Morrissey - We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful

Music video by Morrissey performing We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful.

[@silvijepranjic1976]

Only great people know how to joke at their own expense. Morrissey once said that he became a pop singer instead of a poet because no one reads poetry. With a gap of several decades, we all perceive him as a subtle poet of the generation with melodic verses full of sweet irony.

[@jimnewcombe7584]

I admire his some of his songs (not this rubbish) but not one of his songs would resemble poetry on the page

[@trevorfillips5526]

​@@jimnewcombe7584может потому что это песни, а не стихи. Ок, допустим он на самом деле не поэт, но тогда кто по вашему мнению мог бы считаться поэтом из поп-музыкантов?

Morrissey surrounded by beautiful young men. Shocking . Alhough the corentto scene when he smiles is so cute.

[@vonpickles3622]

American, so I just learned the word "cornetto"...ice cream scene great! Been listening to this man since the 80's and didn't realize (realise) he could smile. Was actually kinda nice to see.

[@vonpickles3622]

And I just asked my friends and no one else has heard of "cornetto"....so, you just educated a few dumb colonists....if I were near any of you I'd buy you a beer.

They were all so young here. This was the best version of the Moz band ever- Gary, Boz, Alain, Spencer & Moz- perfection.

This song means so much. Interesting perspective of those who pretend to be friends with some only to attempt to sabotage them if they try to grow.

It’s really depressingly true. I tried to better my life, and did. I make 200,000+ $ a year now, own 3 rental properties, and I’m happily married… all at age 29. Yet, my old friends hated that I became successful, and found excuses to stop talking to me. Such bullsh*t

Di tahun itu pas naik kelas 2 SMA, dan gara-gara tas sekolah saya banyak coret2an tipe-x band2 britpop macam Stone Roses, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Charlatans, Happy Mondays, The Cure dll akhirnya ada satu band di sekolah saya yang suka bawain Morrissey mengajak saya ngeband dan akhirnya lagu ini menjadi lagu andalan saat manggung bersama dengan lagu You're the one for me fatty.
