lol! I'm not deliberately trying to wind anyone up. I just find this song very dull, cringeworthy lyrics in places, doesn't seem to really go anywhere.
Just my opinion.
Cringeworthy lyrics??? Are we listening to the same song? I don't know how you can think that these lyrics are cringeworthy and not think that
most Morrissey lyrics are cringeworthy, since they echo all of his favorite themes. This song is essentially a summary of everything that makes Morrissey beautiful. I can see the annoyance with the repitition of "Life Is A Pigsty" itself (although I love it), but tell me please - how can these other lines be cringeworthy?
It's the same old S.O.S.
but with brand new broken fortunes
and once again I turn to you...
I am the same underneath
but this you
...you surely knew?
And if you don't know this, then
what do you know?
every second of my life
I live only live for you
and you can shoot me
and you can throw me off a train
but I still maintain...
And I've been shifting gears all of my life
but I'm still the same underneath
this you surely knew?
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you anymore
Can you please stop time?
can you stop the pain?
I feel too cold
and now I feel too warm again
can you stop this pain?
can you stop this pain?
even now, in the final hour of my life
I'm falling in love again
again
As far as I'm concerned, if you think those lyrics are cringeworthy, then you'd also have to toss aside a huge number of Morrissey lyrics, including "Seasick, Yet Still Docked" and "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me". Complete insanity.
