The Smiths/Morrissey

SHOPLIFTERS OF THE WORLD (UNITE AND TAKE OVER)

Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crime
My only weakness is... well, never mind, never mind

Oh, shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over
Hand it over
Hand it over...

(shoplifters = shirtlifters = subversive!!)

 

HANDSOME DEVIL

All the streets are crammed with things

eager to be held

I know what hands are for

and I'd like to help myself

you ask me the time

but I sense something more

and I would like to give you

what I think you're asking for

you handsome devil

you handsome devil

Let me get my hands

on your mammary glands

and let me get your head

on the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

I crack the whip

and you skip

but you deserve it

you deserve it, deserve it, deserve it

A boy in the bush

is worth two in the hand

I think I can help you get through your exams

oh you handsome devil

Let me get my hands

on your mammary glands

and let me get your head

on the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

I crack the whip

and you skip

but you deserve it

you deserve it, deserve it, deserve it

And when we're in your scholarly room

who will swallow whom?

and when we're in your scholarly room

who will swallow whom?

you handsome devil

Let me get my hands

on your mammary glands

and let me get your head

on the conjugal bed

I say, I say, I say

There's more to life than books you know

but not much more

oh you handsome devil

Whenever i think of Foucault I always think of Morrisey, because both of these guys believe that "visibility is a trap". Morrissey is sorta famous for never identifying, while also making music which is very queer.  In terms of queer icons he is taken up primarily as a champion of Asexuality, something I will post about shortly.  He's also an icon for all hxc vegan east coast straight edge kids... just sayin..." meat is murder.  the flesh you so fancifully fry is not succulent tasty or kind, it's death for no reason and death for no reason is murder"

HAND IN GLOVE

(AM I) STILL ILL

"under the iron bridge we kissed, and although i ended up with sore lips, it just wasn't like the old days anymore, no it, wasn't like, those days, am i still ill?"
