Morrissey - Seasick, Yet Still Docked (Acoustic Alternate Version)

LYRICS
I am a poor, freezingly cold soul
So far from where I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go
Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But, you see, I've got no charm
Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day
And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool to pass me by
SESSION: Your Arsenal
SONG WRITERS: Morrissey/Alain Whyte

Proof that his solo work is, as good, or even better, than The Smiths.

[@kevinhall2829]

Sometimes a song takes you to another place because it's on such a higher level than most this is one. Morrissey = genius.

[@AlsatianCousin]

I agree completely!!❤❤❤❤❤ One word I have to describe Morrissey is Genius. Why do I love him?? He's a Genius.

[@Gholden1972]

This takes my back 25 years to year 24. At a place i was not intending to go.

I was in college when he released this. 30 years ago.

[@jamesonjaksch4883]

This version is eons better than the original for me, purely because of the airiness of the production on this version. Gives it a much more isolated/aimless feeling that I think matches the theme of the song perfectly.

[@THESM1THS]

So far from where I intended to go Temporal dreams not realised ... but there is still a glimmer of hope.

This gave me chills. He has the most beautiful voice, ever.

[@Artifacts187]

i love this song. because it defines me . its about me and how its interpretation is so vividly written.... its haunts me ...it calls out to me...

[@philipford6183]

That's the thing about Morrissey; his lyrics seem often to speak to his listeners on an almost personal, intimate level. For instance, 'Late Night, Maudlin Street' could be a word-for-word retelling of my own banal boyhood growing up in a non-descript English town. For me personally, no other artist can do this - just reach in and directly speak to one's own life experiences. It's just uncanny. And this song is no exception, either.

[@sunshaped]

man, this song was like my constant soundtrack on ferry rides every morning to go to high school in Manhattan. All of Your Arsenal, but this song, especially.

[@CharlyBown77]

[@Ikilledthebanks]

I’m a poor freezingly cold soul... of course it’s about depression

[@DoctorMeatDic]

It's not "about depression". It's that feeling of hopelessness that we all feel at some point in our lives, when all we want to do is stay in bed and wish the world away and be alone. It's called the "human condition" and no pills or therapy can cure you of being a human.

[@Chandnibeingchandni]

Feels like watching night winter sky by lying down outside. Which is full of stars. With my favorite friends who loves him as well.

[@jam-nc8ut]

To me this incredible song is the feeling of waking up to a dark morning, in a cold, tired room, with a heavy sigh, realizing the sheer pain of everyday life, and pulling the quilt over my head, waiting for the pain to pass. Knowing it probably never will.

You saw the name "Morrissey" and you think Irish connection, Anthony Seamus Morrissey, finest pigsty muckraker I ever had the pleasure of striking up a ditty with. If you're listening Anthony, I vicariously dedicate this tune to you, as you used to murder it over the odd pint, and hope that the donkey are less wet in Australia than in West Connemara. "Anam alainn", miss you buddy

[@simonreynolds7988]

Great version. If you like this....try Joni Mitchell 'Silky veils of ardor' and view the lyrics.

[@thewildmitchell]

Before ever hearing this song, the title always seemed novelty to me like this song would just be another King Leer type of song but how wrong was I? Some of the most poignant lyrics I've ever heard.

[@AlsatianCousin]

Yeah, it's nothing like King Lear. The song title remains me of The Smiths Still Ill. The song also slightly reminds me of This song doesnt end when its over.

[@thewildmitchell]

​@@AlsatianCousin That's actually a really good comparison to Still Ill. Both really strong and dark lyrics but with a pithy title - he does like to mess with expectations, just like how every Smiths song sounds upbeat until you actually listen to the words haha.

[@tomimpala]

The one Mozza song I can't get on board with. Delivered so flatly despite the romantic music backdrop. The "No one has given me anything" line really annoys me when you think about how his mum supported him as he didn't work. Unless he means in a romantic sense, in which case what an entitled thing to say! There was more charm in 'I am human and I need to be loved' if that's what he was going for.

[@Zizzyyzz]

How do you know he's speaking about his own experience? Might not be as autobiographical as you assume.

[@paulseylv]

IMO mum doesn't count - that's what parents are SUPPOSED to do. Thinking this is more about the people in his or someone's life that were supposed to be friends but turned out to be not so friendly. True friends give because they want to - not because it's owed P.D.M.

[@johall1736]

I Do Monologue

[@jimmythickness]

I used to think this too .. it was almost a perfect song but that one line made me go "hang on, thats just not true". But then I began wondering whether its sung knowingly. Almost in a self-pity way. He, the person writing the song knows he the support he's had (even if he does like to talk about how its never been there) ... but he's singing from a place of deep depression where people can be blinded to logic and rationale. Where things like "people are there to help me, people love me" can be so difficult to believe that you just simply find it easier to assuming its the truth.

[@adam_web3226]

He actually did work as a civil service clerk and as a hospital porter. Despite the lyric "I never had a job because im too shy". Not all songs have to be interpreted so literal
