Losing in front of your home crowd You wished the ground Would open up and take you down And will time never pass? Will time never pass for us? Your weary wife is walking away Your nephew, it's true Well, he thinks the world of you And I have to close my eyes Losing in front of your home town The crowd call your name They love you all the same The sound, the smell, and the spray You will take them all away And they'll stay 'til the grave Your weary wife is walking away Your nephew, it's true Well, he thinks the world of you And I have to close my eyes Losing in your home town Hell is the bell That we'll not ring again You will return one day Oh, because of all the things That you see when your eyes close Your weary wife walking away Your nephew, it's true He still thinks the world of you And I have to dry my eyes
That Morrissey, a singer stereotyped as being all about musical melancholy and despair has produced a work of such beautiful warmth and love, is just brilliant. One of the most moving songs I know: "And I have to dry my eyes".
@@PhilBig68 Really Phil?!?! OBVIOUSLY not you or me...because we’re here dear boy. But to the vast majority of unenlightened neophytes Morrissey is (unjustly) an unknown. So, don’t take umbrage, spread the word! Cheers! 🇬🇧
One of my favorite songs ever. Moving. Beautiful. Love it. The video doesn't do it justice. I always wondered why this song did not generate more traction. Morrissey made so many incredible songs... Jack the Ripper, Lifeguard on Duty, Paint a Vulgar Picture, Do your best and don't worry, Will never marry, and countless others. What a gift he gave to us. Thanks, SPM.
To me, it's about keeping up the hard work, even when you feel knocked down. Tired. There's a reason why you want to keep going... Love you Stephen Morrissey.
This song pulls so much emotional strings, the melody, the words, the music, the vocal harmonies. A song that many would kill to compose. This song always open the floodgates of my eyes...
Fui boxeadora amateur, me tocó ser Sunny siempre y hoy con 35 años tengo la necesidad de volver "because of all the things, that you see when your eyes close" Te amo Moz.
This song is so much more depressing if you look deeper. All you want for this guy to be happy, he has all the love and support but he feels like he doesn’t deserve it. Brilliant
@@allybally0021 LOL It was in '97 outside the Electric Factory in Philly during Moz's Maladjusted tour. Happened to walk around the side of the building and down the alley at the right time when he was out there greeting fans! :)

@@dutchcub what's stupid and rude??? If you know the song, you know the words, if you don't know the words, you can clearly hear them. He sings them clearly enough. People typing lyrics into RUclips comment sections maybe, should "get a life" as in, find something better to do. Your insult means nothing, because I suspect you're much less let's say "interesting" than me.
Always loved listening to this one back in the day. Talk about underrated, the bass guitar is so busy in this song and truthfully, it makes the whole song, even steals the show during the guitar solo part. Will always love Morrissey.
1996 driving down the 60fwy on a hot summer day in Los Angeles. Heading out to Santa Monica with friends all singing along to this song…only 18 years old
Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever made
alma matters, nobody loves me
Yup mate
@@beetlebum536it is
Yeah....wonderful!
Some of his greatest lyrics, one of his most brilliant songs, undoubtedly his best band. Alain Whyte was Morrissey’s secret weapon.
King crimson fan listening to morrissey ??😮
@@Leo-qe3gl great music is great music, regardless of style and genre.
@@VanirTraditionalist 😌
Very few people in history were/ are able to capture such profound and elegant sadness in a 4-minute pop song.
My thoughts exactly. I don't think anything else has made me feel more desolate and sad than the lyrics to this song.
Losing in front of your home crowd
You wished the ground
Would open up and take you down
And will time never pass?
Will time never pass for us?
Your weary wife is walking away
Your nephew, it's true
Well, he thinks the world of you
And I have to close my eyes
Losing in front of your home town
The crowd call your name
They love you all the same
The sound, the smell, and the spray
You will take them all away
And they'll stay 'til the grave
Your weary wife is walking away
Your nephew, it's true
Well, he thinks the world of you
And I have to close my eyes
Losing in your home town
Hell is the bell
That we'll not ring again
You will return one day
Oh, because of all the things
That you see when your eyes close
Your weary wife walking away
Your nephew, it's true
He still thinks the world of you
And I have to dry my eyes
That Morrissey, a singer stereotyped as being all about musical melancholy and despair has produced a work of such beautiful warmth and love, is just brilliant. One of the most moving songs I know: "And I have to dry my eyes".
A fantastic song as good as anything by The Smiths a poignant beautiful tune the boy certainly had away with words
Better than 'Everyday is like sunday', and that's saying something
@@dermot51 Definitely 😂
Underrated. One of the saddest songs in Morrissey's discography. It's so relatable.
I think you missed the last stanza 🙂
You are god damn right. It’s so unbelievably relatable and sad...😪
it’s very clever.
Underrated by whom?
@@PhilBig68 Really Phil?!?! OBVIOUSLY not you or me...because we’re here dear boy. But to the vast majority of unenlightened neophytes Morrissey is (unjustly) an unknown. So, don’t take umbrage, spread the word! Cheers! 🇬🇧
Morrisey is literally the most underrated artist ever
so true
Nah
He is probably one of the most morally derelict human beings ever but this song is good.
no he's literally not but ok lmao
YUP👍🏻

paint a vulgar picture is the smiths most unnderrated sonfg
For my dear uncle Lonnie wherever you are...I still think the world of you.
🌿
Verdade😆😆😆
I’m sure he’s really close
@@user-yt6ok7uv1k claro que sim
@@lucianofigueiredo7220 what’s up with you?
"Hell, is the bell...that will not...ring again.."
This is one of the best, both Boxers and Sunny are sooo underrated and the best he's ever done.
Yes some of his best indeed and those songs bookend his "My Early Burglary Years" compilation.
There are some real gems on that release!
To me, it's about keeping up the hard work, even when you feel knocked down. Tired. There's a reason why you want to keep going... Love you Stephen Morrissey.

