  • Crikey as one of the few who seem to have been around when the Moors Murders happened and also when this song was originally released...lots have missed the point of the song! This is a beautiful song singing the praises of what could have been from the 'lost' children mournfully calling to be found. This song is a legacy at minimum.

  • People, calm down!

    Just appreciate the fact that this harrowing, haunting, yet undeniably beautiful track was cut in the first place. It's tragic that such murders happen by the day.

  • Is this title a reference to Brave New World, Chapter 3, the DHC says "Suffer Little Children"

  • @kingofools98 NO ITS ABOUT PAEDOS AND CHILD MURDERERS, MORRISSEY MADE MILLIONS FROM THIS SONG, AND YET REFUSES TO PAY THE VICTIMS A SINGLE PENNY, YES , HE WILL GO TO HELL SURELY

  • @StronglyFancied Are you telling us that if an artist is influenced by circumstances relating to an individual or individuals they are obliged to share their royalties? Bernie Taupin wrote candle in in the wind in 1973, in honour of Marilyn Monro, "Vincent" by Don McLean was written about Van Gogh, What about all of the paintings which are influenced directly by personal tragedy. You are an idiot mate

  • The girls laugh at the end will forever haunt me. Makes my heart clench..

  • @thetalentedmrman HAHA THOSE NORTHERNERS NEVER LEARN

  • @Lewphil WHAT LIKE "WHOEVER SMELT IT, DEALT IT" TYPE THEORY??

  • @StronglyFancied We all know now Stronglyfancied, and now every time you open your mouth we realize more and more what a sick paedophile you are of the filthiest, dirtiest, ungodly kind. I cant believe we didnt pick up on it before. It was other people who emailed me on here bringing this to my attention, and they are all right. You are no better than Hindley herself, and every time you try and point the finger the more obvious it becomes its you

  • @Lewphil YOU DARE ACCUSE ME LEWPHIL? YOU WILL BURN IN THE FIRES OF HELL WITH YOUR HERO ROLE MODEL, PAEDO LOVER MORRISSEY, YOUR HOWLS OF AGONY WILL LAST FOR CENTURIES....

  • @StronglyFancied First of all I am an atheist and believe 100% that myself and Morrissey are not going to Hell..we are both very happy about that. However hypothetically if I ever do did go to Hell you would definitely be there as well, because as you are obviously a "child of God" you are not only sinning by passing all of this judgement on others which in the eyes of your God is very much a sin, but have also been exposed for being an awful paedophile. I hope you like very long Hot holidays

  • @StronglyFancied lol, you are so funny XD

  • @sasvite GREETINGS FRIEND, HAVE YOU TOO BECOME DISGUSTED AT MORRISSEY AND THE WAY HE MADE MONEY FROM CHILD MURDER?? I HAVE 

  • @StronglyFancied I suppose it is like the saying "whoever smelt it dealt it" in the way that saying belongs to children and that you believe children belong to you.

  • @thetalentedmrman ALL PAEDO SCUM UP NORTH

  • @thetalentedmrman DONT TELL NORTHERNERS YOU HAVE MONEY THEY WILL BURGLE YOUR HOUSE AND THEY ARE ALL PAEDOS SO BE CAREFUL SON

  • Comment removed

  • @thetalentedmrman TRUE SO TRUE FRIEND

  • @thetalentedmrman WELL SAID, ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE HERE THAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH , YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN FRIEND

  • StronglyFancied is a massive bellend

  • Instead of arguing what the song is about just enjoy thumbs up for The Smiths.

  • @StronglyFancied I am sure if you tried to put me in a Coma then you would be breaking the law. I would also have to do my best to stop you and in doing so probably break quite a few of your caps lock typing fingers! By your logic U2 owe money to the irish killed in the Bloody Sunday incident...

  • @Bummerboy812k8 U2 DO NOT OWE ANY MONEY TO IRISH DUE TO IRA MURDERING OF INNOCENT CHILDREN.

