Consider green lakes
And the idiocy of clocks
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocence
A broken arrow in a bloody pool
The wound in the face
Of midnight proposals
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocence
In the shadow of his smile
In the shadow of his smile
In the shadow of his smile
In the shadow of his smile
All our dreams have melted down
We are hiding in the bushes
From dead men
Doing Douglas Fairbanks' stunts
All our stories burnt
Our films lost in the rushes
We can't paint any pictures
As the moon had all our brushes
Extracting wasps from stings in flight
Who killed Mr. Moonlight?
Who killed Mr. Moonlight
In the shadow of his smile
Who killed Mr. Moonlight
In the shadow of his smile
this is the 3rd of the 3 songs...although I would put some Ben Folds Five and Coldplay songs here as honorable mentions...brick by ben folds, and several by Coldplay..namely Yellow but there are plenty of others..ahh and throw in Tori Amos as well for good measure..

Berlin-Lou Reed
In Berlin by the wall
You were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice
We were in a small cafe
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
Oh, honey it was paradice
this was the 2nd song with awesome piano...the third is coming...

USED TO BE A SWEET BOY
Used to be a sweet boy
Holding so tightly
To Daddy's hand
But that was all
In some distant land
Blazer and tie
And a big bright healthy smile
Used to make all
Of our trials worthwhile
Used to be a sweet boy
And I'm not to blame
But something went wrong
Something went wrong
And I know
I'm not to blame
Something went wrong
Can't be to blame
Ah ...
Not sure what happened...but I have some ideas...

DO YOUR BEST AND DON'T WORRY
This is how I feel most of the time. It is another pick me up song by Morrissey and when you feel like your motivation comes from guilt or shame from some religion or other...this is a very welcoming ditty...just do the best you can and deal with it...you cannot do more than what you are capable of...so let the balance ride..
Compare the best of their days
With the worst of your days
You won't win
With your standards so high
And your spirits so low
At least remember ...
This is you on a bad day, you on a pale day
Just do your best and don't ...
Don't worry, oh
The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair
See the best of how they look
Against the worst of how you are
And again, you won't win
With your standards so high
And your spirits so low
At least remember ...
This is you on a drab day, you in a drab dress
Just do your best and don't ...
Don't worry, oh
The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair
Just do your best and don't ...
Don't worry, oh
The way you watch yourself is oh, so unfair
Just do your best and don't ...
Don't worry, oh
The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair
Just do your best and don't ...
Don't worry, oh
Do your best and don't ...

SEASICK, YET STILL DOCKED
I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go
Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way ...
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I've got no charm
Mmm...
Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day
And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by
Love this song...just awesome!

Asleep-The Smiths
This is one of 3 songs whose piano is exquisite and I can listen to this to sleep anytime I cannot sleep well..which tends to be often...either this or Berlin from Lou Reed. For the ULTRA paranoid ready to label me with some stupid 21st century label For everyone's mental state: Don't get all bent out of shape...I've gotten this far...32 years and still alive- i heard this 20 years ago and I am still here..get over it and live your own lives! Sometimes it IS just a song...
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go
There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well ...
Bye bye
Bye bye

Unloveable-The Smiths
All I will say about this song..I wore a LOT of black in High school and it had nothing to do with the song...that was simply coincidental...well that and I can be a rather strange one at times..but not in a bad way..more like a quirky way...it can be either endearing to some or irritating to others...
Oh ...
I know I'm unloveable
You don't have to tell me
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours
Oh ...
I know I'm unloveable
You don't have to tell me
Oh, message received
Loud and clear
Loud and clear
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours
I know I'm unloveable
You don't have to tell me
For message received
Loud and clear
Loud and clear
Message received
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours
I wear Black on the outside
'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside
I wear Black on the outside
'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside
And if I seem a little strange
Well, that's because I am
If I seem a little strange
That's because I am
But I know that you would like me
If only you could see me
If only you could meet me
Oh ...
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours
Mmm ...
Oh ...
Oh ...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME GET WHAT I WANT
This song is best known in Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the museum when the instrumental is being played by..Dream Academy..I love that version as much as the original...although hearing it live at Hollywood Bowl was the icing on the cake.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME GET WHAT I WANT
Good times for a change
see, the luck I've had
can make a good man
turn bad
So please please please
let me, let me, let me
let me get what I want
this time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
see, the life I've had
can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time
Lord knows it would be the first time
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME GET WHAT I WANT
Good times for a change

