A quick meme that I am setting for all Moz bloggers.
What would be your ideal setlist for the upcoming Ringleader of the Tormentors tour?
Heres mine:
- I will see you in far off places
Because it’s so well orchestrated and would get the gig off to a very powerful start
- Found Found Found
A good spring-board into any other song..
- Life is a pigsty
…haven’t heard it yet.
- Dagenham Dave
Carrying on the feel-good atmosphere..
- Teenage dad on his estate
Start to bring a more serious tone to the night..
- You have killed me
You’ve gotta play the single, haven’t you?
- Sweet and tender hooligan
If he’s gonna throw in some Smiths stuff, it this would fit the tone of the times..
- Pregnant for the last time
Danceble and fun…
- The queen is dead
20 year anniversary and all, could he be the sentimental type?
- I’ll Never Be Anybody’s Hero Now
More new material..
- Suedehead
The song that made Morrissey, I’m sure he’ll pay homage to it…
- Never-played symphonies
One of his finest compositions of the 21st century?
- America is not the world
Now that he no longer lives there, I don’t think he’ll be afraid to perform this..
- I’m not sorry
Another great song..
- To Me You Are A Work Of Art
new material
- The boy racer
As relevant now as it ever was…
Encore
- Shoplifters of the world
Recently Moz said this was one of the songs he is most proud of…
- Every day is like Sunday
Ideal song to end on…
And that’s my dream setlist.
I tried to be as realistic as I could, obviously he is not going to bash out National Front Disco, we all know what happened last time that happened…and also, I tried to think of what songs suit where Morrissey is now in his musical career.
He writes far more meaningful lyrics now than he did at the beginning of his solo career, I can’t imagine him playing ‘The lazy sunbathers’ for example. That’s just not where he is. In my view.

I managed to get tickets for the Birmingham Symphony Hall date and I hope he plays:
1/ You Have Killed Me
2/ Don’t Make Fun Of Daddy’s Voice
3/ Bigmouth Strikes Again
4/ November Spawned A Monster
5/ Come Back to Camden
6/ It’s Hard To Walk Tall When You’re Small
7/ Spring-Heeled Jim
8/ Glamorous Glue
9/ These Things Take Time
10/Hairdresser On Fire
11/How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?
12/Pretty Girls Make Graves
13/Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me
14/Irish Blood, English Heart
15/Shoplifters Of The World Unite
16/Speedway
Encore:
17/How Soon Is Now?
18/There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
However, I know that it’s unlikely that he’ll play so many Smiths songs, especially so close together. I would have put some more off the new album in only I haven’t heard any yet, other than ‘You Have Killed Me’ (which I think features some of his best solo lyrics ever). I have, though, thanks to your marvellous site, read the words to a few new songs.

Apologies for an off-topic post but I thought this would interest you.

It concerns an article published in the ‘South Wales Echo’.
It was in response to the “Mark Oaten Fiasco”.
On a sidenote, I’m sure ‘Ming’ has a few skeletons in his closet… 
1. The boy with the thorn in his side
2. Girl afraid
3. Well I wonder
4. Last night i dreamt
5. I know someday its gonna happen
6. You have killed me
7. Sing me to sleep.
8. Oscillate wildely
9. I dont mind if you forget me
10. My love life
11. Half a person
12 how can anybody possibly know how I feel.

I’d like to see in no particular order:
Hand In Glove
Now my Heart is full
Lost
Everyday is Like Sunday
Angel, down we go together
This Charming man
Well I Wonder
I Know it’s over
The National Front Disco
I Have Forgiven Jesus
Yes, I am Blind
The Queen is Dead
Meat Is Murder
You Have Killed Me
Girlfriend in a Coma
those are the top ones.
