Things I learned from Morrissey & The Smiths

[peptastic]

Morrissey has provided a lot of life lessons in his songs.

To start off with-
Don't bother going to work.
Six months is a long time.
Magistrates spend their lives hiding their mistakes. [Envy makes them cry.]
You love someone if you scratch their name on your arm with a fountain pen.
A vicar in a tutu isn't strange.
Love is a miserable lie.
Girlfriend in a coma is really serious.
You must be a fool to pass Moz by.

Outside of song lyrics-
Happiness is being Terence Stamp.

 

[Rosary]

Nice thread.
Morrissey has a deep understanding and realizing of people, situations and life in general and I admire him for expressing it in such pure and simple words.

*It’s possible to be OK by yourself
and you don’t have to need anyone
or anyone’s benevolence to make sense.

*There are more than enough
To fight and oppose
Why waste good time
Fighting the people you like.

*If you look down on poor people in modest houses, chances are that you got bitten by the green monster of jealousy because they might be poor but they might be happier ... than you. (Teenage Dad)

 

[Mr Reynolds]

I have learned never to p**s Morrissey off.

 

[peptastic]

Being hit by a 10 pound bus is a heavenly way to die if your with the one you love.

Ask!
{yeah liking someone for 6 years here now.]

Who says he lied because he'd never.

 

[Orson Swells]

Never have your best friend on the payroll. (It's not going to work out.)

 

[Amy]

Shyness is nice.
He doesn't mind if you forget him.
There is no such thing in life as normal.

...pay your colleagues fairly and don't smother your friends.

He's OK by himself.
