I don't know what is better here: Mozzer's hip-swinging, Marr's guitar flail right before the final verse, or the fact that no matter how many times one hears this song, its majesticism never wanes an ounce
His whole career was about his life, he's famous for telling the world everything in his Autobiography. An inspiration to all people in the UK and all others who've had a hard life, difficuilt backgrounds, and is one of those who can inspire millions just by telling you about there life.
Yeah so, I knew he was holy. Why else is there light coming out from behind him at 2:35, a chorus of beautiful music, and why are his arms stretched out in an imploring fashion a la Jesus Christ at 2:33-2:34? Coincidence? I think not.
The Smiths are my favourite band and I've just recorded an acoustic version of This Charming Man, please check it out on my profile and let me know what you think!
I love this, I was working nightshift in a Safeway in the UK in 1990 when a store manager got stopped leaving the store with stuff he was stealing, by the time the Police came to pick him up we had a request for this played on the radio.........even the cops were laughing.
Some days the only thing keeping me walking the straight and narrow is the hope I get to heaven and sit at these guy's table until eternity. Champagne vodka eternal bliss and Moz and the boys-take me now!!!!

'@HansBooBee Honey the Ed Sullivan show was in the 60's. this is the 80's. Over 20 years difference, perhaps 30. I grew up in the 80's and didn't really know about the Ed Sull. show until later in my teens, and then only as nostalgia. I did however love the Smiths.
