Sobre el álbum
Después del controvertido experimento orquestal de su anterior trabajo, Morrison Hotel representa un regreso triunfal a las raíces del blues y el rock and roll. El álbum es una respuesta directa a las críticas, un disco crudo y sin adornos que muestra a la banda tocando con una energía renovada.
El álbum está conceptualmente dividido en dos caras: "Hard Rock Cafe" y "Morrison Hotel". La primera mitad arranca con la potencia de "Roadhouse Blues", una de las canciones más emblemáticas de su carrera. Con su inolvidable riff y la voz aguardentosa de Jim Morrison, el tema establece un tono festivo y peligroso.
La segunda cara del disco explora un blues más introspectivo, con joyas como "Peace Frog", una canción con una línea de bajo funky que contrasta con una letra sobre el caos social. "Morrison Hotel" es un regreso a la forma espectacular, un disco que demostró que la biografía de The Doors estaba firmemente anclada en el blues, redescubriendo su esencia más pura.

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles She came There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee She came Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago She came Blood on the rise, it's following me She came about the break of day She came and then she drove away Sunlight in her hair She came Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness She came Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh She came Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city She came The women are crying red rivers of weepin' She came into town and then she drove away Sunlight in her hair Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice Blood in my love in the terrible summer Bloody red sun of Phantastic LA Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers Blood will be born in the birth of a nation Blood is the rose of mysterious union There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago Blood on the rise, it's following me - Blue Sunday2:12

Grandma love a sailor Who sailed the frozen sea Grandpa was a whaler And he took me on his knee He said, "Son, I'm going crazy From livin' on the land Got to find my shipmates And walk on foreign sands" This old man was graceful With silver in his smile He smoked a briar pipe and He walked four country miles Singing songs of shady sisters And old time liberty Songs of love and songs of death And songs to set men free Yeah! I've got three ships and sixteen men A course for ports unread I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow Till half of us are dead Land ho! Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill If I get my hands on a number five Gonna skin that litlle girl alive If I get my hand on a number two Come back home and marry you, marry you Alright! Ey, land Ho! Ey, land Ho! If I get back home and I feel all right You know baby gonna love you tonight Love you right, love you right Ey, land Ho! Ey, land Ho! Ey, land Ho! - The Spy4:17

Letra
She was a princess Queen of the highway Sign on the road said "Take us to Madre" No one could save her Save the blind tiger He was a monster Black, dressed in leather She was a princess Queen of the highway Now they are wedded She is a good girl Naked as children Out in the meadow Naked as children Wild as can be Soon to have offspring Start it all over Start it all over American boy, American girl Most beautiful people in the world Son of frontier Indian Swirl Dancing through the midnight whirlpool, formless I hope it can continue just a little while longer - Indian Summer2:35

I love you, the best Better than all the rest I love you, the best Better than all the rest That I meet in the summer Indian summer That I meet in the summer Indian summer I love you, the best Better than all the rest - Maggie M'gill4:24