    MORRISEY HAS MADE FORTUNES PROFITING FROM PAEDOPHILES MURDERS, IT IS SURELY TIME NOW THAT HE MADE AMENDS FOR THIS DISGUSTING SONG AND HIS PROFITEERING FROM CHILD MURDERS

  • @StronglyFancied dude calm down

  • @StronglyFancied

    A very small minded comment. You are a fool if you think Morrissey is glorifying paedophiles. This is a powerful, but sad song about the poor children who were taken in the Moors Murders. Just relax and enjoy the song. Peace.

  • I really hate when people act so fucking self-righteous and shit all over others' opinions again and again. Oh, and when their comments are all caps its even worse...

  • @discodizzuck NOONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR OPINION FRIEND........

  • Hole covered this song

  • @DirtyGoddess ID LIKE TO COVER YOUR HOLE

  • OH MANCHESTER, YOU DO HAVE SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR.

  • @oneilexpress YEAH SO MUCH SHIT

  • @StronglyFancied dickhead

    

  • @colthepirate CARRY ON LISTENING TO YOUR PAEDO SONG YOU SICK DEMENTED PAEDOPHILE

  • @StronglyFancied My friend you are out of your mind.

  • Comment removed

  • So artists aren't allowed to sing about horrific things anymore?

  • @Mrsheen23 STAY OUT OF THIS SHEEN...

  • @StronglyFancied Hahahah your by far my most favourite person.

  • @StronglyFancied WAIT A MINUTE!?!?!?!? You like Jim Morrison? Show me the way to the next little girl?

  • @Mrsheen23 SHEEN I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS?!

    LISTEN JIM MORRISON DIDNT MEAN IT LIKE THAT, IT WAS JUST EXPRESNSION THEY USED TO SAY IT WASNT PAEDOPHILE, ELVIS USED TO SAY IT TOO.

    THIS SONG IS OUT OF ORDER SHEEN, DONT DENY THAT

  • @StronglyFancied Only kidding, I don't think Jim Morrison even wrote that anyway, it was a poem I think? You can't condemn a man for singing about what he sees and feels! Come on fancied relax!

  • @Mrsheen23 SHEEN I CAN NEVER RELAX UNTIL MORRISSEY PAYS SOME OF HIS VAST FORTUNE TO THE VICTIMS OF MOORS MURDERS. I AM A DEEPLY RELIGIOUS MAN AND I AM SURE THAT MORRISSEY WILL GO TO HELL UNLESS HE DOES THIS.

    GO IN PEACE MY CHILD SHEEN

  • @StronglyFancied Urgh not religion! Too many naughty popes and priests to justify that comment! Take it easy fancied.

  • @Mrsheen23 YOU TOO SHEEN YOU TOO SON

  • @StronglyFancied - You sir, are either a complete idiot or the greatest troll of all time. OF ALL TIME.

  • @m0rtalw0mbat123 no, he is not. god is the greatest troll of all time.

  • Does anyone even know how to spell paedophile? It would appear not! Anyway i don't think that is what the song is about. It's more to do with loss and the collective guilt, shame and horror felt by the Manchester community at the time! Hindley is already burning in hell. Brady is next.........Evil bastards.....P.S. love The Smiths

  • Lyics deal with morrisseys childhood coping with the moors murders ...he felt serious trauma from the event ...and the lyrics in the end deal with the possiblity that he too could have become a victim himself ....A very sad and mournful song ...with johnny marr playing his haunting sounding guitar to compliment it .

  • @stronglyfancied

    You can't even spell pedophile correctly, so what makes us think you know your dick from a pinecomb?

  • @thesemanticblockage NO MY POOR MORONIC CHILD, IT IS YOU WHO CANNOT SPELL PAEDOPHILE PROPERLY, I WILL PRAY TO GOD FOR YOU, LIKE I PRAY FOR MORRISSEYS SOUL, ARE YOU AWARE THAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT TWO CHILD KILLING PAEDOPHILES?? AND THAT MORRISSEY MADE A LOT OF MONEY FROM IT?? OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF THAT MORRISSEY WILL GO TO HELL IF HE DOESNT PAY AT LEAST A MILLION POUNDS TO THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIM, I CANT THINK OF ANY OTHER WAY

  • Anyway, this song is one of my favorites. There was a 2 month period or so where I listened to it every single day. Freaking love Johnny Marr's guitar here.

