Is Morrissey a JW?

  I love Morrissey, actually. Recently it occurred to me that some of his lyrics reflect the JW mindset pretty well. Note "every day is like sunday" lyrics below (bolded for emphasis):

  Trudging slowly over wet sand
  Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
  This is the coastal town
  That they forgot to close down
  Armageddon - come Armageddon!
  Come, Armageddon! Come!

  Everyday is like Sunday
  Everyday is silent and grey

  Hide on the promenade
  Etch a postcard :
  "How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here"In the seaside town
  ...that they forgot to bomb
  Come, Come, Come - nuclear bomb

  Everyday is like Sunday
  Everyday is silent and grey

  Trudging back over pebbles and sand
  And a strange dust lands on your hands
  (And on your face...)
  (On your face ...)
  (On your face ...)
  (On your face ...)

  Everyday is like Sunday
  "Win Yourself A Cheap Tray"
  Share some greased tea with me
  Everyday is silent and grey

  Not as far as I know, but I do know that he was good friends with Viv Nicholson, y'know the "spend, spend, spend" lady who became a witness.

  I was looking for a religion and now I found a religion, and heaven knows I'm miserable now!

  Ouija board, ouija board, will you work for me?

  I think that settles the issue.

  Neil, I tend to agree with your analysis. Perhaps the odd thing was put into some songs when he was talking with Viv, probably to take the p*ss.

  Amac....the ouija board bit was when he turned apostate?!
