian Dior

Avrei potuto correre con veemenza ed orgoglio
oppure un ingresso forzato e
moralmente rovinato
e mai un non violento
e attirato da ciò che mi spaventa
e spaventato da ciò che mi annoia
Gli anni passati da solo non saranno mai restituiti
Christian Dior

Idolatrato anticonformista - ah
disegna se puoi - ah
il modo di essere soltanto un uomo - ah
di essere soltanto un uomo - ah
Christian Dior
Christian Dior...
