In 2007, and early 2008, we put up polls for all 234 then released Morrissey and The Smiths-songs. More than 40,000 votes were cast and this resulted in The Morrissey/Smiths Top 100, or indeed, The Morrissey/The Smiths Top 234. In 2009/2010 we updated this chart with the 25 new songs that were released in 2008-2010. The final results of 2010, the 'Top 259', can be viewed here. Now, 4 years on, many people have asked me to continue with the polls as since the last one 25 new Morrissey-songs have been released.
So we'll start with the songs that were released in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and we'll end with the 18 songs from World Peace Is None of Your Business.
So here it goes. Let's hope for as big a turn-out as in 2007 and 2010 and, once again, vote with your heart, not with your mind.
Song 277: Mountjoy (Morrissey/Boz Boorer)
The Joy brings many things
it cannot bring you joy
sons of mothers huddled here
man and boy
1850 swung the doors
and human sewage swept inside
where victims speak in whines
and where the hardened cry
I was sent here by a
three-foot half-wit in a wig
I took his insults on the chin
and never did I flinch
A swagger hides the fear in here
by this rule we breathe
and there is no one upon on this earth
whom I'd feel sad to leave
You see
we all lose
we all lose
What those in power do to you
reminds us at a glance
how humans hate each others guts
and show it given a chance
We never say aloud the things
that we say in our prayers
'cos no one cares
Many executed here
by the awful lawfully good
but the only thing that makes me
cry
is when I see the sky
Brendan Behan's laughter rings
for what he had or hadn't done
for he knew then
as I know now
that for each and every one
of us
we all lose
rich or poor
we all lose
rich or poor
we all lose.
