but did you see jealousy in the eyes of the ones you had to leave behind... and the titles London. This is pure genious! The words in this song are absolutely true to the bone, amazing, leaving provincial England to live in the city of refuge and I'm really talking about zones one and two. No wonder Quentin Crisp left and found acceptance and joy in New York.
I know, its just I was watching some Quentin Crisp stuff and it was fresh in my mind. Also, the video made me think of general English dissatisfaction with London, the provinces and got me to thinking that a lot of my own personal heroes, Quentin Crisp for example had to find some kind of better happiness abroad. I guess like Morrissey in a sort of different maybe similar way, don't know.
@BPCpresents i thought after commenting that maybe the movie was about quentin crisp since ive never seen it i duno ill find out , top song tho , probablyt my favourite smiths tune bit too short tho like all the greats :P
FANTASTIC, this is one of my TOP FAV Smiths tracks. USed to play it lots when I used to DJ. The fast pace and energy is so electrifying, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT VIDEO!
Well, really. This song had Billy written all over it from the start, of course. But Neil, this is a masterpiece. Superb work. Viva The Smiths, viva Billy Fisher.
this song makes me want to stomp the disliker with combat boots.

Well done mate. The images from Billy Liar go really well with the song. Well selected and well observed.
Of course the song isn't about London at all, it's about the North.
If you like a bit of Moz check out my film on Fitzrovia, London - he sings a bit at the start -
