Morrissey

He often begins his gigs with "I have a lovely singing voice" as on this gig in Copenhagen (*recorded by me from gallery at Falconer), and he always opens gigs with "Queen Is dead" and with picture of Queen digging her nose on the big screen behind him.

Nice lyrics I must agree. I hadn't realise that Handsome Devil was a song too though using the term 'mammary glands' in a song takes me back to my human biology lessons.......which may have been his point? 🙂 He has a great backing band too but the melody is a bit monotonous and seems to discord with the lyrics for me.

I'm wondering who would be a good songwriting partner for him?

My Deares Love

These tears I'm wailing
I spill not without reason
Remove them my dearest love my
Take me, to the place I've been dreaming of
Where the grotesquely lonely meet the grotesquely lonely

Just very softly
Please be mine Dearest Love
Be my dearest love
Be my dearest love
I have hung on , hung on, hung on for one hundred years
For someone… Full lyrics on Google Play Music