This song always open the floodgates of my eyes...
Morrissey: I love you with my whole soul.
@dani cali Me too, I can feel his music´s touching my soul.
I love this song so much
Radiohead myxomatosis
No, Morrissey - Boxers
Vicente morales me too. ....and you’ll return one day and in no ordinary way cause of all the things you see when your eyes close
This song just slams the hammer on the nail!
Forever Morrissey!
Fui boxeadora amateur, me tocó ser Sunny siempre y hoy con 35 años tengo la necesidad de volver "because of all the things, that you see when your eyes close" Te amo Moz.
Que ves cuando cierras tus ojos?
there is so much beauty within sadness
This song is so much more depressing if you look deeper. All you want for this guy to be happy, he has all the love and support but he feels like he doesn’t deserve it. Brilliant
I love the affirming handshake in the video.
It would be wonderful to get positive acknowledgement like that from Morrissey.
Yes, quite possibly the greatest handshake ever committed to film.
And any kind of handshake from Moz would be great. I got one! 👍

@@joeseymour4073 Right time and right place. That's a gem of a memory Joe.
Sometimes all we need is to share a special moment with somebody and to know they’re grateful for us to be in their life.
Losing in front of your home crowd
You wish the ground
Would open up and take you down
And will time never pass?
Will time never pass for us?
Your weary wife is walking away
Your nephew is true
Well, he thinks the world of you
And I have to close my eyes
Oh...
Losing in front of your home town
The crowd call your name
They love you all the same
The sound, the smell, and the spray
You will take them all away
And they'll stay
Till the grave
Your weary wife is walking away
Your nephew, is true
Well, he thinks the world of you
And I have to close my eyes
Oh...

Somos cuatrooo ;D

Morrissey's delivery is so effing good...the Moz, a wizard amongst men.
this has always been my favorite morrissey single.. it's so underrated.
God, this song is everything.
One of the most wonderful works by Morrissey
A real personal favourite,do hope Morrissey sing's it at Wembley on Saturday 💙
Such a Boxing Fan was Morrisey. Good man SIR!
This song is a masterpiece. Maybe his best song ever
"Losing in your home town
Hell is the bell
That will not ring again"
So sad lines :(
I take some form of comfort in those lines.
best song of all time
Played tonight in Hammersmith! Unbelievable!
The guitar chords in this are just as good as Marr
But like water better with hydrogen and oxygen
best scene is when he hands over his gloves after giving autograph to his lonely little fan
Morrissey classic.
Cracking CD Single Release...Boxers, Have-a-Go Merchant, and Whatever Happens, I Love You 👍
Morrissey is the best! all of his songs past & present,i loved them all!! thanks for the music...
best song of morrissey i think
I’m still a fan all these years on. Viva Moz!
It's hard to relate what this mans music means to me today and yesterday. Listen closely and I'm sure you'll agree
the intro is from benjamin brittons opera peter grimes.Its called sea interludes(moonlight).written by one master,borrowed by another!
Thanks and I'd Love To know whether it was Morrissey's idea or the director's to use that. It's perfectly used with how the video starts.
To all my contact sport mates, a humblig song, by Morissey, one of my favourite artists.
Cheers mate!
absolute best lyricist
his best, no doubt.
love it, but not his best....no doubt.....but its all just opinions anyway
I agree lolicats
Most underrated Morrissey song IMO
God this songs brilliant, Moz at the peak of his powers
Such a beautiful song.
Amazing song lyrics...WOW superb! Mr.Morrissey you´re a genious!
En mi alegría y mis tristezas siempre estás presente, te amo tanto ❤️
Morrissey and Whyte, such pretty partnership
I just really wanted to listen to this one in a million or perhaps more accurately billion, (has music existed for a billion years) artist tonight.
i forgot that i knew this song... oh my god, i remember every word... i love you Morrissey
Song is amazing
Pure genius. I believe in heaven now :)
"Will time never pass for us?" xx
You will return one day Oh, because of all the things That you see When your eyes close... 🥊
the late Benjamin Lo-Fi would be swivelling in his casket to hear and see this wonder...thank you.
perfect pop song, beautifull music, inteligent lyrics
Esta música me fez voltar s ouvir Morrissey.
My favorite song
One of my faves by this wonderful man
Morrissey rules!
YES!! Cheers from Denmark ❤
One of his best
Great moment at 3:37 :)
Maybe one day we'll get back to this point and appreciate the unappreciated ;)
I worked with Lad's that grew up with John, from South Bank.
Local Boy done good.
Beautiful song ❤
Desde Barranquilla, Colombia también se escucha Morrissey. #SeHablaEspañol
Suede should cover this song now!
Aye
Oh The Memories....And I Have To Close My Eyes...

Bealtiful
Watching the video contribute to song giving me more of an understanding to the song; this made me cry
I love
Till this day I still have a piece of his shirt that he throw to the crowd!
I hope he plays it tonight in Glasgow!
AWESOME!
Fabolous song. What a lyric.
"ya never knocked me down ray "....hey ray ! ..ya never knocked me down ray.
i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
parts of this song have always reminded me of the smiths' "unloveable"....(both are brilliant, of course).
muito bom !amo essa música.
fantástico!
amazing...
El inicio del video es un homenaje a la película Toro Salvaje del Maestro Scorsese
Muito bom ! Ontem, hoje e sempre...
