True, Nick hasn't been displaying the wit. I tend to think that's what California and the easy life does to people.bcolephases wrote:YEah he does have some memorable bass lines, notably on headmaster ritual, queen is dead, and this charming man. Nick used to be my fav lyricist too before DTOM. Now its just predictable.Morrissey's lyrics are definitely very tongue in cheek (which is one of the reasons I appreciate him).The Smiths album Meat is Murder is a very dark album, IMO, and also very good. Rusholme Ruffians is a particular favorite of mine, Headmasters ritual "A CRACK ON THE HEAD, is just what you get for not asking). I think on that album of above all else the bassist Andy Rourke shined. P-nut's awesome, but Andy Rourke and can really put together a bass line.
Even though Mozzer is rich and successful, he never quite gets away from being a mope.
