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

Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself

The sanest days are mad
Why don’t you find out for yourself
Then you’ll see the price
Very closely
Some men here
They have a special interest
In your career
They wanna help you to grow
And they wanna syphon all your dough
Why don’t you find out for yourself
Then you’ll see the glass
Hidden in the grass
You’ll never believe me, so
Why don’t you find out for yourself
Sick down to my heart
That’s just the way it goes
Some men here
They know the full extent of
Your distress
They kneel and pray
And they say:
"Long may it last!"
Why don’t you find out for yourself
Then you’ll see the glass
Hidden in the grass
Bad scenes come and go
For which you must allow
Sick down to my heart
That’s just the way it goes

Don’t rake up my mistakes
I know exactly what they are
and... what do YOU do?
Well... you just SIT THERE
I’ve been stabbed in the back
So many many times
I don’t have any skin
But that’s just the way it goes

Perché non lo scopri da solo

I momenti più sani sono quelli folli
Perché non lo scopri da te?
Allora vedrai il prezzo da pagare
molto da vicino
Certa gente qui
ha un interesse speciale
per la tua carriera
Vuole aiutarti a crescere
e prosciugare tutta la tua grana
Perché non lo scopri da te?
Allora vedrai il vetro
celato nell'erba
Tu non mi crederai mai, quindi
Perché non lo scopri da te?
Nauseato fin nell'animo
ecco com'è che funziona
Certa gente qui
vuole conoscere l'intera estensione
delle tue sofferenze
S'inginocchiano e pregano
e dicono:
"Che possa durare a lungo!"
Perché non lo scopri da te?
Allora vedrai il vetro
celato nell'erba
Le brutte scene vanno e vengono
e tu devi tenerne conto
Nauseato fin nell'animo
ecco com'è che funziona

Non rivangare i miei errori
So esattamente quali sono
e.. tu cosa fai?
Te ne resti lì seduto
Sono stato pugnalato alle spalle
così tante volte
che non ho più la pelle
Ma è così che funziona