Accept Yourself-The Smiths
Not all of Morrissey is depressing...I like to listen to this as well as others in order to get over my incessant whining and pity parties...I hate that I am this way.,..but as the song says...Accept yourself...
Everyday you must say
so how do I feel about my life
anything is hard to find
when you will not open your eyes
when will you accept yourself?
I am sick and I am dull
and I am plain
how dearly I'd love to get carried away
oh but dreams have a knack of just not coming true
and time is against me now
Who and what to blame?
anything is hard to find
when you will not open your eyes
when will you accept yourself?
for heaven's sake
anything is hard to find
when you will not open your eyes
everyday you must say
how do I feel about the past
Others conquered love - but I ran
I sat in my room and I drew up a plan
but plans can fall through as so often they do
and time is against me now
And there's no one left to blame
tell me when will you
when will you accept your life
the one that you hate
for anything is hard to find
when you will not open your eyes
everyday you must say
how do I feel about my shoes
They make me awkward and plain
how dearly I would love to kick with the fray
but I once had a dream and it never came true
and time is against me now
time is against me now
And there's no one but yourself to blame
anything is hard to find
when you will not open your eyes
anything is hard to find
for heaven's sake
anything is hard to find
when you will not open your eyes
when will you accept yourself?
when?
Everyday you must say

Some girls are bigger than others
For some reason...I just like this song...can't imagine why...lol
From the ice-age to the dole-age
there is but one concern
I have just discovered
Some girls are bigger than others
some girls are bigger than others
some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers
As Antony said to Cleopatra
as he opened a crate of ale
oh I say
Some girls are bigger than others
some girls are bigger than others
some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers
From the ice-age to the dole-age
there is but one concern
I have just discovered
Some girls are bigger than others
some girls are bigger than others
some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers
As Antony said to Cleopatra

oh I say
Some girls are bigger than others
some girls are bigger than others
some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers
NEVER HAD NO ONE EVER
When you walk without ease
on these streets where you were raised
I had a really bad dream
it lasted 32 years, 9 months, and 27 days
And I know that, I know that
I never had no one ever
Now I'm outside your house
I'm alone
and I'm outside your house
I hate to intrude
I know I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
And I never, never had no one ever
I never had no one ever
on these streets where you were raised
I had a really bad dream
it lasted 32 years, 9 months, and 27 days
And I know that, I know that
I never had no one ever
Now I'm outside your house
I'm alone
and I'm outside your house
I hate to intrude
I know I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
And I never, never had no one ever
I never had no one ever
I Know It's Over- The Smiths
I love this song more than you will ever know...
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
and as I climb into an empty bed
oh well, enough said
I know it's over still I cling
I don't know where else I can go, mother
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
handsome groom, give her room
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
although she needs you more than she loves you
And I know it's over
still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
it's over, it's over, it's over
I know it's over
and it never really began
but in my heart it was so real
and you even spoke to me and said:
"If you're so funny
then why are you on your own tonight?
and if you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very entertaining
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very good looking
why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know because tonight is just like any other night
that's why you're on your own tonight
with your triumphs and your charms
while they are in each other's arms"
It's so easy to laugh
it's so easy to hate
it takes strength to be gentle and kind
it's over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
it's so easy to hate
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
it's over, over, over
Love is natural and real
but not for you, my love
not tonight my love
love is natural and real
but not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
and as I climb into an empty bed
oh well, enough said
I know it's over still I cling
I don't know where else I can go, mother
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
do you think you can help me?

The Queen Is Dead-The Smiths
Farewell to this land's cheerless marches
hemmed in like a boar between golden arches
her very Lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing
I say Charles don't you ever crave
to appear on the front of the Daily Mail
dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?
And so I checked all the registered historical facts
and I was shocked into shame to discover
how I'm the 18th pale descendent
of some old polygamist or other
Oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
some nine year old tough who peddles drugs
I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were
So I broke into the Palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano"
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but when you are tied to your mother's apron
no-one talks about castration
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
like love and law and poverty
these are the things that kill me
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but the rain that flattens my hair
these are the things that kill me
Passed the pub that saps your body
and the church who'll snatch your money
the Queen is dead, boys
and it's so lonely on a limb
Pass the pub that wrecks your body
and the church, all they want is your money
the Queen is dead, boys
and it's so lonely on a limb
Life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
hemmed in like a boar between golden arches
her very Lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing

to appear on the front of the Daily Mail
dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?

LAST NIGHT I DREAMT THAT SOMEBODY LOVED ME-The Smiths
Last night I dreamt
that somebody loved me
no hope - but no harm
just another false alarm
Last night I felt
real arms around me
no hope - no harm
just another false alarm
so, tell me how long
before the last one?
and tell me how long
before the right one?
this story is old - I KNOW
but it goes on

I STARTED SOMETHING I COULDN'T FINISH-The Smiths
I wonder at times if some people should LIVE in other countries for too long...sometimes that is the zone that people are clearly never meant to go
The lanes were silent
with nothing or no one around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
with a hard-faced
three-word gesture
I started something
I forced you into a zone
and you were clearly
never meant to go
hair brushed and parted
typical me, typical me
typical me
I started something
...and now I'm not too sure
I grabbed you by the guilded beams
that's what Tradition means
and I doused another venture
with a gesture
that was...absolutly vile
I started something
forced you to a zone
and you were clearly
never meant to go
hair brushed and parted
typical me, typical me
typical me
I started something
...and now I'm not too sure
I garbbed you by the guilded beams
that's what Tradition means
and now nine years' hard-labour
seems..fair enough
I started something

