maudlin humor , Left wing romanticism , and what lay waste among the ashes thatchers regime left for Britain. Morrissey declares in a stand up comedic routine ...That what a child knows ..the british monarchy knows ...That they were all heading nowhere fast ...and the only cure was fatalism among its suffering working class . Brillant lyrics ..brilliant song .
@lkjhb1 I will 'personally' attest to that! I bloody LOATH these commercials for cerial and loads of other crap I don't engage in! So, yeah, mate. THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!
@bellkxboy im not 100 percent sure, but i think this is a one off recording, there are other versions of it, but not like this one, not that i have found anyway,
"and if the day came when i felt a natural emotion, i'd get such a shock i'd probably jump in the ocean" one of my favourite smiths lyrics, i really feel i can relate to that.
"When I'm lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death... And neither one particularly appeals to me." Best line. And true for so many x)
I apologize for not thanking all the comments that were made in my profile in my absence, good and bad.
thank you for watching this video so beautiful and rare to find.
I feel flattered to know that the smiths today is recognized and seen as no better band (sorry I know there are many great bands and even "perfect" also like them, but this is my opinion ok? thanks. )
@B0Ygenius as for seeing them live, I wouldn't hold my breath, the Morrissey/Marr split is one of the music industry's most painful "divorces" of all time!!
We would all love to see them live again.
Hell, I want to have Morrissey's baby...whilst we're wishing for impossible things!!! hahah
