Morrissey (Spent The Day In Bed)

What a killer song. What biting and true lyrics. 

I am in just awe at how good Joe Chiccarelli is at producing. He has worked with such greats. And this song and album is a masterclass onto itself on how much detail there is in production. It certainly makes the mixers job WAAAAY easier when a song is produced this well. 

Spent the day in bed 
Very happy I did, yes 
I spent the day in bed 
As the workers stay enslaved 
I spent the day in bed 
I'm not my type, but 
I love my bed 
And I recommend that you 

Stop watching the news 
Because the news contrives to frighten you 
To make you feel small and alone 
To make you feel that your mind isn't your own 

I spent the day in bed 
It's a consolation 
When all my dreams 
Are perfectly legal 
In sheets for which I paid 
I am now laid 

And I recommend to all of my friends that they 

Stop watching the news 
Because the news contrives to frighten you 
To make you feel small and alone 
To make you feel that your mind isn't your own 

Oh time, do as I wish 
Time, do as I wish 
Oh time, do as I wish 
Time, do as I wish 
Oh time, do as I wish 
Time, do as I wish 
Oh time, do as I wish 
Do as I wish 

I spent the day in bed 
You can please yourself 
But, I spent the day in bed 
Pillows like pillars 
Life ends in death 
So, there's nothing wrong with 
Being good to yourself 
Be good to yourself for once 

And no bus, no boss, no rain, no train 
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train 
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train 
No emasculation, no castration 
No highway, freeway, motorway 
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train 
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train 
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train