There's a Place in Hell for Me & My Friends-Morrissey
There is a place
Reserved
For me and my friends
And when we go
We all will go
So you see
I'm never alone
There is a place
With a bit more time
And a few more
Gentler words
And looking back
We will forgive
(we had no choice
We always did)
All that we hope
Is when we go
Our skin
And our blood
And our bones
Don't get in your way
Making you ill
The way they did
When we lived
Oh, there is a place
A place in hell
Reserved
For me and my friends
And if ever i
Just wanted to cry
Then I will
Because I can
Reserved
For me and my friends
And when we go
We all will go
So you see
I'm never alone
There is a place
With a bit more time

You Have Killed Me-Morrissey
Pasolini is me
'Accattone' you'll be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
Piazza Cavour, what's my life for?
Visconti is me
Magnani you'll never be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes, I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
Who am I that I come to be here?..
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
And there is no point saying this again
There is no point saying this again
But I forgive you, I forgive you
Always I do forgive you
'Accattone' you'll be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
Piazza Cavour, what's my life for?
Visconti is me
Magnani you'll never be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes, I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
Who am I that I come to be here?..
As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me
And there is no point saying this again
There is no point saying this again
But I forgive you, I forgive you
Always I do forgive you
I'm Not Sorry-Morrissey
On returning
I can't believe this world is still turning
the pressure's on
because the pleasure hasn't gone
and I'm not sorry for
for the things I've done
and I'm not looking for
just anyone
On competing
when will this tired heart stop beating?
it's all agame
existence is only a game
and I'm not sorry for
for the the things I've done
and I'm not looking for
just anyone
I'm slipping below the water-line
I'm slipping below the water-line
reach for my hand and
the race is won
reject my hand and
the damange is done
I'm slipping below the water-line
I'm slipping below the water-line
the woman of my dreams she
never came along
the woman of my dreams well
there never was one
and I'm not sorry for
for the things I've said
there's a wild man
in my head
there's a wild man
in my head
I can't believe this world is still turning
the pressure's on
because the pleasure hasn't gone
and I'm not sorry for
for the things I've done
and I'm not looking for

for the things I've said
there's a wild man
in my head
there's a wild man

I Have Forgiven Jesus-Morrissey
When I read this the first time, I like most saw it as blasphemous, but when I looked at it in a different perspective...such as a man or woman living with a higher sex drive than their sex resentful partner...I then understood this on a whole different level...this person with the desire and love and with nobody to share it with is simply a very lonely and affection starved person, possibly the same may even apply to the other who has low sex drive..because they want to love someone in a different way, so they are incapable of expressing their love as they'd like.
I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid
with a nice paper-round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
with God's help I know
I'll always be near to you
but Jesus hurt me
when he deserted me / but
I have forgiven Jesus
for all the desire
He placed in me when there's nothing I can do
about desire
I was a good kid
through hail and snow I'd go
just to moon you
I carried my heart in my hand
do you understand?
do you understand?
Jesus hurted
when he deserted me, but
I have forgiven Jesus
for all of the love
He placed in me
When there's no-one I can turn to with this love
Monday - humiliation
Tuesday - suffocation
Wednesday - condescension
Thursday - is just pathetic
by Friday - life has killed me
by Friday - life has killed me
Why did you give me
so much desire?
when there is nowhere I can go
to offload this desire
Why did you give me
so much love
in a loveless world
when there is no one I can turn to
to unlock all this love
Why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
Jesus - do you hate me?
Why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin
do you hate me? do you hate me?
do you hate me? do you hate me?

That's How People Grow Up -Morrissey
I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me
But that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me
and see there's someone of their dreams
I was wasting my time
Waiting for love
For the love that never comes from
Someone who does not exist
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
Let me live before I die
Oh, not me, not I
I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on the deathbed said
'There are other sorrows too'
I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
So yes, there are things worse in life than
Never being someone's sweetie
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
As for me I'm ok
For now anyway

All You Need is Me-Morrissey
You hiss and groan and you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away
And that's because
All you need is me
You roll your eyes up to the skies
Mock horrified
But you're still here
All you need is me
There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me
You bang your head against the wall
And say you're sick of it all
Yet you remain
'Cause all you need is me
And then you offer your one and only joke
And you ask me what will I be
When I grow up to be a man
Me? Nothing!
There's a soft voice singing in your head
Who can this be? 1
I do believe it's me
There's a naked man standing, laughing in your dreams
You know who it is
But you don't like what it means
There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me
I was a small, fat child in a welfare house 2
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
Fate has just
Handed it to me - whoopee
You don't like me, but you love me
Either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You don't like me, but you love me
Either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
But you don't ever go away
And that's because
All you need is me
You roll your eyes up to the skies
Mock horrified
But you're still here
All you need is me
