what "things " from morrissey/ smiths songs have YOU done

I escaped from a shipwrecked life.
 
I've hoarsely cried

For there are brighter sides to life and I should know because I've seen them but not very often
 
  • I stole and lied just because someone asked me to.
  • I've walked home alone.
  • I've wanted the one I can't have (and it's driven me mad!)
  • It's suddenly struck me that I just might die with a smile on my face after all.
  • I've gone home and cried and wanted to die.
  • When I'm lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death.
  • Climbed into an empty bed.
  • Left the north and traveled south.
  • Looked for a job and found a job (and heaven knows I'm miserable ((but have a steady source of income)) now!)
  • Smiled at people I'd much rather kick in the eye.

That's just Smiths songs, though. I'm too lazy to go through Moz ones and pick out things I've done, haha. I'm a dork.

PETA ALLLLEEERT!

Better be a joke! Horses are so gentle and kind...and it takes strength to be...well...as i said, gentle und kind.

i met people round the cemet'ry gates a couple of times. i even went on a date close to a cemetery...it was all great until the guy suggested we do acid and wabble around (see, the cemetery has these little solar powered lights by every grave, so at night, the whole place looks like an airport...some are even multi coloured..) and trip out of our minds.
i threw my glass of perrier in his face and told him that good girls don't do drugs.
we saw each other's underwear and i decided i will get myself to a nunnery. oh boys, gross. men, yay!

I LOVE horses. :) That's my completely unnecessary post, but I am working on compiling all the lyric quotes I too have done, it just takes a while.

1. "and when I fell on the floor, I drank more," Stop me
from early memories of first drinking experiences.....
2. "because the music they constantly play says nothing to me
about my life..." Hang the DJ, reminds me of how I felt when I was a teenager.
3. "last night I dreamt somebody loved me" reminds me of how I felt
when my marriage ended.
4. "I know it's over..." when my Mother died
5. "There's gonna be some trouble, a whole house will need rebuilding, etc."
Now my Heart is Full, I've played a bit lately, reminds me of the shit
I've been going through with my sister and family since last Christmas
6. "What difference does it make" reminds me of someone I was with
who was quite nice but had agendas that were a bit dark.
7. "The more you ignore me" it's just toally Morrissey and sums up
the whole way I feel about him forever.....and
it's such a sensual song, he swoons it I think.
8. "How Soon Is Now.." Oh, that's just when am I getting a boyfriends stuff
9. "How Could anyone possible know how I feel?", Well exactly.
 
off the top of my head...

- borne more grudges than lonely high court judges

- liked someone and never even told them

- lived somewhere you wouldn't dare to drive

- gone to waste in the wrong arms


(i'm sure there's lots more)
