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

Sorry Doesn't Help

Sorries pour out of you
All wide-eyed simple smiles
Certain to see you through
Like a QC full of fake humility1
You say: "Oh, please forgive..."
You say: "Oh, live and let live..."
But sorry doesn't help us
And sorry will not save us
And sorry will not bring my teen years back to me
(Any time soon)

Forced back, it springs right out
Seasoned, you have no doubts
You lied about the lies that you told
Which is the full extent of what being you is all about
You say: "Oh, please forgive..."
You say: "Oh, live and let live..."
But sorry doesn't help us
Sorry will not save us
Sorry will not bring my love into my arms
(As far as I know...)

Sorry doesn't help us
Sorry will not save us
Sorry is just a word you find so easy to say...
So you say it anyway

Sorry doesn't help us
Sorry won't protect us
Sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong, my love

Dire scusa non serve

Scuse fuoriescono da te
Tutti sorrisi semplici con gli occhi spalancati
Alcuni per vederti attraverso
Come un alto avvocato pieno di falsa umiltà1
Tu dici: "Oh ti prego, perdona..."
Tu dici: "Oh, vivi e lascia vivere..."
Ma le scuse non ci servono
e le scuse non ci salveranno
e le scuse non mi riporteranno gli anni della gioventù
(non così presto)

Trattenute le emozioni, si aprono subito di scatto
Da uomo consumato, non hai dubbi
Hai mentito sulle menzogne che avevi raccontato
il che è la piena dimensione di quello che sei
Tu dici: "Oh ti prego, perdona..."
Tu dici: "Oh, vivi e lascia vivere..."
Ma le scuse non ci servono
e le scuse non ci salveranno
e le scuse non porteranno il mio amore fra le braccia
(per quanto ne so...)

Le scuse non ci servono
Le scuse non ci salveranno
"Scusa" è solo una parola che trovi tanto facile da dire...
Quindi la dici comunque

Le scuse non ci servono
Le scuse non ci proteggono
Le scuse non recupereranno tutto il bene andato a male, amor mio
