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 26 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

Staircase At The University

March, April, May
She crammed night and day
I hadn't seen her smile in a while

Staircase at the university
She threw herself down
And her head split three ways

"If you don't get three A's"
Her sweet daddy said
"You're no child of mine
And as far as I'm concerned, you're dead"

Staircase at the university
She threw herself down
And her head split three ways

"If you don't get three A's"
Her loving boyfriend said
"Your shame is sure to stain
The family name"

Staircase at the university
She threw herself down
And her head split three ways

Crammin', jam in, pack'em in, rammin'
Chock-a-block books, power study, polish up
And if it breaks your heart then don't come running to me

 “Staircase at the University” is a song about a girl who is put under pressure to get good exam results by her family and friends, and as a result commits suicide.

Scalinata all'università

Marzo, Aprile, Maggio
Lei sgobbava giorno e notte
Non la vedevo sorridere da un po' di tempo

Scalinata dell'università
Si è buttata di sotto
E la sua testa si è spaccata in tre parti

“Se non prendi tre A”.
Il suo dolce papà disse
“Non sei figlia mia
E per quanto mi riguarda, sei morta”.

La scalinata dell'università
Lei si è buttata di sotto
E la sua testa si è spaccata in tre parti

“Se non prendi tre A”
Il suo fidanzato innamorato le disse
“La tua vergogna macchierà sicuramente
il nome della famiglia”.

La scalinata dell'università
Lei si è buttata di sotto
E la sua testa si è spaccata in tre parti
 
"Sgobbare duramente, ficcare in testa, mandare a memoria, stipare tutto
Libri stracolmi di pagine, studio intenso, ripasso finale
E se questo ti spezza il cuore allora non correre da me"


 “Staircase at the University” è una canzone che parla di una ragazza che viene messa sotto pressione dalla famiglia e dagli amici per ottenere buoni risultati agli esami e che, di conseguenza, si suicida.
