Here is London, giddy of London
Is it home of the free
Or what?

Can you squeeze me
Into an empty page of your diary
And psychologically save me
I've got faith in you
I sense the power
Within the fingers
Within an hour the power
Could totally destroy me
(Or, it could save my life)

Oh, here is London
"Home of the brash, outrageous and free"
You are repressed
But you're remarkably dressed
Is it real?
And you're always busy

Really busy
Busy, busy
Oh, hairdresser on fire
All around Sloane Square
And you're just so busy
Busy, busy
Busy scissors
Oh, hairdresser on fire
(Only the other day)

Was a client, over-cautious
He made you nervous
And when he said
"I'm gonna sue you"
Oh, I really felt for you

So can you squeeze me
Into an empty page of your diary
And supernaturally change me?
Change me, change
Oh, here in London
"Home of the brash, outrageous and free"
You are repressed
But you're remarkably dressed
Is it real?
And you're always busy

Really busy
Busy clippers
Oh, hairdresser on fire
All around Sloane Square

And you're just too busy
To see me
Busy clippers
Oh, hairdresser on fire
(Only the other day)

Not correct. For me, everything he's done post Smiths is tepid at best. I still love the Smiths, but Morrissey solo just bores me.

That would be MC 900 FT Jesus with The City Sleeps!!{#Whistle}

why just Americans? Morissey isn't for everyone, but that's a good thing. :)
Oh how I wish my Roku had a "play something different " buttons for moments like this.

Go away Morrisy, you boring, whining,  git.

We got him.  And then some of us, including a good friend of mine who wrote a song about it, got over the Smiths.

He was actually quite popular in the U.S., perhaps not as much among some folks here.  He's performed at many large theaters and arenas in the States since the early 1990s.

RP seems to be in the middle of a "hair" set at the moment. This is a bit sick, but I doubt there are many listeners at 7:30amEastern / 4:30amPacific on a Sunday.

pathetic! laughably bad!

I thought I was being generous.
Can you say \"overwrought\"? I knew that you could...

Automatically gets a 1. Says it all, you don't listen to music, you rate on you preconceptions
Most over-rated \"artist\" of all time.
The title alone was always worth a 10.
Anything with Morrissey automatically gets a one from me. But that\'s because I can\'t give a -10.
Giddy London!
