The Right
Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Carpool, cornhole, gallon bag of ice
Over cans in inflatable pools
Green Grass dance floor
Nine is on the Ox cord playlist playing it cool

We're all product of a small town
Raised on radio music
We've all got worries we could wash down
And we've all been through it

Now we're been doin' alright here
Yeah, we've got it all right here
All the saints, all the sinners, all the red dust kickers
All the flip cup tippers, sippin' ice cold beer
All night long, just singin' them country songs
In a world where a whole lot of things go wrong
They're goin' alright here

It's all good, all gravy, all comin' up daisies
All the right kind of crazy in the atmosphere
Ain't one thing missin'
Now, we ain't got much but it's all right here

Seven billion goose spinnin' on the third rock
Everybody got their own two cents
Moments like this make it all feel small
No matter where you are or where you been

Oh, everything's alright here
Yeah we've got it all right here
All the saints, all the sinners, all the red dust kickers
All the flip cup tippers, sippin' ice cold beer
All night long, just singin' them country songs
In a world where a whole lot of things go wrong
They're going alright here

It's all good, all gravy, all comin' up daisies
All the right kind of crazy in the atmosphere
Ain't one thing missin'
Now, we ain't got much but it's all right here

It's alright
It's all right here, oh

We're all product of a small town
Raised on radio music
And we've all got worries we could wash down
And we've all been through it

Tonight we're doing alright here
Yeah, we've got it all right here
All the saints, all the sinners, all the red dust kickers
All the flip cup tippers, sippin' ice cold beer
All night long, just singin' them country songs
In a world where a whole lot of things go wrong
They're going alright here

It's all good, all gravy, all comin' up daisies
All the right kind of crazy in the atmosphere
Ain't one thing missin'
Now, we ain't got much but it's all right here





Yeah, we got it all right here

Overall Meaning

In Morgan's song "The Right," the lyrics deal with a toxic relationship that has clearly ended, with one person leaving while the other person remains to deal with the aftermath of their actions. The song seems to be directed towards the person who caused the problems, as the repeated use of the word "left" throughout the lyrics points to the idea of abandonment by the other person. The line "Left up left awake, left here to save the mess you made" suggests that the singer is left to clean up the emotional wreckage caused by their former partner.


The lyrics repeatedly use the phrase "I'm as right as rain," which can be interpreted in a couple of ways. The phrase is generally used to mean that everything is going well or is perfectly alright, but the context of the song suggests that the singer may be trying to convince themselves that they are okay, despite the chaos that has just occurred in their life. It can be seen as a sort of affirmation in the face of difficult or traumatic circumstances.


The overall message of the song seems to be centered around the idea of taking control of one's life and letting go of toxic relationships, even if it means walking away from someone who was once loved deeply. The repetition of the phrase "Don't want to hear you saying anything, don't want to hear you think you're wrong for a change" suggests that the singer is done with the other person's excuses or attempts to reconcile, indicating a final break from the relationship.

Crikey, this comment was put up 4 years ago but here goes... I attempted to transcribe the monologue not too long ago when I discovered this band!!

Ancient grey lorry outside a Roman hotel
What rides in that?
It certainly wasn't very good for bags of cement on a rainy Saturday afternoon like that
Which, after all, was my bloody birthday
And I hoped at least that it would be a little more distinguished than that
I mean even though it was spent in a legendary city
Miles from my unremarkable home
So I ate potato chips above the shiny road where drivers, mad and sane alike, put the fear in me
In the safety of my room
Soon to be changed, in fact, four times
For the sake of peace
And that little bit of kip at night
Celibate and sick for home, the solitary maggot marched alone down a long road which stretched for seven weeks into the distance, I think
On that day, however, the sun burst through and sparkled a casual greeting
To me, standing there, looking out and wondering what to do
And here, interspersed with memories
Which, like me, should be committed if not to paper, to some red-grey building
Like the one that faces my window
Of Curt, who broke mirrors by looking in them
And Werner, his friend, who lived all his days in an invisible submarine
But they somehow managed to spend their time
Working for a rubber company, can you believe
I know [in freight?] another pink balloon
Given free with each packet of crisps
Later on, that will join the others
Cunningly knotted and twisted into a startling array of tits and bums
And placed upon the wardrobe
Where I, opening another pissed, fiery eye in the middle of the night
Glimpse the impossible woman and run to wallop the whale
Moby Dick never suffered such indignities, I can tell you
Wallop the whale and walk the whelk
That's all I do, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

What a perfect track, a perfect album. The very apex of contemporary electric music. And completely ignored at the time. A travesty.

bastian wu

The only genius behind the band Queen,literally!

space progger

samarkhand the golden is the 1st track on "nova solis", not "brown out" (originaly "the sleeper awakes") both albums are superb.

Ferreira Designs

corrected :)

Rogerio Oliveira

Fabulous!

morganfisherart

André Ferreira - thank you for the upload. It would be nice if you could, in the description, change the words "Samarkhand the Golden" to "The Right."
Ciao - Morgan Fisher.

I'm not really exspecting anyone to do me this favour, as it's a big thing to ask, but may someone tell me the lyrics of this track? I really really love that one and I'm so sad that I just can't get the whole lyrics out of it and no one has posted them yet. English is not my first language so please please to all of you- I'd be extremly thankful for your help !!!

@F H - Belated congratulations and thanks for this fine transcription of Tim Staffell's monologue! Only one small error as far as I remember:
I know [in freight?] --> I now inflate
Grazie! Morgan Fisher

bastian wu
