Life Is A Pigsty - Morrissey, Ringleader Of The Tormentors 2006
F Dm
It’s the same old S.O.S.
Am E
But with brand new broken fortunes
F Dm
And once again I turn to you
Am E
Once again I do I turn to you
F Dm
It’s the same old S.O.S.
Am E
But with brand new broken fortunes
F Dm
I’m the same underneath
Am E
But this you, you surely knew
F Am
Life is a pigsty
C E
Life is a pigsty
F Am
Life is a pigsty
C E
Life is a pigsty
F Am
Life, life is a pigsty
C E
Life, life is a pigsty
F Am
Life, life is a pigsty
C E
Life is a pigsty
F
And if you don’t know this
Am
Then what do you know?
C E
Every second of my life I only live for you
F
And you can shoot me
Am
And you can throw me off a train
C
I still maintain
E
I still maintain
F Am
Life, life is a pigsty
C E
Life is a pigsty
F Am
And I’d been shifting gears all of my life
C
But I’m still the same underneath
E
This you surely knew
F
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
Am
I can’t reach you anymore
|C |E |
F
Can you please stop time?
Am
Can you stop the pain?
C
I feel too cold
E
And now I feel too warm again
F
Can you stop this pain?
Am
Can you stop this pain?
C
Even now in the final hour of my life
E F
I’m falling in love again
Am
Again
C
Even now in the final hour of my life
E F
I’m falling in love again
Am
Again
C
Again
E
Again
F
I’m falling in love again
Am
Again
C
Again
E
Again

| In what way is life a pigsty? Sure life has its ups and downs but it cant be compared to a pigsty in no way. | |

| i think morrissey is just making a reference to pasolini's "porcile" ("pigsty") where pasolini concludes that the world is built up on people acting like pigs. | |

| You dont need to be older than 17/18 to know that life is a pigsty. I quickly found that out years ago. Thats the reason I got into Morrissey and The Smiths. This songs one of his best solo efforts and great live. To its meaning, well the name says it all. | |

| Mozz has this wonderful way of conveying emotion and hitting my heart while making me smile. The line about throwing him off a train just ruins my composure. | |

| InsertEmoNameHere, you're quite right. I adore the album version of this song, but there is NOTHING like hearing it live. It hits you right in the gut. One of my (many) favorite bits is: I feel too cold And now I feel too warm again It's so simple, but it immediately conveys an absolute discomfort and restless unhappiness. Morrissey has, in my opinion, always been very good at using physical details to represent emotional or mental states, and this is a perfect example of that. | |

| no need to state the obvious but this song is amazing. i saw moz last friday at the hollywood bowl and this was the best song performed all evening. simply breathtaking. after watching him squirm and roll around on stage with his hands covering his face i turned to my sister and was like, "this man knows pain". amazing song. amazing album. amazing artist. | |

| keli_1989, you definitely need to get out more; the world is FULL of pigs (and crashing bores). If you don't know this, then what do you know? Definitely one of the best build-up songs, even if the lyrics do lack a bit of detail. | |