  • @instantdeath99 THAT 2 MONTH PERIOD WAS WHEN YOU BECAME A PAEDO

  • @StronglyFancied Live fast troll hard

  • @Krasnostav I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN FRIEND, BUT IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SUPPORT IN A BID TO GET MORRISSEY TO PAY DAMAGES TO THE VICTIMS FAMILIES THEN IM WITH YOU

  • @StronglyFancied ...

    ... you may be on to something there. Great logic, right?

  • @instantdeath99 @instantdeath99 UNLESS YOU CAN THINK OF ANOTHER EXPLANATION

    I WOULD SAY THAT MORRISSEY HAS YOU UNDER HIS PAEDO SPELL NOW

  • @StronglyFancied Did he use his pedo sorcery? I didn't see a magic wand, but maybe he's good enough to do it without one.

  • Anyone who believes Morrissey is a pedophile is quite obviously a pedophile himself -.-

  • @instantdeath99 hes just an observant and sensitive lad. or atleast he was before he fame went to his head and he became a cunt

  • @instantdeath99 once I was told secretly we named morrisey to be our pope, now i am sure he is our pope cause you're calling him a pedo, he took the vow of chastity, and the man can really speak to me, first time i really fell in love with the music and god was Viva Hate Everyday is like Sunday, Morrissey's secretly the Pope, The head of our mystical body afterall, no latin roman power lusting homosexual priest just good clean truth, not that pope benedict isn't super awesome but two is better

  • @SaraJeanM MORRISSEY IS WORSE THAN ANY CATHOLIC PRIEST SARAJEAN, HE ACTUALLY MADE MONEY FROM PAEDOPHILES AND CHILD MURDER, HE IS A VERY SICK GREEDY NORTHERN MAGGOT

  • WHAT I HAVE PREVIOUSLY SAID HERE STILL RINGS TRUE.........

  • Comment removed

  • @StronglyFancied not seen you round this way before.

    

  • @Steviemtothec OH REALLY?? I AM OFTEN HERE, I HATE MORRISEY YOU SEE, HE MADE A LOT OF MONEY FROM PAEDOPHILIA AND CHILD ABUSE, AND WILL BE GOING TO HELL. I HOPE YOU ARE WELL FRIEND

  • @StronglyFancied if that is the case may he burn in hell with the rest of them.

  • @StronglyFancied go listen to your rap crap bitch!

  • @lkjhb1 LISTEN TO ME BOY, I USED TO LIKE THE SMITHS, BUT THEN I HEARD THIS SONG AND FOUND OUT IT IS ABOUT TWO PAEDOPHILES THAT KILLED LITTLE CHILDREN, MORRISSEY MADE A LOT OF MONEY FROM HIS MUSIC WHILST THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS SUFFERED FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. IM SURE THAT NOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS YOU WILL JOIN ME IN CONDEMNING THIS DISGUSTING SONG AND ENCOURAGING MORRISSEY TO COMPENSATE THE VICTIMS FAMILIES WITH AT LEAST A MILLION POUNDS

  • @StronglyFancied ,Not only are you wrong,you are wrong at the top of your voice so to speak!!

    You should always check your facts before spouting off about anything.

    Especially an subject as emotive as this one.

    Morrissey actually went to see little John,s mum and explained to her what the song was actually all about.

    She was more than happy with his explanation and indeed gave him and the song Her blessing.

    I have a feeling that even now you have the facts you will not modify your opinion?????

  • @jimtheskim HOW DARE YOU CONTRADICT ME?

    JUST BECAUSE THAT FOUL PAEDO MORRISSEY WENT TO SEE ONE OF THE VICTIMS MOTHERS AND TALKED SOME OLD SHIT TO HER DOESNT CHANGE ANYTHING

    HE MADE MONEY FROM PAEDOPHILES AND NEVER GAVE ANY TO THE VICTIMS, AND GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE THAT UNTIL HE DONATES SOME OF HIS HUGE FORTUNE TO THEM

  • @StronglyFancied

    The Bible never condemns pedophilia so neither does your God. Learn your faith, don't make guesses about it.

