Reseña
Publicado en 1991, el álbum Kill Uncle representa un cambio de rumbo y es, a menudo, considerado uno de los trabajos más ligeros y polarizantes de Morrissey. Para este disco, el cantante colaboró principalmente con el compositor y guitarrista Mark E. Nevin, de la banda Fairground Attraction. Como resultado, el sonido se aleja de la grandilocuencia de `Viva Hate` para adentrarse en un pop más sencillo y, en ocasiones, con tintes de music hall.
Esta nueva dirección musical generó opiniones divididas. Por un lado, canciones como "Sing Your Life" o "Our Frank" poseen un encanto peculiar y muestran un lado más juguetón del artista. Por otro lado, muchos críticos y fans echaron de menos la potencia y la complejidad de sus trabajos anteriores, considerando la producción algo delgada.
A pesar de su reputación, "Kill Uncle" contiene momentos de gran interés lírico. Morrissey sigue siendo un observador agudo, y en temas como "Mute Witness" o la controvertida "Asian Rut" despliega su habitual ingenio y capacidad para la provocación. En definitiva, es un disco de transición, una curiosa anomalía en su discografía que merece una reevaluación sin prejuicios.

- Our FrankVer letra
[X]letra de Our Frank
Our frank and open
Deep conversations
They get me nowhere
They bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you?
Give me a cigarette
God give me patience
Just no more conversation
Oh, give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else I'm gonna be sick
Sick all over
Your frankly vulgar
Red pullover
Now see how the colors blend
Our frank and open
Deep conversations
They get me nowhere
They just bring me down, so
Give it a rest, won't you?
Now will you just give over?
The world may be ending
But look, I'm only human
So, give us a drink
And make it quick
Or else I'm gonna be sick
All over
Your frankly vulgar
Red pullover
Now see how the two colors blend, my friend
Won't somebody help?
Won't somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time
About everything
Oh, somebody
From thinking all the time
So deeply, so bleakly?
So bleakly all the time
About everything?
(Who I am, how I ever got here)
Somebody stop me
From thinking
From thinking all the time
So bleakly, so bleakly
So bleakly all the time - Asian RutVer letra
[X]letra de Asian Rut
Day oh so late
Strangely the sun still shone
Ooh Asian boy
What are you on ?
Day oh so late
Strangely the sun still shone
Oh Asian boy
What are drugs are you on ?
Tooled-up Asian boy
Has come to take revenge
For the cruel, cold killing
Of his very best friend
Tooled-up Asian boy
Has come to avenge
The cruel, cold killing
Of his only friend
Ha! La, la, la, oh ...
There's peace through our school
It's so quiet in the hall
It's a strange sign for one
Of what's to come
Tough and cold and pale
Oh, they may just impale you on railings
Oh, English boys
It must be wrong
Three against one ?
Oh ...
Brakes slammed, and
His gun jammed, and
As far as I could tell
Brave Asian boy
Was dealt a blow and fell
I'm just passing through here
On my way to somewhere civilized
And maybe I'll even arrive
Maybe I'll even arrive - Sing Your LifeVer letra
[X]letra de Sing Your Life
Sing your life
Any fool can think of words that rhyme
Many others do
Why don't you?
Do you want to?
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
(Sing your life) - Mute WitnessVer letra
[X]letra de Mute Witness
Your poor witness
Crying so loudly on the floor
Oh, well, she's only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
She is only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
Now see her standing on the table
With her small arms flailing
And you feel such compassion
In your soul for
Your mute witness
Still testing the strength
Of our patience
Oh, well she's only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
She is only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
Now see her pointing to the Frisbee
With a memory so fuzzy
And her silent words
Describing the sight of last night
Four A.M. Northside, Clapham Common
Oh, god, what was she doing there ?
Will she sketch the answer later ?
Well, I will ask her
"Now dry your tears, my dear"
Now see her mime in time so nicely
It would all have been so clear
If only she had never volunteered
"Your taxi is here, my dear"
La, la, la-la... - King LeerVer letra
[X]letra de King Leer
Your boyfriend, he
Went down on one knee
Well, could it be
He's only got one knee?
I tried to surprise you
With Vodka
Or Tizer
I can't quite quite remember
But you didn't thank me
You didn't even thank me
Because you never do
Your boyfriend, he
Has the gift of the gab
Or, could it be
The gift of the grab?
I tried to surprise you
I lay down beside you
And ... nothing much happened
And you didn't phone me
You didn't even phone me
Because it's not your style
To dial
Your boyfriend, he
Has displayed to me
More than just a
Real hint of cruelty
I tried to surprise you
I crept up behind you
With a homeless chihuahua
You coo-ed for an hour
You handed him back and said
You'll never guess, I'm bored now - Found Found FoundVer letra
[X]letra de Found Found Found
Found found found
Found found found
Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming scheming
I've ...
Found found found
Found found found
Someone who's worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who's never
Seeming to be scheming
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
Oh, but if I'd never found
I do believe that
The more you give your love
And I do believe that
The more you give your trust
The more you give your trust
And the more you give your love
The more you're bound to lose
The more you're bound to lose
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
(Oh, but if I'd never found)
Somebody who wants to be
Who wants to be with me ...
...All the time - Driving Your Girlfriend HomeVer letra
[X]letra de Driving Your Girlfriend Home
I'm driving
Your girlfriend home
And she's saying
How she never chose you
Turn left, she says
I turn left
And she says
So how did I end up
So deeply involved in
The very existence
I planned on avoiding?
And I can't answer
I'm driving
Your girlfriend home
And she's laughing
To stop herself crying
Drive on, she says
I drive on
And she says
So how did I end up
Attached to this person
When his sense of humour
Gets gradually worser?
And I can't tell her
I'm parking
Outside her home
And we're shaking hands
Goodnight, so politelyMúsicos invitados: Linder Sterling (Voice [Additional]) - The Harsh Truth of the Camera EyeVer letra
[X]letra de The Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye
Churchillian legs
Hair barely there
Mmm, the harsh truth of the camera eye
Your eyes signal pain
Because of the strain of smiling
The harsh truth of the camera eye
Telling you all
That you never wanted to know
Showing you what
You didn't want shown
My so friendly lens
It zooms into
"The inner you"
And it tells the harsh truth
And nothing but
Laugh with us all now, here
If you can
Then take the pictures home
And scream
Oh oh ooh
Telling you all
That you never wanted to know
Showing what
You didn't want shown
This photographer
He must have really had it in for you
"Ooh, I don't want
To be judged anymore
I don't want to be judged
I would sooner be Loved
I would sooner be
Just blindly Loved ..." - (I'm) The End of the Family Line
- There's a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends
