Swords is a compilation album by Morrissey, released in the UK on 26 October 2009 and in the US on 3 November on Polydor.

However, in his review of the album, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic notes that "Not all the flipsides are here, but all the noteworthy ones are.

"[6] Initial copies of the CD include a bonus disc of eight songs recorded live in Warsaw during Morrissey's 2009 tour.

[7] The compilation was supported by the Swords Tour,[8] featuring dates in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Ireland,[9] and the United States.

[10][11] In a statement, Morrissey revealed that he had intended Swords to be a budget album, and was disappointed to see it be retailed for such a high price.
