En vis SP Morrissey har netop påbegyndt sin første amerikanske tour i flere år. De mange europæiske tilhængere der var lidt skuffede over sangudvalget på hans seneste dates her, vil helt sikkert på afstand kunne glædes over en setliste som denne, fra showet lørdag aften i Sparks, Nevada:
The Queen Is Dead
The Youngest Was the Most Loved
You Have Killed Me
Disappointed
There is a Light That Never Goes Out
Lucky Lisp
In the Future When All’s Well
Ganglord
The National Front Disco
The Boy With The Thorn in His Side
Everyday is like Sunday
I’ve Changed My Plea To Guilty
I Will See You in Far Off Places
Life is a Pigsty
How Soon Is Now
Let Me Kiss You
I Just Want to See the Boy Happy
——————————–
You’re Gonna Need Someone on Your Side
Irish Blood, English Heart
Ganglord er b-side på The Youngest Was The Most Loved singlen…et friskt nummer med en orrissey i lyrisk storform…eller i hvert tilfælde en anelse aggresiv…
Ganglord, the police are
Kicking their way into my house
And haunting me, taunting me
Wanting me to break their laws
Ganglord, the police are
Kicking their way into my house
And haunting me, taunting me
Wanting me to break their laws
And I’m turning to you,
Oh, to save me…
And I’m turning to you,
Oh, to save me…
Ganglord, the police are
Grinding me into the ground
The headless pack are back
Small boy jokes and loaded guns
Ganglord, the police are
Grinding me into the ground
The headless pack are back
Small boy jokes and loaded guns
And I’m turning to you, to save me…
And I’m turning to you,
Oh, to save me! Save me…
To save me, save me, to save me!
Gandlord, there’s a clock on the wall
Making fun of us all
Ganglord, there’s a clock on the wall
And it makes a joke of us all
And I’m turning to you, to save me…
And I’m turning to you, to save me, save me…
To save me, save me, to save me!
Ganglord, remember!
The police can always be bribed…
Ganglord, remember!
The police can always be bribed…
They say ‘to protect and to serve’
But what they really want to say is:
“Get back to the ghetto! The ghetto!
Get yourself back to the ghetto!
The ghetto! The ghetto!
Get yourself back to the ghetto!
The ghetto! The ghetto!”
Sangen “Ganglord” er det en Mozzer-sang? Bilder mig ind jeg har rimelig godt styr på mandens sange, men den titel synes jeg ikke jeg er stødt på før.
Lucky Lisp er en hidden gem, når det gælder Mozzers bagkatalog…Det er en yderst kompetent setliste!
..uden tvivl….:-)
Der kan man se. Mon ikke han har haft ‘Lucky Lips’ i tankerne da han skrev ‘Lucky Lisp’?
Nope – det må vore Moz´ egen LUCKY LISP – b-side til The Last Of The Famous International Playboys!
Men wow – man ville jo give en del for at overvære en Moz koncert der åbner med The Queen Is Dead!
Er ‘Lucky Lips’ den gamle Leiber/Stoller sang, som Cliff Richard har gjort populær, selv om den fedeste version skal findes med Ruth Brown?
Brown døde sidste år, så det kan selvfølgelig også være Morrissey’s måde at hylde hende på.
