will nature make a man of me yet?

Morrissey is back, and he's back doing a super-funky-doctor-monkey version of his 1983 hit with 'The Smiths': 'This Charming Man' [I just love it when the tempo breaks - amazing! ;o)]

this is a song for those who:
couldn't
shouldn't
and
mustn't

"... Punctured bicycle
On a hillside, desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet?
When in this charming car:
This charming man.
Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat?
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said:
"It's gruesome, that someone so handsome should care"

A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said: "return the ring"
(He knows so much about these things)
(He knows so much about these things)

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said:
"It's gruesome, that someone so handsome should care"
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...

A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said: "return the ring"
(He knows so much about these things)
(He knows so much about these things) ..."

Check out Morrissey's recent live concert on Radio2 here: I listened along, and tried my best to avoid a complete twitter-glut, but managed to restrain myself, (just)! Lyrical highlights include:

"...more breakfast-in-bed
and I'll bring the paper in later..."
(from 'Best Friend On The Payroll')



"...The world is full of crashing bores
and I must be one
because no-one ever turns to me to say:
"take me in your arms
and love me" ..."
(from 'The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores')



"...Reader meet author
with a hope of hearing sense
but you may be feeling let down
by the words of defence
He says:
"no-one ever sees me when I cry" ...
... oh, have you ever escaped
from a shipwrecked life? ..."
(from 'Reader Meet Author')



and despite
arms around waists,
arms around shoulders,
and
homespun philosophies ...
Morrissey says:
'I'm OK By Myself'

Go Moz! ;o)]
