New Morrissey Song NOT About Paris Hilton

Morrissey fanboards lit up after the Mozfather's Jacksonville show two nights ago, when he unveiled a third unreleased song (see also: "That's How People Grow Up," "All You Need Is Me") that was later reported to be titled "Wrapping My Arms Around Paris Hilton." But knowing how much Moz talks about Paris, France, we were dubious he'd pull together a sarcastic ballad to the heir-head. Well shitty-as-ever YouTube footage from the 7/17 Jacksonville show is up, and here's our stab at the lyrics...

I'm throwing my arms around Paris because
only stone and steel can accept my love

And really, it's better this way. Let Moz save a pretty ballad for something with more meaning/permanence. Besides, Paris doesn't need your hugs, Morrissey, she's doing just fine ... recording LP #2 with Scott Storch.

Shoot us.

The hilarious/depressing thing here is that when we hear the word Paris in a song lyric, our minds jump to a cheap party girl rather than the beautiful city that has symbolized romantic love for hundreds of years.

I really don't understand this obsession with Paris Hilton. Why do so many people care?