  • @juddylovespizza YOU ARE LIKE HINDLEY.......

  • @StronglyFancied Really, really??! You could not possibly have just used the words "How dare you contradict me?" as if it were some sort of crime to do so. Who the hell are you, that you think nobody can say "boo" to you. I hope that was a joke, because I can't stop laughing.

  • @carrinallen LISTEN CARRINA  NOONE DARES TO CONTRADICT IN REAL LIFE AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ON HERE EITHER YOUNG LADY, PUNISH YOURSELF NOW

  • @StronglyFancied LMAO!!! Okay, you're definitely just trolling. Nobody could possibly be that absurd.

  • @carrinallen I SAID PUNISH YOURSELF CARINNA, IT IS GODS WILL

  • @StronglyFancied I dare to contradict all the time you strange little person...

    

  • @Bummer812k8 YOU HAVE NEVER CONTRADICTED ME IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE BUMMER812K8, IF YOU HAD THEN YOU WOULD BE IN A COMA IN HOSPITAL SOMEWHERE, VEGETATING......

  • Difficult to listen to, deeply moving, sad sad song. Genius

  • it's amazing how the smiths owned theirself their own musical type. in every song of the smiths you'll be experienced with soft melody and surprising ups and downs in moz's voice.

  • this track brought to you by the boys of penn state child rapist / buggery afficionado Jerry "taking one for the team" sandusky

  • @StronglyFancied This song is quite clearly against peadophiles, you moron.

  • @StronglyFancied idiot! Simple as that

  • @Hummer812k8 ARE ALL YOUR PLAYLISTS FILLED WITH PAEDOPHILIA, IS IT ALL MORRISSEY AND GARY GLITTER?

  • @StronglyFancied Playlists... Why yes they are, and people burning crosses. Why do you ask would you like me to pass them on?

  • @Hummer812k8 YOU DO REALISE THAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT PAEDOPHILES DONT YOU?? LISTEN TO THE WORDS PROPERLY ITS ABOUT CHILD MURDER AND MORRISEY MADE MONEY FROM IT. IF YOU DONT THINK THATS SICK THEN YOUR JUST AS BAD AS BRADY

  • @StronglyFancied Your use of CAPS is worse than molesting kids! Now fuck off and stop talking bollocks!

  • @StronglyFancied You're one of the biggest troll's i've ever seen, congrats.

  • @StronglyFancied well actually its a song about moorish murderers's victims in the 60's. morrissey was a child by those years and it really touched him( the death of those children(.then he built a close relationship with one of the victim's mom...so obviously in not a pedophile i've just heard that he's gay and he likes animals XD but who knows if that's truth :S nvm..anyway he's an awesome singer :P

  • @paulavicious1 MONEY WAS MADE FROM PAEDOPHILIA HERE

  • chills

  • quite possibly one of the best songs ever made!!!

  • @exspurned82 NO NO MY DEAR EXSPURNED, MY HATE CAMPAIGN IS AGAISNT THE PAEDO MORRISSEY, NOT THE PAEDO MICHEAL JACKSON. BLESS YOU ANYWAY MY LITTLE ONE

  • Morrissey was a child when the murders were happening and remembers Mothers speaking in whispers at School gates.

  • @johnbarry1965 Yep .... Self righteous twats complain. This is about a child dealing with the fear of being horribly murdered. Morrissey was a kid from Manchester at the time the Moors Murderers were killing kids in Manchester. So go fuck yourself you complaining self righteous twats!!!! (Oh and I think Morrissey with respect to animal rights is a knob)......

  • This was a subject very close to the heart of Morrissey who was close friends with the mother of one of the children murdered. He felt as an artist he needed to express his pain and the pain of the nation for what had happened and nobody else in my opinion could have tackled it so sympathetically and so beautifully, it is an amazing piece of work, some of Marrs best playing. Its obvious Strongly Fancied and Exspurned82 are completely retarded but worse than that totally disrespectful

  • this is the one that cameron and gideon jerk off to at the bullingdon club.

