Morrissey & Kevin Armstrong & Andrew Paresi
A song that encompasses the assertive voice of his father, Morrissey rallies against the cliched ideals of manliness by mocking phrases such as ‘grow up be a man and close your mealy mouth’.
[Verse 1]
Further into the fog I fall
Well, I was just following you
[Chorus]
When you said, "Do as I do and scrap your fey ways"
Dial-A-Cliché
"Grow up, be a man, and close your mealy-mouth!"
Dial-A-Cliché, Dial-A-Cliché, Dial-A-Cliché
[Verse 2]
But the person underneath, where does he go?
Does he slide by the wayside or does he just die?
And you find that you've organized your feelings, for people
Who didn't like you then and do not like you now
[Chorus]
But still you say, "Do as I do and scrap your fey ways"
Dial-A-Cliché
"Grow up, be a man, and close your mealy-mouth!"
Dial-A-Cliché
[Outro]
"The safe way is the only way"
"There's always time to change, son"
I've changed, but I'm in pain
