[Was I ever any good]

Smiler with Knife on number four.

Are you hitting the sauce again, Myrtle?

Probably one of his dumbest songs ever.

 

[Mayfly]

That's how people grow up?!? He’s gotta be purposely putting in a few to make up gasp

If he really wanted to take the piss, he could have added « World pezce is none of your business » as well.

 

[Was I ever any good]

I honestly think that Mozz has been board today, and he’s thought to himself,
I’ll put a list of songs out and watch all the
Suckers on Solo carry them selfs on, with bickering about their positions.
I only got to about number 15, then gave up
I nearly had a panic attack with the smiler
With knife stunt.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Nowhere does it say that this is a ranking of his 40 favorite lyrics. These are the 40 songs that he derives most fulfillment from singing.

Still, there is plenty to be stunned about.

The list doesn't say anything about how he likes to "sing" those songs. I'm reading it as he is saying he is most proud (or fulfilled) of the lyrics from the songs he listed. Of course, he is just gaslighting everyone. He can't possibly think some of those songs contain his best lyrics.

 

[goinghome]

40 out of how many altogether?

Some oeuvre.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Suedehead lyrics are pretty weak.

Disagree. Universally relatable lyrics. Everyone who's heard that song can instantly empathize with the singer.

 

[Mayfly]

I love that Moz returned to his obsession with lists and rankings.
As usual, his views are peculiar.
How many fans would put 5 lyrics from LIHS among their personal favorites?
And why 40 songs? Most « best of » lists go for 50 or even 100.

 

[BrokenFrame]

41. kerouac's crack

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

That's How bloody People Grow Up??

Yep, always been one of my favorites too.

 

[Les Tameside]

That's How bloody People Grow Up??

It was crap when it came out. And it hasn’t aged well.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

the perfect list !

perfect in it’s strangeness. Should we expect anything less? I think not.

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

What happened to Staircase?! Or Satan? Or Roy?

I would replace half that list.

Golden Lights should be number one.

 

[Amy]

Is he really that bored when he's not on stage? God.

 

[Was I ever any good]

I think Mozz should now post a list of
His favourite cancellations…
I know Nottingham would be in the
Top one,
Not that I want to take up his mistakes,
He knows exactly what they are

 

[ForgivemeJesus]

There are some pretty goods songs on that list, I do know that

 

[Mala]

No Israel?

 

[Ryan]

songs from which Morrissey feels most lyrical self-fulfilment

27 THE GIRL FROM TEL-AVIV WHO WOULDN'T KNEEL
28 THE FATHER WHO MUST BE KILLED

Good heavens.

 

[Ryan]

Well I Wonder, where are you?

 

[Seymour Glass]

Well I Wonder, where are you?

Thank you!!! Proof that this list is nonsense.

 

[Redacted]

Steven has terrible taste in his own music or he is trolling