  • @horse69outside And the award for stupid comment that has nothing to do with the video goes to horse69outside.

  • @horse69outside I HEARD JERK EACH OTHER OFF IN THE BULLINGDON

  • StronglyFancied, you don't like the song, then leave us be, please. I am tired of seeing comments that are not about the video and I am sure the uploader is pretty darn tired of seeing your comments.

    Very melodic guitar by Johnny here, by the way.

  • @StronglyFancied Would you mind if I subscribed to your page?

  • @exspurned82 NOT AT ALL FRIEND, IT WOULD BE AN HONOUR

  • Can we agree that Morrissey was deeply affected by the incidents described in this song?

    And could we also agree that the Smiths are in no way glorifying violence against children?

    Some of you posters should look at the song title: Suffer the Children.

    It is what it implies, for it is always the children who suffer.

    Is that so difficult to comprehend?

  • @mrsolofeo THE TITLE IS SICK, AND IT IS EVIL AND SICK TO PROFIT FROM CHILD MURDER, HE DIDNT EVEN GIVE THE MONEY TO THE FAMILIES, MORRISSEY YOU WILL ENDURE HELL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE UPON YOU

  • @StronglyFancied Why is it sick? Morrissey wrote about an incident that deeply affected him. The only people accountable are the ones who murdered those children.

    Al Stewart, another artist, profited from a song called Roads to Moscow which was about events surrounding the conflict between Germany and Russia during WWII where millions of innocents suffered and died.

    Are you saying that Al Stewart should donate the profits from that song to the families of those who died?

    C'mon dude, get real!

  • @mrsolofeo IF SOMEONE MAKES MONEY FROM SOMEONE ELSES SUFFERING AND MISERY THEN OF COURSE THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO SUFFERED SHOULD GET THE MONEY THAT WAS MADE. THAT IS JUST SIMPLE MORALITY, BUT WHEN THE PERSON IN QUESTION HAS MADE A LARGE SUM OF CASH OUT OF PAEDOPHILIA AND CHILD ABUSE THEN IT BECOMES EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAT THEY ARE RECOMPENSED. IF YOU CANT UNDERSTAND THAT THEN YOU ARE EITHER A SIMPLETON , OR A PAEDOPHILE SYMPATHIST

  • @StronglyFancied Don't call me a goddamn paedophile sympathist! Do me a favor--open your Bible and read it.

    It is full of all kinds of suffering. Those bibles reaped substantial profits by exploiting the suffering of all of those unfortunate victims throughout its pages. Therefore, all the money earned from the sale of all those bibles should be donated to all those who suffered and their survivors. Now do you see how ridiculous you sound?

  • @StronglyFancied Considering this song was the B side to a single and the last track on the album, I doubt very much they made money from it. The money comes from A sides and the more well known songs on the album (like "This Charming Man").

  • @StronglyFancied Yeh your right, its like that money Elton John made form Candle in the in the wind about Princes Diana went straight to Bernie Taupin who originally wrote it about Marilyn Monroe, but Bernie Taupin is totally skint because he had to give it all to Maralin Monroes Mother and Father because he wrote it about her. you stupid bastard

  • @StronglyFancied And what is it with the capital letters? Either your keyboard is broken or your fanaticism is starting to show.

  • @mrsolofeo AND I ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS AS I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO READ SMALL LETTERS, ITS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHOUTING OR FANATICISM, LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT I AM SAYING IS RIGHT AND TRUE. BYTHE WAY I HAVE JUST SEEN THAT MORRISSEY IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR HIS RECENT RACIST REMARKS, SO IT SEEMS YOUR HERO IS JUST A BIGOTTED RACIST AND A PAEDOPHILE SYMPATHISER, WELL DONE

  • @StronglyFancied What the fuck is your gripe with Morrissey? Why don't you get a life? How many times has he been called a faggot? Is he bitching about it. No. Everything he has put on paper was something that he felt strongly about, and unlike everyone else he has stood by his principles and has never been a sell-out.

