Week Twenty-Seven: Twenty Years of Moz - Morrissey - "Sing Your Life" - Kill Uncle

Week Twenty-Seven marks the 20th anniversary of my very first Morrissey concert that took place on November 4, 1992, at Reunion Arena, on his Your Arsenal tour

[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]*[*]

I selected this one because I absolutely love the video.  It's so simple, yet classy!  Oh, how I long to go Swing Dancing and do the Stroll every time I watch this video!!!

For the longest, anytime anyone would ask me my advice on something, as in: "What would you do?"  My response would be: "Sing your life... walk right up the the microphone and name... all the things you love... all the things that you loathe!!"

I thought it was pretty clever, and it made me giggle every time.  However, most of my closest companions caught on quickly and began to say to me when asking for advice: "Besides 'sing [my] life,' what else would you suggest that I do?"  How dare they take all the fun out of it?!?!?

As I mentioned in the post that opened this week, I picked up quite a few fanzines at the show.  One of them was aptly titled: Sing Your Life

Another was called The Sunday Times, and it has a page of vital & non-vital statistics that was titled "Morrissey Sings His Life".  I figured I would share it because Moz is just so witty:

Sing your life 
Any fool can think of words that rhyme 
Many others do 
Why don't you ? 
Do you want to ? 
Oh...
Sing your life 
Walk right up to the microphone 
And name 
All the things you love 
All the things that you loathe 

Oh, sing your life 
The things that you love 
And the things you loathe 
Oh, sing your life 
Oh, sing your life 

La, la-la, la-la, sing your life 
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life 

Others sang your life 
But now is a chance to shine 
And have the pleasure of 
Saying what you mean 
Have the pleasure of 
Meaning what you sing 
Oh, make no mistake my friend 
All of this will end 
So sing it now (sing your life)
All the things you love (sing your life)
All the things you loathe 
Oh, sing your life 
The things that you love 
And the things you loathe (sing your life) 
Oh, sing oh...
Oh, sing oh... 

La, la-la, la-la, sing your life 
La, la-la, la-la, sing your life 

Don't leave it all unsaid 
Somewhere in the wasteland of your head, oh 
Head, oh, head, oh, head, oh 
And make no mistake, my friend 
Your pointless life will end 
But before you go 
Can you look at the truth ? 
You have a lovely singing voice 
A lovely singing voice 
And all of those 
Who sing on-key 
They stole the notion 
From you and me 
So, sing your life (sing your life)
Sing your life (sing your life) 
Oh, sing your oh... 
Oh, sing your 
Sing your life 
Sing your life 
Sing your life 
Oh, sing your oh...
(Sing your life) 
(Sing your life) 
Sing your life
