Morrissey, once so popular it was crazy then he seemed to just disappear. I always liked him and The Smiths. Witty lyrics that I found funny, but some took seriously. The break up of The Smiths seemed nasty and the arrivial of grunge pretty much pushed the Morrissey sound off the air on US radio.
But he has a new CD out You Are The Quarry and I like it. It has "that sound" and if full of "those lyrics" to match.
The last song gives a clue to what he has been thru. Here's some lyrics from You Know I Couldn't Last
CDs and T-shirts
Promos and God knows
You know I couldn't last
Someone please take me home
The teenagers, Who love you
They will wake up, yawn and kill you
The teenagers, Who love you
They will wake up, yawn and kill you
...
There's a cash register ringing and,
It weighs so heavy on my back
Someone please take me home
The critics who, Can't break you
They somehow help to make you
The critics who, Can't break you, Unwittingly they make you
So don't let the good days
Of the gold discs
Creep up and mug you
With evil legal eagles
You know I couldn't last
Accountants rampant
You know I couldn't last
...
Then in the end
Your royalties bring you luxuries
Your royalties bring you luxuries
Oh but, the squalor of the mind
