An only child
Alone and wild
A cabinet maker?s son
His hands were meant
For different work
And his heart was known
To none --
He left his home
And went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me
A gift I know I never
Can repay

A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn?t wait
He earned his love
Through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I?m just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.

My brothers? lives were
Different
For they heard another call
One went to chicago
And the other to st. paul
And I?m in colorado
When I?m not in some hotel
Living out this life I?ve chose
And come to know so well.

I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go --
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, papa, I don?t think i
Said ?i love you? near enough --

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I?m just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band.

Morrissey quotes are kind of 1992 don't you think?

Morrissey is the greatest musician who ever lived. His quotes will be repeated and his music played for the rest of enternity. In the year 3080, on a moon colony somewhere, they will listen to Morrissey and think he must have been the leader of our civilization.

A statue of gold should be erected in his honor.

Edit: Bow down to Morrissey ye ol' peasant!

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A friend with we3d is better.
A friend with breasts and and all the rest.
A friend who's dressed in leather.

Who?

Lead singer of 80s band, The Smiths, and 1987 - present solo artist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrissey

Get on a P2P and download "Hairdresser on Fire," "Everyday Is Like Sunday," and "William It Was Really Nothing."

For rougher tracks, try his 2004 singles "Irish Blood, English Heart." or "First of the Gang to Die."

Greatest music ever played.

Thinking about it, I remember. It's actually not illegal to download anything on a P2P network. It IS however illegal to have other people download a copywritten file from your computer.

So downloading isn't illegal.
