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
And there is no one on this earth
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

    I took his insults on the chin, and never did I flinch
    A swagger hides the fear in here
    By this rule we breathe
    And there is no one on this earth
    Who I'd feel sad to leave
    You see we all lose

    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!!!
