Morrissey is a glutton for punishment. I don’t mean that his lyrics are full of him wallowing in misery, though that’s certainly true, too. I mean that he keeps popping up on Random iTunes Weekends despite the fact that I am the only fan of his who reads this blog.
Today’s track is the ninth Random Weekend appearance by Morrissey, and that doesn’t count anything by The Smiths.
So attack away, haters. He’ll just be back for more!
Don’t take your life tonight
I know they take
And that they take in turn
And they give you nothing real
For yourself in return
But when they’ve used you
And they’ve broken you
And wasted all your money
And cast your shell aside
And when they’ve bought you
And they’ve sold you
And they’ve billed you for the pleasure
And they’ve made your parents cry
I will be here
Oh, believe me
I will be here
Believe me
Angel, don’t take your life
Some people have got no pride
They do not understand
The urgency of life
But I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I’m a glutton for punishment for being such a loyal blog follower that I am compelled to listen to these songs! All I can say is…. come on sing along with me (start Morrisey imitation now)… “I didn’t mean to lauuugh, I didn’t mean to cryyyy….”😓😩
