aka. "It's such a good feeling"

a rock version of that song a la boz and alain would rule!

"i think i'll make a snappy new day!" (snap!snap!)

Here's my humble list (some perhaps too obvious, but oh well)...

"Stay Together" by London Suede

"Crowds" by Bauhas

"I'll Fall With Your Knife" by Peter Murphy

"Inbetween Days" by the Cure

"One" by U2

"Hell" By the Squirrel Nut Zippers (a nice rockabilly version please).

"Lady Stardust" by David Bowie

"Paris, 1919" by John Cale

"Hang Down Your Head" by Tom Waits

"Baby's on Fire" by Brian Eno

"20th Century Boy" by T. Rex (yes, another T. Rex cover)

"Everybody Hurts" by REM

How about Space oddity..stardust?

Garbage - Only Happy When it Rains
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
David Bowie - Derranged
Blur - Sing
Blur - The Death of The Party
Specials - Doesn't Make it Alright
Bjork - Army of Me

I think anything that Stephin Merritt has written is fair game, but in particular "Meaningless" from 69 Love Songs. I had hoped that Morrissey was going to show up on the 6ths album, but that album was kind of a disappointment, so I'm glad he didn't.

Bridge Over Troubled Waters - Simon & Garfunkel
The Things You Said - Depeche Mode
I Don't Love Anyone - Belle & Sebastian
The Asphalt World - London Suede
Keep Me From Harm - Peter Murphy
Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears
Stranger In Moscow - Michael Jackson
Glad To Be Unhappy - Mamas & The Papas
Remember The Tinman - Tracy Chapman
Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

"Amnesia" Frank Black, "Jesus Is My Girlfiend" Babybird, "Do Policemen Sing?" Robyn Hichcock, "Latter Days" Over the Rhine, "Summer Babe" Pavement, "Take Me Out" Red House Painters, "Testure" Skinny Puppy, "One More Minute" Weird Al Yankovic, "Fisherman's Blues" The Waterboys.

Songs by:

Ivy (Has anyone heard the new disc? Wonderful...)
Trashcan Sinatras (Oh, what could have been...)
Gene (Oh, what still might be...)
Belle and Sebastian (The Reigning Kings...)
The Sundays (Come back, please...)

Members from each of these bands have listed Morrissey and The Smiths as primary influences, so it would be a fitting tribute to hear Morrissey sing any of their songs. Of course, I'd like Morrissey to put out a new cd of his own immediately, if not sooner!!!!

Cheers from Atlanta!

I think that Morrissey would do a great cover of a Siouxsie and the Banshees song, or a Gene song...

Radioheads "Creep" would be an excellent song for Morrissey to cover. That song screams out Morrissey!!!

"My Way"...

that would be nice=)

I think Morrissey's music is very similar in sound, lyrics, and emotion to Ray Davies and The Kinks. Morrissey should acknowledge that and cover some Kinks songs as a show of respect.

I feel these songs would be just dandy as a Morrissey cover.

Every Breath You Take- The Police
I Cant Make You Love Me- Bonnie Rait
A New England- Billy Bragg
In Your Eyes- Peter Gabriel
On My Way -The Watchmen
Recovering The Satelites (the song not the album)-Counting Crows
The New Messiah- The Philosopher Kings
Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground- Willie Nelson
and lastly, Crawl by Linkin Park (for that healthy dose of rage and pity ;-) )

Well that's it that's all.
Welcome back to school kiddies, muahahahaha!!!!
Sincerely,
DeB of the West Sider Riders ;-)

...especially "All Fall Down" and "New Europeans." A duet with Midge Ure would be heavenly.

i know moz had already done a suede song but i would love to hear him do "pantomime horse".

maybe an English translation? ... I thought about this when I heard the rumour that Moz would cover the 'My name is mortimer' song

Bauhaus "All we ever wanted, was everything"

Siouxsie & TB: "Christine"

Zbigniew Preisner: "Lacrimosa"

Both sides, now

Why on earth should Morrissey debase himself?

It was a very good year
....
well, it was really written by Ervin M. Drake

....

When I was seventeen it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights on the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one it was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair and it came undone
When I was twenty-one

Then I was thirty-five it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means, we'd ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short, I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs, and it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years

"Northern Sky" by Nick Drake

"Hey Jealous Lover" by Frank Sinatra

Hands Down The Best Song That Mr. Patrick Can Ever Cover Is Lullaby" By The Cure Other THan That It'd Be "Drive-In Saturday" By David Bowie But he alreaady covered That One.

How about something far out there for Moz. I think he should try some Metallica. I could see a version of "Enter Sandman" and a few others. Deftones are known to be fans of Morrissey and The Smiths... why not return the favor. "Bored" and "Be Quiet and Drive." How about a couple Misfits covers!?

He could always cover old Smiths stuff in a punk style. It can be done, I've done it myself.

I also have to add "Here's Where The Story Ends" by The Sundays and "Somethings Always Wrong" by Toad The Wet Sprocket.

