Morrissey just launched his 13th album called I Am Not A Dog On A Chain. It was recorded at La Fabrique in Saint-Remy-de Provence, France and Hollywood’s Sunset Sound. The former singer of The Smiths did a collaboration with producer Joe Chicharelli who have produced four studio albums for Morrissey.
This album sounds bold and adventurous where Morrissey proved himself as a songwriter and singer on his music and lyrics. He released his single, a collaboration with Thelma Houston called Bobby, Don’t You Think They Know?
Bobby, Don’t You Think They Know?
Ice snow, spikes blow
Bobby don’t you think they know?
Oh, Bobby don’t you think they know?
Aren’t you tired of pretending?
I know, you’re tortured below
Aren’t you tired of pretending?
I know, you’re tortured down below
Scag shack, Mexican mud
Little Jo in the snow
Bobby don’t you think they know?
Oh, Bobby don’t you think they know?
Aren’t you tired of pretending?
I know, you’re tortured below
But, ah the pleasure you bring for us
Ah whenever you sing for us
Ah the pleasure you bring for us
Ah whenever you sing for us
Eighth track (oh yeah), A-bomb (come on now)
White mosquito, of course they know
You ain’t fooling nobody (yeah)
Snow king, toot-and-horse
Then something worse
Bobby, don’t you think they know?
Don’t you think they know, Bobby?
Oh, Bobby don’t you think they know?
But, ah the pleasure you bring for us
Ah whenever you sing for us
Ah the pleasure you bring for us
Ah whenever you sing for us
Everybody knows
You ain’t fooling nobody
Lord have mercy for the man
Ice snow, spikes blow
Oh, Bobby don’t you think they know?
Oh, don’t you think they know
Scag shack, Mexican mud
Little Jo in the snow
Bobby don’t you think they know?
Oh, of course they know
You can’t hide it
Bobby
