Morrissey - Mountjoy Lyrics
The joy brings many things
It cannot bring you joy
Sons of mothers huddle here
Men and boys
1850 swung the doors
And human sewage swept inside
Where victims speak in whines
And where the hardened cried
I was sent here by a 3 foot half-wit in a wig
I took his insults on the chin, and never did I flinch
A swagger hides the fear in here
By this rule we breathe
Who I’d feel sad to leave
You see we all lose
We all lose
What those in power do to you
Reminds us at a glance
How humans hate each others guts
And show it given a chance
We never say aloud the things
That we say in our prayers
Cause no one cares
Many executed here
By the awful lawfully good
But the only thing that makes me cry
Is when I see the sky
Brendan Behan's laughter rings
For what he had or hadn’t done
For he knew then as I know now
That for each and every one of us
We all lose
Rich or poor, we all lose
Rich or poor, they all lose

What twat gave this a dislike Shame on you 😔
Mountjoy is a prison in Dublin
I love his lyrics and his brutal honesty that no one else has the stones to admit or write about.
What critics don't really understand, is that he's just offering ONE PERSPECTIVE on any given topic. There's a lot more to this complex world than "how humans hate each other's guts" for example, and he would agree with that.
He is simply offering ONE VARIATION of his views, and just like they value their freedom of the press, he should be allowed to express himself freely too and without being attacked for it, and without some incompetent, talentless, jackass journalist twisting his words around.
They're struggling for a reason because THEY ALL SUCK and when they all go under one day, Moz's name will live on and hopefully he will keep making music into his old age.
This is why I hate these dirty and corrupt tabloids like the Guardian, Der Speigel, The Independent and others because of their narrow-mindedness and incompetence to understanding people.
VIVA MORRISSSEY!!!
#fuckderspeigel #fucktheguardian #fuckmainstreamnewsmedia
Mike F I couldn’t agree with you more I salute you sir 👍
najjjjj
MOZ SO SO MOZ
such beautiful lyric, mozfather x
man and boy
the late Benjamin Lo-Fi is grinning in his casket to hear this plaintive melody...
A theme song to the curent brutalities within the world.
exactly what I thought
Another masterpiece, the grim reality "We never say aloud the things that we say in our prayers, 'cause no one cares"
Moz forever
A masterpiece
"what those in power do to you reminds us at a glance how humans hate each others guts and show it given the chance." he always tells the brutal truth. respect him!
My favourite from the album thusfar.
up the ra!
