Reseña
Después de la aclamación casi unánime de `Vauxhall and I`, la continuación en la discografía de Morrissey fue una de las obras más desafiantes y controvertidas de su carrera: "Southpaw Grammar" (1995). En este álbum, el artista se aleja deliberadamente del pop alternativo para adentrarse en terrenos más cercanos al rock progresivo y el hard rock. Por lo tanto, es un disco denso, agresivo y de escucha exigente.
El álbum se abre con "The Teachers Are Afraid of the Pupils", una pieza de más de once minutos que utiliza un sample de la "Sinfonía n.º 5" de Shostakovich, estableciendo un tono épico y ominoso. Asimismo, el disco se cierra con "Southpaw", otra larga suite instrumental. Esta estructura, de hecho, descolocó a muchos de sus seguidores.
Entre estos dos colosos, encontramos canciones de rock más directas pero igualmente contundentes, como "Dagenham Dave" o "The Boy Racer". Ciertamente, "Southpaw Grammar" es un trabajo valiente y sin concesiones, la obra de un artista que se niega a repetirse. Aunque en su día dividió a la crítica, con el tiempo ha sido revalorizado como uno de sus proyectos más audaces.

- The Teachers Are Afraid of the PupilsVer letra 11:15
[X]letra de The Teachers Are Afraid of the Pupils
There's too many people
Planning your downfall
When your spirit's on trial
These nights can be frightening
Sleep transports sadness
To some other mid-brain
And somebody here
Will not be here next year
So you stand by the board
Full of fear and intention
And, if you think that they're listening
Well, you've got to be joking
Oh, you understand change
And you think it's essential
But when your profession
Is humiliation
Say the wrong word to our children ...
We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you
Lay a hand on our children
And it's never too late to have you
Mucus on your collar
A nail up through the staff chair
A blade in your soap
And you cry into your pillow
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
Say the wrong word to our children ...
We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you
Lay a hand on our children
And it's never too late to have you
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
(I'm very glad the spring has come
The sun shines out so bright
All the birds that are on the trees
Are singing for delight) - Reader Meet AuthorVer letra 3:39
[X]letra de Reader Meet Author
You don't know a thing about their lives
They live where you wouldn't dare to drive
You shake as you think of how they sleep
But you write as if you
All lie side by side
Reader meet Author
With the hope of hearing sense
But you may be feeling let down
By the words of defence
He says "no-one ever sees me when I cry"
You don't know a thing about their lives
Books don't save them
Books aren't Stanley knives
And if a fight broke out here tonight
You'd be the first away
Because you're that type
And the Year 2000 won't change anyone here
As each fabled promise flies so fast
You'll swear it was never there
Oh, have you ever escaped from a shipwrecked life?
So safely with your software
All miles from the front line
You hear the way the sad voice sings
And you start to imagine things
Oh, any excuse to write more lies - The Boy RacerVer letra 4:45
[X]letra de The Boy Racer
He's just too good-natured and
He's got too much money and
He's got too many girlfriends
I'm jealous, that's all
Have you seen him go, though, oh?
Have you seen him go, though, oh?
Boy racer
Boy racer, oh
We're gonna kill this pretty thing
Boy racer
Boy racer, oh
We're gonna kill this pretty thing
He's got many girlfriends
He thinks he owns this city
He overspeeds and he never gets pulled over
Have you seen him go, though, oh?
Have you seen him go, though, oh?
Boy racer
Boy racer, oh
We're gonna kill this pretty thing
Boy racer
Boy racer, oh
We're gonna kill this pretty thing
He thinks he got the whole world in his hands
Stood at the urinal
He thinks he got the whole world in his hands
And I'm gonna... kill him
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh...
Boy racer
Boy racer, oh
We're gonna kill this pretty thing
Boy racer
Boy racer, oh
We're gonna kill this pretty thing

He's just too good-looking, and
And, and...

We're gonna kill this pretty thing
Boy racer
Boy racer, oh
We're gonna kill this pretty thing - The OperationVer letra 6:52
[X]letra de The Operation
You fight with your right hand
And caress with your left hand
Everyone I know is sick to death of you
With a tear that's a mile wide
In the kite that you're flying
Everyone I know is sick to death of you
Ever since
You don't look the same
You're just not the same, no way
You say clever things and
You never used to
You don't catch what I'm saying
When you're deafened to advice
Everyone here is sick to the
Back teeth of you
With a tear that's a mile wide
In the kite that you're flying
Everyone here is sick to the
Tattoo of you
Ever since
You don't look the same
You're just not the same, no way
You say pleasant things and
There is no need to
Still, you fight with your right hand
And caress with your left hand
Ooh, ooh...
Sad to say
How once I was in love with you
Sad to say
You don't catch what I'm saying
When you're deafened to advice
Ooh, ooh...
Ever since
You don't look the same
You're just not the same, no way
What the hell have
They stuck into you? - Dagenham DaveVer letra 3:13
[X]letra de Dagenham Dave
Head in the clouds
And a mouthful of pie
Head in a blouse
Everybody loves him
I see why
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Oh, Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Oh, Dagenham Dave
"I love Karen, I love Sharon" on the windowscreen
With never the need to fight
Or to question a single thing
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Oh, Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Oh, Dagenham Dave
He'd love to touch
He's afraid that he might self-combust
I could say more
But you get the general idea
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave
Dagenham, Dagenham
Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave

I turn the music down

And I don't know why
This is my house

No, no, no, it's not gonna work out

[X]letra de Southpaw
You were a boy before you became a man
I don't see the joy
And you ran with your pals in the sun
You turned around and they were gone
Again ...
A sick boy should be treated
So easily defeated
Oh, I just don't understand
So you ran with your pals in the sun
You turned around
You were alone
Again ...
And you ran back to Ma
Which set the pace for the rest of your days
Oh, you ran back to Ma
Which set the pace for the rest of your days
Oh, you ran back to Ma
Which set the pace for the rest of your days
And now, there is something that you should know
There is something that you should know
The girl of your dreams is
Here all alone
Girl of your dreams is
Here all alone
The girl of your dreams is
Sad and all alone
The girl of your dreams is
Here all alone
There is something that you should know
There is something that you should know
Girl of your dreams is
Here all alone
The girl of your dreams is
Sad and is all alone
The girl of your dreams is
Sad and is feeling all alone
Oh, there is something that you should know
Help me, help me, help me ...
