Morrissey - My Life Is A Succession Of People Saying Goodbye Lyrics






My life is an endless succession of people saying goodbye
My life is an endless succession of people saying goodbye
And what's left for me?
What's left for me?

At one time the future it stretched out before me
But now it stretches behind
And all of the best things in life are behind glass
Money, jewelry and flesh
And what's left for me?
What's left for me?

  6. E.... D....

    Sorry Account Exec. My sister, my best friend is gone.

  12. G.... P....

    He is the best that the music scene has to offer, shame you doesn't get the credit that he deserves.

    G.... P....

    He is... ok well maybe not happy but comfy :)) and I`m just delighted to have discovered him so young so credit is subjective.. XXX

    G.... P....

    David J The David Haskins?

  13. e.... ....

    My life starts off with an almost drum machine cadence that could trail off into the Humperdinck arena, yet is pulled back by an elegant soft siren of violin like sustenance coupled with a generous heart wrenching issue faced by all but not noticed by everyone- the finality of friendships and the unknown of that end that can be sudden or drawn out.
    The realization of the past and present loss of memories and friendships tied together and the future that is relegated to a memory creates a bitter, heart wrenching loss of what once was. Knowing life memories are sweeter when seen from the past than the present keeps us distracted from seeing the beauty of those moments. This track can be filed with those losses one feels alone and misunderstood but bridged somehow by a simple song that touches your soul and you feel every loss again for a brief moment but the memory of those goodbyes are a small pure reliving of the joy of your life with friends and family. An exquisite B-Side of melancholy and bitter sweet longing of times goneby.

  14. J.... M....

    ...this iz a *b-side*...?!

    J.... M....

    +John Meowzer It was the B side to 'First of the gang to die'.

    J.... M....

    +permaveg Thanx! I meant, it'z too brilliant to be relegated to b-side status. Maybe my favorite thing he'z ever done. Amazing!

    J.... M....

    +John Meowzer One of my favourites as well.

    J.... M....

    Same here!

    He literally has got a song for each and every single life issue. This is fantastic.

    J.... C....

    Justine C , yes he's pretty covering everything

    J.... C....

    Bart Simpson he needs to write a song about people who always stand on the wrong side of the escalator and makes wait and explode

  19. L.... T....

    Very relateable song.

  20. G.... Q....

    its good to have old friends because theyre nice and look cute with ruined teeth,even. but when they die they start making all the parties that will be thrown for you when you die, so while you go on missing them they look in the mirror at their faces transformed to when they looked best but seriously they love you and want to tell you "just keep trying" "make something youve always wanted since the beginning happen do it I know you can" cause he or she knows youll need something to talk about at the parties when all the fabulous ghosts and witches gods monsters artists and lovers and poets are bragging about their amazing born too soon exploits and their after death good times and pranks and world shaking mischeif so seriously stop ,sit down I cant stop imagining you in the bathtub like that do you think its fair to sing about only lonliness all your life keeping pictures like this tucked away M. I hate peter hook he belongs in prison for sure and he just wrecked another friendship in my life he is a torrie a racist and a fat scary racist pig Morrissey don't be ashamed to have respect for the californio culture but listen this year and those to follow will continue to show an unstoppable force in this world spilling us upward out and up to center here on the coast like grains of cinnamon on unbuttered toast cuz of the mayan prophecy Mor we chicanos love you cuz youre the good one . the right one. the just man. and we gen x'ers or younger do not think that this correct ethical impeccablist male is not mythic it is real and all of us who are impeccable ARE REAL(its a toltec thing) and thats you and the man who doesn't really exist is peter hook who belongs in the trees of worchestershire with blue faces looking down on people chewing on huge bloody torn off arms and legs of romans or greek or french phallus worshippers lost in pre druid england, and thats peter hook who rapes violently nice young boys when you just made encouraging sweet kind hearted love to them thos boys often were the wicked losers who were already too cynical for you but I aint but that isn't relevant and as english pre history even nearly the first chapter of the story,  but youre scared, you feel old which is not too realistic compared to many of the people I love like even Lou reed who just diede should have gone on way longer with the progress in vaccine medicine which he was given at some wee age so YOU AINT OLD (if peter hook existed he would be because hes a sick tepid psychopath with explosive and volatile tendencies don't like him ever)youre handsome and so masculine and ultra macho when you have let it show THAT IS YOU were just workin class you are who you see when were happy or drinkin or high or just in good spirits which is clear that you are at least more than never foreward this to the man in question .or be cursed with david geffens feces smell in your carpet regularly I'm withchy so do wha I say!!!!!!

    G.... Q....

    i've always believed in love too.

    G.... Q....

    Gabriel Q hell

    G.... Q....

    Gabriel Q I don't

  21. V.... ....

    three pages in and I'm glued :-)

  22. o.... G....

    After reading his autobiography this song becomes even sadder

    o.... G....

    Watch "The Importance of being Morrissey" in case you haven't.
    He is not very outspoken about himself.
    But then, I haven't read his autobiography. Isn't his mind a beautiful place?
    I will be looking for that autobiography.
    I know he is tendensing at being depressive.

  23. T.... T....

    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  24. 1.... ....

    Too bad you can't hear it.

  25. h.... ....

    I wish I could see those hands playing the Harp. I can only imagine.

  26. A.... ....

    Wow this song is making me cry!

  27. F.... C....

    My life is an endless succession
    Of people saying goodbye
    My life is an endless succession
    Of people saying goodbye

    And what's left for me? What's left for me?
    At one time, the future, it stretched out before me
    But now it stretches behind me

    And all of the best things in life are behind glass
    Money, jewellery and flesh
    And what's left for me? What's left for me?

  28. J.... ....
