Mike Joyce is so awesome in this song, in this band even. When people talk about The Smiths they think of Morrissey and Marr and yes they are god but you can't forget Joyce and Rourke, Rourke was brilliant in Rusholme Ruffians and Barbarism Begins at Home and Joyce was also great in Queen Is Dead, they are both so very great.
I took a German cousin who had no idea who the Smiths were to see them back in '86 and at the end of the show all he kept talking about was the brilliance of the rhythm section.
@RyoCaliente Rourke was brilliant in more than just those two songs. He made them unique. I have listened to them since they released the first record and I always end up listening to his bass lines when I listen to their music. He is my favorite Smith.
Is this the one that was used for Rank?

I love how the others seem to be dressed in nice suits, while Joyce looks like he's going to the beach <3
