Week Ninety-Two: Triple Takes - Public Image Ltd. / Morrissey / Hagfish - "Disappointed" - 9 / The Best of Morrissey / Rocks Your Lame Ass

This week, I will be covering songs, by different artists, that share the same title, better known by moi as "Double Takes". 
(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)


Yes, it is another "Triple Take" for you today...in fact, I gave you lots of excellent tunes to explore this week! Just an FYI - today would have actually been a "Quadruple Take" if I had not already covered Electronic's tune called "Disappointed"...

So, I'll start with Public Image Ltd., but I'm not going to say a whole lot about them because there will be an upcoming PIL Week. However, you may remember the lead singer, John Lydon/Johnny Rotten, from my post about The Sex Pistols during Songs of 1977 Week.

As for my dearest Moz's song, "Disappointed", all I can truly say about this one is that this is an example of Morrissey at his most clever and most cryptic nature with his lyrical content. Sure, lots of people have taken a stab at the meaning, but all that anyone can seem to agree on is how humorous it is that Moz takes a jab at himself at the end of this one...

And last, but certainly not least, are some fabulous locals called Hagfish. You may remember that I first posted about Hagfish very early on during Week Seven: Various DFW Area Artists. I saw Hagfish play around Dallas in the '90s multiple times, and I even caught one of their Christmas shows with my mother one year. We stood right next to one of the guy's family members and had a blast! They thought it was super-awesome that I was there with my mother!!!

So that's it for this week... I guess that next week, I'm going to have to tackle some more love songs for Valentine's Day... ick blah... just teasing!!!



Promises, promises
Old, tired, worn out, second hand sentences
One thing, with you is certain
You're a really sad person
So sad

Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well, isn't that what friends are for? (What friends are for)
What friends are for (What friends are for)
What are friends for?

You, you're just a really bad person
Who won't, you won't listen to anyone
No not you
With those half moon eyelids
Just babbling on, your useless defenses
So sad

Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well isn't that what friends are for (What friends are for)
What friends are for (What friends are for)
What are friends for?

This erratic haphazard, fluttering
This to-ing and fro-ing
Like a confused moth
The collision, illusion
And it's all ad infinitum
You're a really sad person
You're really so sad

Disappointed a few people
When friendship reared its ugly head
Disappointed a few people
Well isn't that what friends are for (What friends are for)
What friends are for (What friends are for)
What are friends for?





Our unsleepable friend 
Gets the message on an ill wind 
"All your friends and your foes 
Would rather die than have to touch you" 
TO SAY THE LEAST: I'm truly disappointed 

Truly, truly, truly, oh... 
Drank too much 
And I said too much 
And there's nowhere to go - but Down 

Young boy - I wanna help you 
SEE THESE LINES ? : Truly disappointed 

Truly, truly, truly, oh... 

Don't talk to me, no 
About people who are "nice" 
'Cause I have spent my WHOLE LIFE 
in RUINS 
Because of people who are "nice" 
Oh, this world may lack Style, I know 
Each bud must blossom and grow, oh... 

Young girl, one day you will be old 
But the thing is, I love you NOW 
Mmm ...

This is the last song I will ever sing (Yeah!) 
No: I've changed my mind again (Aaw...)
GOODNIGHT
AND THANK YOU





When I met you, you told me 
Your virtue was as good as could be 
And you'd never bleed for me
And you'd never call for me 
And I told you, you'd find someone 
To put up over me 
So you did and I cannot speak 
Of my jealousy 

Cause you gave your body and soul 
To someone you don't even know 
And all this time I was waiting 
And waiting 
Waiting to be...

When I see you, you tell me you're happy as a girl could be
And you say you wanna talk to me 
Tell me all about your history 
So you call me and bore me and tell me that you want 
Me back
 And I feel so frustrated
And you feel so frustrated 

And I'm glad that you gave me a chance to take a ride with 
You 
Cause I won't be seen with you 
And I won't give in to you 
And you told me, you'll find some time that you could 
Spend with me 
And I feel so disappointed 
And you feel so disappointed
