Grabado en su mayor parte en Francia, en el Studio La Fabrique en Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, las labores de grabación se completaron en Estados Unidos, en el Sunset Sound de Hollywood.

Este álbum es el primero en contar con nuevo material de Morrissey desde que en 2017 publicara su trabajo discográfico "Low in High School".

El álbum incluye la participación de la veterana cantante de Motown Thelma Houston, quien se hizo muy popular con el tema "Don't Leave Me This Way", una versión del tema original de Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff y Cary Gilbert y que en 1986 volvió a estar es lo más alto gracias al grupo británico The Communards, que incluyó "Don't Leave Me This Way" en su álbum debut.

"I Am Not A Dog On A Chain" aparece tan solo diez meses después de que el antiguo líder de la banda The Smiths publicara su álbum de versiones "California son" e incluye un primer sencillo, titulado "Bobby, Don't You Think They Know?" y que fue publicado el 10 de enero de 2020.

    Letra

    At Jim Jim falls I fall in love At Jim Jim falls I fell up from hell If you’re gonna jump, then jump Don’t think about it If you’re gonna run home and cry Then don’t waste my time If you’re going to kill yourself Then to save face Get on with it At Jim Jim falls I fooled and fell If I were you I’d stick to your own canoe If you’re gonna jump then jump Just don’t think about it If your gonna run home and cry Then don’t waste my time If you’re gonna kill yourself Then to save face Get on with it If you’re gonna sing then sing Just don’t talk about it If you’re gonna live then live Don’t talk about it If you’re gonna kill yourself Then for God’s sake Just kill yourself If you’re gonna sing then sing Just don’t talk about it If you’re gonna live then live Don’t talk about it If you’re gonna kill yourself Then for God’s sake Just kill yourself
  2. Love Is On Its Way Out

    Letra

    Love is on its way out Love is on its way out Love is tired and its on its way out Love is on its way out Love is on its way out Love is broken down, it's on its way out Did you see the headlines? Did you see the grablines? Did you see the nerve gassed children crying? Did you see the sad rich hunting down Shooting down elephants and lions? Love is on its way out Love is on its way out Love is tired and it's on its way out Love is on its way out Love is on its way out Love is broken down It's on its way out Did you see the sad rich hunting down Shooting down elephants and lions? But before it goes Before it goes Before it goes Do you have the time To show me What's it like What's it like Oh, what's it like Oh take time Be mine And gaze with fondness on The wrong one The wrong one Oh The wrong one The wrong one Oh The wrong one

  4. I Am Not A Dog On A Chain

    Letra

    I am not a dog on a chain I use my own brain I can turn the conversation off I'm too clever to be robbed I am not a dog on a chain Thanks all the same I have patience and I have time Both of which are mine I hear a call I hear a cry I raise my voice I have no choice I raise my hand I hammer twice I see no point in being nice I am not a dog on a chain I use my own brain I do not read newspapers They are troublemakers Listen out for what's not shown to you And there you find the truth For in a civilized and careful way They'll sculpture all your views So open up your nervous mouth and Feel the words come streaming out In volume, pitch and rising cries Opening your blinkered eyes For otherwise you'll never know who you are Or all that you can do If you want to, if you want to, if you want to I am not a dog on a chain You've got to be insane One is company and two is a crowd And crowds are loud Or maybe I'll be skinned alive By canada goose Because of my views Because of the truth Because of my fleece Because of my niece Like drinking ink The words explode Fatter than fists Louder than blows Fatter than fists Louder than blows The dead are dead Ice cold and hard to Where they can't be overcharged They have no breath They have no eyes At least they won't be going twice
  5. What Kind Of People Live In These Houses?

    Letra

    What kind of people live in these houses? What kind of sad dad Scratches in this crash-pad? T-shirts or blouses? Torn jeans or trousers? What kind of people live in these houses? T-shirts or blouses? Torn jeans or proper trousers? They vote the way they vote - They dont know how to change Because their parentes did the same And where will they be Ten years from today? Bed-sitter, bed-wetter? Or penthouse go-getter? What carpet-chewer Lights up this sewer? And which rough trade strangers Flail around these chambers? And what dented gent Bends over it this tent? They sleep with who they sleep with Only because They are afraid to taste change And where will they be Ten years from today? Dogface in a duplex? Boisterous in cloisters? Grabbing in a cabin Or squatting on your quarters, oh Sat home and folksy Smelling in their dwelling They look at television thinking Its their window to the world They look at television thinking Its their window to the world That's got to hurt Who cares what peole live In these houses?
  6. Knockabout World

    Letra

    Congratulations You have survived Congratulations You’re still alive They kicked to kill you Do not forget They tried to turn you Into a public target Welcome to this knockabout world This knockabout world This knockabout world This knockabout world Congratulations You’re still ok I’d kiss your lips off any day Be careful In this knockabout world This knockabout world This knockabout world This knockabout world And by the way You’re ok by me You’re ok by me With your handsome teeth You’re ok by me You’re ok by me You’re ok by me
  7. Darling, I Hug A Pillow

    Letra

    Darling, I hug a pillow in absence of you Darling, I hug a pillow to replace your face Loving you is a trauma no one else should face Or sit still for Why can't you give me some physical love? Why can't you give me some physical love? Everything else is in place, except physical love Darling, you will cry for me in the years to come In the hope of a moment that cannot return Thankfully Why can't you bring figs all pulpy and moist? Roasted in passion and salty in voice? No longer keeping a secret of your secret place Why can't you give me some physical love? Why can't you give me some physical love? Everything else is in place, except physical love Darling, I hug a pillow in absence of you Darling, I hug a pillow to replace your face Darling, I hug a pillow to replace your face

  9. The Truth About Ruth

    Letra

    I am a sleuth I ferret the truth I dig up the facts Even when there are none A silent child, an elegant youth This led me to find The truth about Ruth Ruth is John Ruth is John We all do what we can Just to get along The life you lead Straightforward and bland Everything happens according to plan But some people fight just to take root In a world ill-equipped for The truth about Ruth Ruth is John Ruth is John We all do what we can Just to get along Oh bully for you Oh bully for you Your groin and your face They slip right into place So masoned and carved Your arrow is drawn You know who you are Yet you have no idea Ruth is John Ruth is John And sooner or later We are all calmed down

  11. My Hurling Days Are Done

    Letra

    Time will mold you and craft you But soon when you’re looking away It will slide up and shaft you Oh time Oh time No friend of mine Mama, mama and teddy bear Were the first full firm spectrum of time Now my hurling days are done And there’s no one to tell And there’s nowhere to run Time, a blossoming clover But soon it will say Ok, came on son - bend over Oh time Oh time No friend of mine Mama, mama and teddy bear Were the first full firm spectrum of time But now my hurling days are done And there’s no one to tell And there’s nowhere to run Time places no pressure on you But soon it explains what it means by The funky Alphonso Oh time Oh time No friend of mine Mama, mama and teddy bear Were the first full firm spectrum of time Now my hurling days are done And there’s no one to tell And there’s nowhere to run Time will send you an invoice And you’ll play with your strength and your legs and your sight and your voice Oh Mama, mama and teddy bear Were the first full firm spectrum of time But now my hurling days are done And there’s no one to tell And there’s nowhere to run
