Morrissey
Steven Patrick Morrissey (born 22 May 1959), known mononymously as Morrissey, is an English singer, songwriter, and author.
He came to prominence as the frontman of the rock band the Smiths, which was active from 1982 to 1987.
Since then, he has pursued a commercially successful solo career.
Morrissey's music is characterised by his baritone voice and distinctive lyrical content featuring recurring themes of emotional isolation, sexual longing, self-deprecating and black humour, and anti-establishment stances.
Born to working-class Irish immigrants in Davyhulme, Lancashire, Morrissey grew up in nearby Manchester.
As a child, he developed a love of literature, kitchen sink realism, and pop music.
In the late 1970s, he fronted punk rock band the Nosebleeds with little success before beginning a career in music journalism and authoring several books on music and film in the early 1980s.
He formed the Smiths with Johnny Marr in 1982, soon attracting national recognition for their eponymous debut album.
As the band's frontman, Morrissey attracted attention for his trademark quiff and witty and sardonic lyrics.
Deliberately avoiding rock machismo, he cultivated the image of a sexually ambiguous social outsider who embraced celibacy.
The Smiths released three further studio albums—"Meat
Is
MurderThe Queen Is Dead", and "Strangeways, Here We Come"—and had a string of hit singles.
The band were critically acclaimed and attracted a cult following.
Personal differences between Morrissey and Marr resulted in the separation of the Smiths in 1987.
In 1988 Morrissey launched his solo career with "Viva Hate".
This album and its follow-ups—"Kill UncleYour Arsenal", and "Vauxhall and I"—all did well on the UK Albums Chart and spawned multiple hit singles.
Replacing Marr, he took on Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer as his primary co-writers.
During this time, his image began to shift into that of a burlier figure who toyed with patriotic imagery and working-class masculinity.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, his albums "Southpaw Grammar" and "Maladjusted" also charted but were less well received.
Relocating to Los Angeles, he took a musical hiatus from 1998 to 2003 before releasing a successful comeback album, "You Are the Quarry", in 2004.
Ensuing years saw the release of albums "
Ringleader of the TormentorsYears of RefusalWorld Peace Is None of Your BusinessLow in High School", and "California Son", as well as his autobiography and his debut novel, "List of the Lost".
Highly influential, Morrissey has been credited as a seminal figure in the emergence of indie rock and Britpop.
Regarded as one of the greatest lyricists in British history, his lyrics have become the subject of academic study.
He has been a controversial figure throughout his music career due to his forthright opinions and outspoken nature—endorsing vegetarianism and animal rights, criticising royalty and prominent politicians, and defending a particular vision of English national identity while critiquing the impact of immigration on the UK.
In a 2006 poll for the BBC's "Culture Show", Morrissey was voted the second-greatest living British cultural icon.

Spring-Heeled Jim
"Spring-Heeled Jim" is a song by British musician Morrissey from his 1994 album "Vauxhall and I".
The title may well be based upon Spring-heeled Jack, a semi-fantastical character from English folklore, alleged sightings and
lurid press reports said to be able to make phenomenal leaps.
The song features several samples from
"We Are the Lambeth Boys", a 1959 British documentary by Karel Reisz about the daily activities of members of the Alford House Youth Club, Kennington in late 1950s London.
The dialogue excerpted is from two conversations, one about a fight between two groups of young men and another about the abolition of the death penalty.
The lyrics of the song seem to be about a man who has gone through his life having lots of sex, but not 'slowing down' to embrace romance with one person.
The lyric 'He'll "do" but never be "done to", as well as the usual crude sexual imagery common to Morrissey songs
suggests the man refuses to let his lovers penetrate his emotional self.
"
Well it's the normal thing to do"; some men don't believe emotional intimacy is needed or something in their comfort zone so they have only shallow relationships.
The song ends on its last verse with the man in old age wondering "where did all the time go?".
