Southpaw

[@motherb.3896]

There`s no words to describe how perfect this song is!

[@proripp]

I'm 48 from Salford, when I was a kid I used to see this lad wanderin round Salford and Manchester lost in a world of his own ! Who wudda thought that I would end up worshipping him ? Fuck me GENIUS ! This track hypnotises me every fuckin time !!!

[@western-oud1898]

Easily in my all time top five morrissey/Smiths songs..

[@alexmoz23]

Very underrated Moz song! One of my favs! Viva Moz! Because We Must!!!

[@stevenvoynow561]

This is my favorite Morrissey song~! These lyrics are incredible. Especially when he sings about "running back to his mother" and when he "runs with his pals in the sun and turns around his friends are all gone". Stephen is no-doubt the best artist during my lifetime~

[@BeatlesFan1975]

I was just going to say the same thing. This song is a masterpiece. I usually stop listening after 7-8 minutes and START IT OVER AGAIN!!!!

[@BeatlesFan1975]

I relate to these lyrics, BIG TIME sadly.... 😧

[@cc92103]

"Which set the pace..." very powerful indeed.

[@bcawley34]

I had the refrain stuck in my brain for 2 months, and finally found this. Has to be my favorite Morrissey song!

[@ctriamimgons]

Just a haunting track. Beautiful. Really one of the band's best.

[@leehippo1]

One of the most underrated Morrissey song, excellent!!!'

Brilliant song. And a great video, never has one man accosted by so many people who just wanted a hug

[@adolfoozaeta9976]

Everything Morrissey related stands the test of time.

[@riverrhine9]

Genius! Thank you for posting this.. I always look for this song on youtube and I finally found it!

[@mozaztecac25]

No dislikes. That's what I like to see. Only true Morrissey fans watch the long vids

[@retroxvampire]

I have "southpaw" tattooed inside my left wrist and "grammar" tattooed inside the other.

[@EM.1.]

Does that make you cool?

[@JBackkkkk]

@@EM.1. too cool for school

[@amandaalves3230]

@@EM.1. Not as cool as leaving cutting comments to strangers online makes you? Perhaps he just wanted to share his expression of love for an artist and their music with other people who feel the same.

Hermoso tema y bello álbum I love Mozz

And now, there is something that you should know There is something that you should know The girl of your dreams is Here all alone Girl of your dreams is Here all alone The girl of your dreams is Sad and all alone The girl of your dreams is Here all alone

[Verse 1] You were a boy before You became a man I don't see the joy And you ran with your pals in the sun You turned around and they were gone Again [Verse 2] A sick boy should be treated So easily defeated Oh, I just don't understand So you ran with your pals in the sun You turned around You were alone Again And you ran back to Ma Which set the pace for the rest of your days Oh, you ran back to Ma Which set the pace for the rest of your days Ohuoh, oh, you ran back to Ma Which set the pace for the rest of your days [Verse 3] And now, there is something that you should know There is something that you should know The girl of your dreams is here all alone The girl of your dreams is here all alone The girl of your dreams is Sad and all alone The girl of your dreams is Here and all alone There is something that you should know There is something that you should know Girl of your dreams is Here all alone The girl of your dreams is Sad and is all alone The girl of your dreams is Sad and is feeling all alone Oh, there is something that you should know [Instrumental Section] [Outro] Help me, help me, help me

[@amigaswos]

La meilleur de Morrissey! Great song!

[@Frip36]

How is it possible that no one mentions the guitarist when it's one of the greatest solos ever?

[@cc92103]

Must be acknowledged! Either Alain Whyte or Boz Boorer, they both played on the album. Both way too legit also.

[@Frip36]

@@cc92103 I inquired. It's Alain Whyte. I think Boz is more straightforward rock 'n roll. The outro solo on Southpaw is stratospheric.

[@cc92103]

Alain has the chops for sure. This is next level talent throughout all of SG.

[@Frip36]

@@cc92103 How do you feel about the full album Southpaw Grammar. I only rate two songs. Boy Racer and Southpaw.

[@baileyrob]

@@Frip36 Southpaw is the only real gem in this album I think. It has emotional depth yet to be unearthed by modern society.

[@yaeli_i_guess]

Morrissey is a perfect human being.

[@simonedgbaston]

He is just a human 😂

[@dean8696]

They never did a video for this, I'm sure this is a fan made one.

[@SireMario444]

isn't that MORRISSEY @ 1:17 into the video??

[@mrd2616]

This song is so true. The girl of your dreams is here sad and all alone. My girl of my dreams is not here she committed suicide on valentine's day 2015 I guess she was sad and all alone. I miss her sooooo much. I still don't understand why she did that. I love you my queen victoria one day were gonna be together again.

[@motherb.3896]

I am so incredibly sorry! That you can never really understand.Take your time.

[@Oliviacaptain]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@briangibson1640]

Mr D- I just happened to read your comment, today…Valentines Day. I hope you’re well, my friend!

So brilliant

[@baileyrob]

You turned around, You were alone, Again.

[@no22a]

Where does the first video come from? It goes well with the song!

[@DB-mu9ml]

It's the opening for Introducing Morrissey video 94 live show. The original song is Jerusalem.

[@alexanderlennon5509]

Yeah i should've know .....sadly....

[@KevinOviedoD]

there is not a live version.. morrissey has never sang this one on a performance...

[@tenderless22]

Kevin Oviedo no never! I tried getting him to, but he said no one knew how to play it! Lol

[@TheLADYDEAN13]

no no why does it change videos?? Then wat video is it in the beginning??? Someone let me know!

[@barbconch]

umm I was quoting the song not referring to a personal situation. I'm married to the girl of my dreams. That's really a weird comment...I'm sure Morrissey would approve of your eloquent statement.

[@Frip36]

Who is playing lead guitar here? Whyte or Boorer?

[@michelevicario5681]

[@dazpearce2096]

Wonderful song with touching lyrics and the guitars are great here too - well done Alain and Boz. I just can't forgive Southpaw Grammar for Dagenham Dave, which lets it down bigtime. Otherwise brilliant.

[@ctriamimgons]

Anyone knows of a live version of this track??