    In short--he is one of the few honest people out there--and there ain't many of them left nowadays.

  • tbh i love the song and totally dissagree with the 2 comments below,ive read the books its not what you think it is .....dont jump to conclusions

  • I'm thinking of boycotting his music altogether to be honest.

  • @exspurned82 WELL SAID FRIEND, I USED TO LIKE THE SMITHS UNTIL I HEARD THIS SONG, IMAGINE IF I DID THIS NOWADAYS??? IMAGINE IF I WROTE A SONG ABOUT IAN HUNTLEY OR THOSE SCUMBAGS FROM TOTTENHAM WHO TORTURED THAT LITTLE BOY TO DEATH. THERE WOULD BE A LYNCH MOB AFTER ME, AND RIGHTLY SO. MORRISEY SHAME ON YOU FOR THIS, DONATE YOUR MONEY TO THE REMAINING FAMILY MEMBERS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

  • @StronglyFancied I don't see anyone lynch mobbing those who make films about war and other events. Why would they lynch mob you about singing about Ian Huntley?

  • Yeah, I do feel sort of guilty for liking The Smiths, mainly because

    of this song. I do believe there's something twisted about Morrissey, to write a song about paedophile killers. If he did it for publicity that's sick, but if its because of some fascination that makes him a perv in my eyes. He SHOULD pay the families.

  • Comment removed

  • @exspurned82 It's because he a sentient Mancunian and the Moors Murders are a fundamental part of Manchester's modern history and have left an obvious mark on the collective consciousness there, you prick. If, for some reason, he'd had occasion to write a song about the Munich Air Disaster, another critical event in Manchester's history, I wouldn't imagine he was glorifying air crashes. And if I heard a Liverpudlian song about the Hillsborough Disaster, presumably that would be sympathetic too.

  • @exspurned82 THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT I THINK

  • Comment removed

  • i'm not feeling a lot of compassion from Morrissey in this one...

  • @12inchvertical Really? I do, I find it haunting. It sure is one of the more downer songs but I do feel the compassion.

  • @12inchvertical YOUR RIGTH FRIEND, IT I S A SICK DISGUSTING SONG, AND AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE , MORRISSEY WILL BURN IN HELL UNLESS HE PAYS THE VICTIMS FAMILIES MONEY FROM HIS HUGE FORTUNE. GOD SHALL BE HIS JUDGE , NOT ME

  • @StronglyFancied Shame you can't prove if 'god' exists.

  • @Loughton397 NON BELIEVER , YOU CANNOT DENY THAT IT IS AN EVIL THING TO PROFIT FROM PAEDOS AND CHILD MURDERERS, IF YOU DO THEN YOU TOO ARE AS BAD AS BRADY, HINDLEY AND MORRISSEY

  • good song :) dosnt really make sense though, why morrissey would write it about the moors murders considering his most recent quote about the norway masecere? Just a bit confusing :') much love for the smiths and mozza xx

  • This song has no relation to Thompson and Venables, they were children when they committed their crime, Hindley and Brady knew exactly what they were doing. This song was written entirely about The Moors Murders and aimed at the ADULTS who killed the children. You guys are missing the point of the song.

  • @exspurned82 doesnt matter about thompson and venables they were old enough to know what they did was wrong , no excuses for them.

  • @exspurned82 YOUR RIGHT FRIEND SO RIGHT, MAYBE THIS IS WHY MORRISSEY LOVES PEOPLE LIKE MYRA HINDLEY AND IAN BRADY SO MUCH, WHATS HE GONNA DO NEXT WRITE A SONG ABOUT IAN HUNTLEY AND GARY GLITTER. HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF I FEEL SICK WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG, I HAVE TO MUTE IT TO COMMENT ON HERE

  • @StronglyFancied This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

  • @Lewphil SICK PAEDO SCUM YOULL BURN IN THE ETERNAL FIRES

  • @StronglyFancied Are you retarded?

