What's *the most* Morrissey lyric, in your view?

[Anonymous of Manchester]

Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly.
Though she needs you more than she loves you

 

[gordyboy9]

i was a small fat child in a welfare house.
there was only one thing i ever dreamed about.
fate has just handed it to me,whoopee.

 

[gashonthenail]

Leather elbows on a tweed coat - oh!
Is that the best you can do?

 

[Redacted]

Morrissey has said he does not get enough credit for his humor, and I agree
I hate this song, but I love this part

I spent the day in bed
I'm not my type
But I love my bed

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Morrissey has said he does not get enough credit for his humor, and I agree
I hate this song, but I love this part

I spent the day in bed
I'm not my type
But I love my bed

With you 100 percent. Hate that song, but that particular part is really great and very Morrissey.

 

[BookishBoy]

I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged "Take me with you ...
I don't care where you're going..."

But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know

 

[nicky wire's legs]

Monday - humiliation
Tuesday - suffocation
Wednesday - condescension
Thursday - is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me

 

[Redacted]

I have trouble picking lyrics out of this one, it's all so Morrissey, right down to the video with the bandage over his brow, licking his lips and honestly looking like he has a headache


God give me patience
Just no more conversation

The world may be ending
But look, I'm only human

Won't somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time?
About everything
Oh, somebody
From thinking all the time
So deeply, so bleakly
So bleakly all the time

Anyone remember the story about recording this? I think Mark E. Nevin told it?

 

[gashonthenail]

I'm writing this to say
In a gentle way
Thank you, but no
I will live my life as I
Will undoubtedly die - alone.

 

[BookishBoy]

Your leg came to rest against mine
Then you lounged with knees up and apart
And me and my heart, we knew
We just knew
For evermore

 

[The.Boy.Racer]

These tears I'm wailing
I spill not without reason
Remove them my dearest love
Take me, to the place I've been dreaming of
Where the grotesquely lonely meet the grotesquely lonely
And they whisper
Just very softly
Please be mine Dearest Love
Be my dearest love
I have hung on , hung on, hung on for one hundred years
For someone to shake me someone to wake me
If necessary someone to break me
My dearest love

 

[skull]

Tombs are full of fools who gave their life upon command
Of monarchy, oligarch, head of state, potentate
And now never coming back, never coming back

 

[Was I ever any good]

There’s gonna be some trouble
A whole house will need rebuilding
And everyone I love in the house
Will recline on an Analysis couch quite soon

You father cracks a joke and in the usual way empties the room.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

This man has written some mind-blowingly fantastic lyrics through the years.

 

[Harsh Truth]

Along this way
Outside the prison gates
I love the romance of crime
And I wonder :
Does anybody feel the same way I do?
And is evil just something you are
Or something you do

 

[Juan Dulces]

Or:

Can you please stop time?
Can you stop the pain?
I feel too cold
And now I feel too warm again
Can you stop this pain?
Can you stop this pain?
Even now in the final hour
Of my life
I'm falling in love again
Again
Again

One of the best. I love the huge cymbal crash right after he says the first line of that.

He certainly is dramatic - he's lived 20 years since then.

 

[Juan Dulces]

Tombs are full of fools who gave their life upon command
Of monarchy, oligarch, head of state, potentate
And now never coming back, never coming back

That whole verse is terrific. Morrissey the truth-teller is at it again.

 

[Juan Dulces]

Here's one of my very faves ----

So, have you ever met a bad winner? Well, how do you do?

 

[gordyboy9]

Here's one of my very faves ----

So, have you ever met a bad winner? Well, how do you do?

from his funniest song,striptease with a difference,deliberately trying to lose at strip poker.

 

[gordyboy9]

These tears I'm wailing
I spill not without reason
Remove them my dearest love
Take me, to the place I've been dreaming of
Where the grotesquely lonely meet the grotesquely lonely
And they whisper
Just very softly
Please be mine Dearest Love
Be my dearest love
I have hung on , hung on, hung on for one hundred years
For someone to shake me someone to wake me
If necessary someone to break me
My dearest love

would be in my top 5 every day of the week.
