My Arms Around Paris

O primeiro single do novo álbum do Morrissey (Years of Refusal - ver o meu post de 31 de Dezembro) chama-se I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris e tem letra do próprio :-)).

Sai dia 9 de Fevereiro. Enquanto que na capa de Years of Refusal, Morrissey aparece com um bebé nos braços, na capa do primeiro single, Morrissey e os membros da banda aparecem nus. De acordo com o Ipsilon, “com provas de ginásio num corpo que durante a década de 80 era, todo ele, fragilidade e androginia”.

A avaliar pela letra do single, será vasta a dimensão poética do álbum. Ora vejam.

I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris

In the absence of your love
And in the absence of human touch
I have decided
I’m throwing my arms around, around Paris
Because only stone and steel accept my love.

In the absence of your smiling face
I traveled all over the place
And I have decided
I’m throwing my arms around, around Paris
Because only stone and steel accept my love
I’m throwing my arms around, around Paris
Because only stone and steel accept my love.

I’m throwing my arms around Paris
Because nobody wants my love
Nobody wants my love
Nobody needs my love
Nobody wants my love

Yes, you made yourself plain
Yes, you made yourself very plain