Edith Piaf "Hymn to Love"
Cranes "Adoration"
Francoise Hardy "Je Changerais D'Avis"
Scott Walker "My Death"
Phil Ochs "The Crucifixion"
Cock Sparrer "England Belongs to Me"
Holly & the Italians "Tell That Girl to Shut Up"
Into Another "Without a Medium"
Lush "Heavenly Nobodies"
Iron Maiden "Wasted Years"

"Oops! I dit it again"

I think Moz should do these, they have so much emotion.


MADE FOR EACH OTHER

She says how nothing's really the matter
And, as he moves towards her:
"Don't be kind, you'll only make me cry."

Now he's holding her in his arms,
Tears are streaming from her eyes.
She's sorry she gave him no second chance.
He says that she need not apologize:
"You're not to blame, the fault's all mine."

They both know how there's going to be no happy ending.
And they both know how probably there will be no finding
The like of their love again,
The like of their love again.
Then she says how she misses him,
And it's all too sad -
Made for each other,
But not made to last.

He's not crying like she's worried he is,
Only dying over this.
How did it ever get so bad
They'd end up here,
Unable to get back.,
Find their way back?

FAREWELL TO FOREVER

This is my, my goodbye to a blue-eyed girl,
My farewell to forever.
No long last kiss, only this:
Someone coming to their senses.
It's taken me a long, long time to get here.

But she's so far from what she was,
She doesn't need me like before,
There's been too much forgetting.
For that part of her busy life,
That part for me she sets aside,
It's time to stop living.

I don't know what my future is,
I just know who it isn't with.

LETTER NEVER SENT

If I knew you didn't miss me,
If I knew you didn't think of me,
If I knew your feelings for me
Were dead and buried,
It would be hard, but not as hard as
This knowing you still care -
It would be easier
Than knowing there's still something there.

I know how you don't need this
But I just can't keep quiet.
You've left me feeling so lost,
Where do I go with it?
I know you have a new life,
I know you're not unhappy,
I know that he's good to you -
But don't you just want things easy?

So go ahead and hate me,
I know I promised I would leave it -
A troublemaker's what you've made me
But can't you see we're worth it?
We just belong together,
I think somewhere inside you know it.
Would you admit it ever?
I just don't think it's complicated.

Life shouldn't be about:
"I'm happy, but..."
I just think you should chase
Specialness
For love.

I guess all I'm really saying
Is how I think you're wrong here,
And some things are worth the chaos
That they come along with.
Don't you want more?
Don't you want to burn?
Burn again?

I'd like to see Moz and the boys play

"I don't want a boyfriend I just want a motorcycle."

Eye.

i can picture Morrissey doing a cover for Depeche Mode of course. I picture it being "Personal Jesus" or "Things You Said"....awwww...whudda great idea =)

What about "His Latest Flame" by Elvis? It's my favorite Elvis song. It's actually the B side to "Little Sister". Both songs would be fantastic for Morrissey to cover...Other than those, I can't think of anything else.

These are some of the worst suggestions imaginable. I'm embarrassed to read on!

Any song by The Smiths. Hehe...

01. "Holiday" - Get Up Kids;
02. "Sparks" - Coldplay;
03. "Only in dreams" - Weezer;
04. "Two rivers" - Meat Puppets;

06. "The Universal" - Blur;
07. "Policy of truth" - Depeche Mode;
08. "Death on two legs" - Queen; (in a southpawgrammarish way.."

09. "Take on me" - A-ha;
10. "Let down" - Radiohead.

See ya in the pit!

i'd love to hear moz's beatiful voice covering (again) any twinkle's song...it could be "soldier's dream" or "Johnny"
and also "all we ever wanted was everything" of bauhaus would be nice!

...good night and thank you!...

Perhaps he could cover:
"What's Going On" by Sublime
and if he's really bored "Players Ball" by Outkast!

Well we all know the supposed bad blood between The Cure and Moz but you have to admit "Just Like Heaven" is one hell of a song i saw this question on another poll and most Moz fans favored this song out of all songs. hey and what better way to put away the feud between the two bands.

exuse any typos its so hard to concentrate on typing while i'm choking back my vomit. this is obviously a great way for everyone here to show everyone else here what "great" taste they have in music. wretch. i nearly lost it when i read the post by the little girl who thought it would be adorable if morrissey covered personal jesus. were you recently let out of prison or a dark cave? my god, to even suggest moz cover a song by those no talent hacks makes me wretch. then there's idiots trying to be cool by listing shit so frickin obscure that you and three other people would even recognize it as a cover in the first place. congratulations on showing everyone how fucking hip you are. i wish i hadn't sent in a donation, david. what happened to this site? it used to be the best, now i just don't know. "moz in dublin"....."smiths mention here"......"morrissey comparison there" who cares??? who cares at all really. i think the next moz album will be the sequel to "smiths is dead." he is done. four plus years is a long time to wait between albums when you aren't being successful in the first place. thanks for the memories moz, see you in vegas.

he should do Je ne sais pas pourquoi by Kylie, he would make my heart skip, and jump!
