Reseña
"Years of Refusal" de 2009 es, posiblemente, el álbum más ruidoso, rápido y agresivo en la discografía de Morrissey. Producido por Jerry Finn, conocido por su trabajo con bandas de punk-rock como Blink-182, el disco es una explosión de energía guitarrera. Por lo tanto, es la obra de un artista que, pasados los cincuenta años, decide firmar su trabajo más juvenil y desafiante.
Desde el primer tema, "Something Is Squeezing My Skull", el tono queda claro: guitarras afiladas, una batería contundente y un Morrissey cantando con una urgencia y una ferocidad notables. El álbum fue el último en contar con el guitarrista y co-compositor Alain Whyte, cuya aportación es fundamental para el sonido del disco.
A pesar de su potencia, no faltan los momentos de sensibilidad pop, como en el primer sencillo "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris". No obstante, el tono general es de confrontación y rabia. En definitiva, "Years of Refusal" es un disco visceral y sin concesiones, una descarga de rock and roll que demuestra que la llama de la rebeldía seguía muy viva en el artista.

[X]letra de Something Is Squeezing My Skull
I'm doing very well
I can block out
the present and the past now
I know by now you think I should have
straightened myself out
Thank you, drop dead
Something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
there is no love in modern life
I'm doing very well
it's a miracle I even made it this far
the motion of taxis excites me
will when you peel it back and bite me?
Something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
there is no hope in modern life
Something is squeezing my skull
Something I can't fight
no true friends in modern life

Don't gimmie anymore
don't gimmie anymore
don't gimmie anymore

PLEASE DON'T gimmie anymore

oh you swore
you swore!

[X]letra de Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed
Mama, why did you do it?
Mama, who drove you to it?
Was it the pigs in grey suits
Persecuting you?
Uncivil servants unconcerned
At how they frighten you?
Life is nothing much to lose
It's just so lonely here without you
Mama, why did you do it?
Mama, who drove you to it?
Spare priggish money-men
Who scared the life out of you
Bailiffs with bad-breath
I will slit their throats for you
Life is nothing much to lose
It's just so lonely here
Without you, Mama
Life is nothing much to lose
It's just so lonely here without you, so
We're gonna run to you
We're gonna come to you
We're gonna lie down
Beside you, Mama
We're gonna be with you
We're gonna join you
We're gonna lie down
Beside you, Mama
And we will be safe and
sheltered in our graves
We'll come before you
And we will kiss you
By way of one final hug, MamaMúsicos invitados: Kristopher Pooley (Backing Vocals) - Black CloudVer letra 2:48
[X]letra de Black Cloud
(Can you see the black cloud?)
The one I love
Is standing near
The one I love
Is everywhere
I can woo you
I can amuse you
But there is nothing I can do
to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud
The one I love
Roosts in the mind
Can snap this spell
Or, increase hell
I can chase you
And I can catch you
But there is nothing I can do
to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud
Oh, black cloud
Oh, black cloud
I play the game of Favorites now
I can I must I will I do
I can please you
Or, I can freeze you out
But there is nothing I can do
to make you mine
Black cloud, black cloud, black cloud
I can choke myself to please you
And I can sink much lower than usual
But there's nothing I can do
To make you mineMúsicos invitados: Jeff Beck (Guitar) - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris 2:31

[X]letra de All You Need Is Me
You hiss and groan and you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away
That's because
All you need is me
You roll your eyes up to the skies
Mock horrified
But you're still here
All you need is me
There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me
You bang your head against the wall
And say you're sick of it all
Yet you remain
'Cause all you need is me
And then you offer your one and only joke
And you ask me what will I be
When I grow up to be a man
Me? Nothing!
There's a soft voice singing in your head
Who could this be?
I do believe it's me
There's a naked man standing, laughing in your dreams
You know who it is
But you don't like what it means
There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me
I was a small, fat child in a welfare house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just
Handed it to me - whoopee
You don't like me, but you love me
Either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone - When Last I Spoke to CarolVer letra 3:24
[X]letra de When Last I Spoke to Carol
When last I spoke to Carol I said:
"I can't pretend it gets easier."
She said: "I've hung on,
I have edged around this narrow ledge
Since the day I was born in 1975."
When last I spoke to Carol I said:
"I can't pretend I feel love for you."
She said: "I've hammered
A smile across this pasty face of mine
Since the day I was born in 1975."
When I said goodbye to Carol
Black earth upon the casket fell
She had faded to
Something I always knew
To the rescue
Nobody ever comesMúsicos invitados: Kristopher Pooley (Backing Vocals), Mark Isham (Trumpet) - That's How People Grow Up 2:59

[X]letra de One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
Always be careful
when you abuse the one you love
The hour or the day no one can tell
But one day "goodbye" will be "farewell"
And you will never see
the one you love again
You will never see
the one you love again
I have been thinking ("What with?")
My final brain-cell
How Time grips you slyly in its spell
And, before you know,
goodbye will be farewell
And you will never see
the one you love again
And the smiling children
tell you that you smell
Well, just look at me
- a savage beast
I've got nothing to sell
And when I die
I want to go to hell
And that's when
goodbye should be farewell
Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta
One day "goodbye"
will be "farewell"
So grab me while
we still have the timeMúsicos invitados: Kristopher Pooley (Backing Vocals), Mark Isham (Trumpet) - It's Not Your Birthday Anymore 5:10
- You Were Good in Your TimeVer letra 5:01
[X]letra de You Were Good in Your Time
Let the heart rest
Lay back your head
You were good in your time
And we thank you
You made me feel less alone
You made me feel not quite so
Deformed, uninformed and hunchback
Time takes all breath away
You were good in your time
And we thank you so
You said more in one day
Than most people say
In a lifetime, it was our time
And we thank you
An end-of-the-ride sigh
Your soft smile says:
"Please understand, I must surrender."
Then you grip with your hand
Now so small in mine
Are you aware wherever you are
That you have just died? - Sorry Doesn't Help 4:03
- I'm OK by Myself 4:48
