I understand that, the lyrics in A Message are simple and they're really nice, plus they make sense:
My song is love
Love to the loveless, shown
And it goes up
You don't have to be alone
Your heavy heart
Is made of stone
And its so hard to see you clearly
You don't have to be on your own
You don't have to be on your own
And I'm not gonna take it back
Well I'm not gonna say I don't mean that
Your the target that I'm aiming at
And I get that message home
...etc
But Swallowed in The Sea...
You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me
and that’s what made me see where I was going wrong
I'm sorry, WHAT?!
Does that actually make sense to anyone? I like simple lyrics, but they need to make sense to me, and that just doesn't.
And I prefer The Smiths to Morissey's solo stuff anyway.
