Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.

I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.

Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.

The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark. It scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark.

Somebody should clip Sting around the head and tell him to stop using that ridiculous Jamaican accent.

Don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think. And don't try to read my mind, because it's full of disappearing ink.

Why'd you have to say that there's always someone who can do it better than I can And don't you think that I know that walkin' on water won't make me a miracle man
