There's an official video for this cover,it's Morrissey in front of a brick wall & someone who looks like Johnny Marr playing guitar alongside him,I could be wrong tho.
it's amazing how people can completely miss the point of songs! this is like making a video for norwegian wood and putting in clips from people skiing in norway
@talktal Not sure about that. I've never read that anywhere. Besides, during that time they sped up a lot of the tracks live. I don't think it was because he thought it was a bad cover.
I like your video! Still, I think Morissey's cover is over enunciated and too overtly melancholic. The Jam's original was precisely so biting because it evidenced frustration rather than morose resignation.
Morissey took a song about social and existential frustration and made it into what seems like yet another screed on, well, entertainment as a business and culture. Weaksauce.
I know Morrisey covered this song but Did the Jam first sing this or did the Jam cover it as well? Who else has covered this song. It's one of my favorite songs as a teen from the early 80s.
Very cool then. Morrissey is a good performer even though a lot of the young people today make fun of him. But Even he was far greater then the emo corporate bands of today.
morrisey can write lyrics better than this song and so can weller like they both have in other tracks, theyre both good theyve just got different styles. expand your mind dick wad and then you might make some friends that like your opinion instead of being embarrassed by your gay blurts
This song screams, 'working class England'. The visuals are completely incongruous.

Don't much care for Morrissey, but this version of this song kills.
The Black / White visuals for this are perfect.

even morrissey thought this was a bad cover. he changed up the pace on the live version to make it sound more like the original.

The visuals don't fit the song. It needs to be grainy, rain-soaked images of the mill towns of Northern England.
Thanks for uploading.
