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

Teenage Dad On His Estate

You chase in the rat-race
And you always feel so hollow
You marry because it's expected of you
And it only makes you feel more lonely

But still you look down on the teenage dad on
On his estate
He's happy so leave him alone
With his baby
And his modest home
He's happy so leave him alone
With his Jensen Interceptor
It's just a runaround

You defer to the views of the television news
Let someone do your thinking for you
And you still buy a daily newspaper
And you find everything there but the news

And still you look down on the teenage dad on
On his estate
He's happy so leave him alone
With his baby
And his modest home
He's happy so leave him alone
With his Jensen Interceptor
It's just a runaround

You become your parents' parent
And you love them
But you can't help feeling used
And you hate the teenage dad on his estate
Because he's poor but he's happier than you
They're all laughing at you
You're a dipper, a slider, cart-horse provider
Nobody cares about you
Just as long as you're out there bringing it in
Despising the grin on the face of the boy
With the methadone
With his methadone
He's happy so leave him alone
With his methadone
He's happy so leave him alone

Jensen Interceptor: a sports car with engine by Chrysler.

Il ragazzo padre nella sua condizione

Gareggi nella corsa per il successo
e ti senti sempre così vuoto
Ti sposi perchè è quello che ci si aspetta da te
e questo non fa che farti sentire ancora più solo

Ma guardi ancora dall'alto in basso il ragazzo padre
nella sua condizione
Lui è felice, lascialo in pace!
Col suo bambino
e la sua casa modesta
E' felice, lascialo in pace!
Con la sua Jensen Interceptor
E' solo un sacco di scuse

Ti rimetti alle opinioni delle notizie in TV
Lasci che qualcuno pensi al posto tuo
Eppure compri lo stesso il giornale
e dentro ci trovi tutto tranne le notizie

E guardi ancora dall'alto in basso il ragazzo padre
nella sua condizione
Lui è felice, lascialo in pace!
Col suo bambino
e la sua casa modesta
è felice, lascialo in pace!
Con la sua Jensen Interceptor
E' solo un sacco di scuse

Diventi il genitore dei tuoi genitori
e li adori
ma non puoi evitare di sentirti usato
e detesti il ragazzo padre nella sua condizione
perché è povero ma è più felice di te
Tutti ridono di te
Tu sei un merlo canterino, uno alla deriva, uno che vende cavalli da tiro
A nessuno importa di te
Finché sei là fuori a cavartela
e a disprezzare il largo sorriso sulla faccia del ragazzo
con il metadone
Col suo metadone
è felice, lascialo in pace!
Col suo metadone
è felice, lascialo in pace!

Jensen Interceptor: è un'auto sportiva, monta un motore Chrysler.