  • @Lewphil YOU WILL BURN BOY

  • this song is spooky

  • this guitar riff has been in my head for weeks

  • Haunting. This is not glorification of the crimes! The worst lyrics the Smiths ever wrote make today's Grammy-award winning pop star's material look like inane and puerile twaddle. This was heartfelt poetry, and like all real art, it's not always pretty. To the ignorami, and you know who you are, consider this proverb: "Better to be silent and thought of as a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

  • @lynnelowell2008 Surely you knew most of today's lyrics are "puerile twaddle" without comparing them to fuck all? Only unreleased/underground tracks seem to have any lyrics that aren't about something pathetic that no-one cares about

  • Jeez, anyone who actually listens to the song will see it empathises with the victims and doesn't glorify the crimes at all

  • Manchester in late 70's should have been very bleak and sinister place

  • @dandyaufpferd What's changed?

  • This is a great song :]

  • I think there is another song in the history of rock that deals with the Moor murders. I think the Pretenders devoted a song on the same subject.

  • listened to the song and read the book of hindley.....but cannot see anything sininster about the song .no needs to cleanse myself and go to church like some ......i like the song its so haunting....

  • Brilliant ! Heart felt and real.... It's one of the best songs on this here little planet !

  • This song is for Myra Hindley.

    Its not a dedication or something postive.

    This song intends to haunt her for all the awful crimes of what she did until the day she dies, Morrissey wants her to suffer for what she did and he hopes that his lyrics will do that.

    He wants her to hear the children everything she feels pleaseure.

    ''But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side,Until the day you die''.

    Poetic song

  • @Missvamp2010 YOU ARE RIGHT THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO HINDLEY THE CHILD MURDERER, AND SHE MADE MONEY OUT OF THIS DISGUSTING SONG, SHAME ON THAT WEIRD FREAK MORRISSEY FOR THIS REVOLTING SONG

  • @StronglyFancied

    i said its not a dedication, its a song morrissey wrote because he was so disgusted in the crimes that rose west committed, if you listened to the lyrics, than you would realized that he wants rose west to suffer until the day she dies, she never made money, the victims did.

  • @Missvamp2010 This has absolutely nothing to do with Rose West! If you listened to the lyrics, thEn you would HAVE realized that! This song was released in '84, Rose West was not even arrested till '94. However Rose West should suffer untill the day she dies!

  • @pickledpeppa

    oh shit! i meant Myra Hindley!

    Sorry i got a little bit mixed up.

  • @Missvamp2010 WEST AND HINDLEY ARE BOTH REVOLTING, I USED TO LIKE THE SMITHS UNTIL I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS SONG, AND IF ANY OF YOU DONT WANT TO GO TO HELL FOR PRAISING AND WORSHIPPING CHILD MURDERERS AND PAEDOS THEN YOU SHOULD BE LIKE ME AND TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT IT TO OTHER LESS INFORMED PEOPLE, OTHERWISE THEY RISK GOING TO HELL

  • @StronglyFancied WE MAY BE DEAD AND WE MAY BE GONE.

    BUT WE WILL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE. THIS IS NO EASY RIDE.

    This is not whorship you moron its about those poor children waitng for those evil bastards!!!

  • @00twanga00 I doubt those nonces were bothered about their conscience if they had any at all so I don't think that would have bothered them. This should go out to any underage victims of monsters even if said monsters were also underage (Venables and Thompson)

  • @PBL187 WELL SAID FRIEND, THOSE TWO MONSTERS KILLED LITTLE KIDS AND NOW MORRISEY IS PROFITING FROM THIS, I HAVE SAID BEFORE THAT I BELIEVE THAT MORRISSEY SHOULD PAY A MILLION POUNDS FROM HIS FORTUNE TO THE VICTIMS FAMILIES. ONLY THIS WAY HE MAY AVOID BURNIGN IN HELL...

  • @StronglyFancied Thats not what I meant I meant it should be for any child victims of paedos/child murderers, and therefore against whoever did wrong things to said victims just like its against Hindley and Brady (more against Hindley). I don't think this was about profiting and he/they probably did give to the victim's families or charity, those murders had some kinda bad effect or something on Morrisey
