Name: I Want To Die With You, Morrissey
Duration: P00H03M31S
Description: Sure, Morrissey is irredeemable now, but in prior decades he wrote the songs that saved our lives. Or at least co-wrote them. This 2015 stopgap single released between In Soviet Russia... and The Well-Tempered Overlord was an attempt to mimic Moz wordplay and Alain White/Boz Boorer-style tunesmithing.

lyrics

I WANT TO DIE WITH YOU, MORRISSEY
In school halls, by club walls
From Rome to East L.A.
Our patron saint of suffering sings
And another life is saved

And who's the one
Whose words have earned
This charming Mancunian deity
His army of the solitary's mortal loyalties?

I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to feel how you feel even one last time
You let your life be mine
So I'll be next in line
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to show you when you go I'll be by your side
Who will confirm our doubts
When your light goes out?
I want to die with you, Morrissey!

The boulder rolls over
Our hero once more
But he chases it slower
Than he did before

He says:
Dear friends,
As much as I've enjoyed
Being destroyed for your anthems
You'll have to make sense of this senselessness
By your lonesome

But I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to feel how you feel just one last time
Your every word rings true
I've always followed you
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I won't lose who speaks truth to the powerless
One minute without you
I couldn't say yes to
I want to die with you, Morrissey!

Be still my heart
Should you depart!
I'd die without you
I'd die without you
So can I die with you?

I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to feel how you feel in your final hours
You let my life be mine
So I'll be next in line
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to share the fear that dare not speak its name
For all you've pulled me through
Can't I comfort you?
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
I want to die with you, Morrissey!
