I wouldn't call him "lit" as a bulk of his lyrics are pulled entirely from the poetry and plays of others, he just fits it into a rhyme or metre for the desired vocal melody - though he does have quite a good taste in Irish and British poetry and theatre. I quite like his novella too

Check out the passionjustlikemine website for all of his literary references in his lyrics and in interviews

Stop deluding yourselves, most if not all of Morrissey's lyrics is whining in his annoying whiny voice

The voice stuff is subjective, a lot of people like it, myself included. His lyrics are utterly perfunctory but narratively coherent with a decent turn of phrase, so they're engaging when sung well. I consider him a good storyteller and (vocal) conveyor of impression and emotion. He's nothing as a lyricist per se.

>> No.16135193

>>16135082
You realize most of the whining is tongue-in-cheek? He has an irony in his lyrics. See “Girlfriend in a Coma” or a famous few lines of his, “it’s not like any other love, this one is different because it’s us.” I see how you could call his persona whiny but not his actual output. The Queen is Dead is very lit.

This smug cunt forced Penguin to publish his cringe memoir as a "Penguin Classic", he was on the verge of withdrawing his agreement with them when they got cold feet but still managed to get his way. Take the worst parts of Ian Curtis and Jim Morrison and you have this guy.

Oh, I'm just talking about the good songs, I'm not trying to get obscurantist points on a backwater image board. I haven't seen that film because I don't watch shite and I'd never dream of hinting that one of a band's most successful singles was some kind of deep cut like you're doing.

It is a good song, I just like the other ones better.
