Marr goes Heavy Metal with guiter. Morrissey sings some of his best lyrics. A gem!

@GlorifiedTruth Using Burger King in the lyrics would be classier than Birkenhead...

It took the tattooed boys from Burger King to really really open her eyes.

One word-AWESOME

@awrygargoyle But it's easy to become wrapped up in the magic of a band like this. Perhaps it doesn't seem cryptic to me solely because I understand (or feel that I do) the basis of the work. All of the Smiths music has a social consciousness to it. A great deal of it is as simple as a reference to real events or to other works of art (specifically, literature), while some of it is simply great storytelling, leaving it subject to interpretation...which is fine, but is not always necessary

@awrygargoyle great point. I'm an American, and I'm sure the English have a unique sense for their music, especially music so emotionally driven. People all over the world can share that connection in the music but it has to be a lot different when you can walk down the streets they mention. Tho in the same token, you don't have to live in NYC or London to have a connection to punk music...

@DUBtheTIGER That depends on the nationality of the reader/listener...as much english as I know and comprehend (even I teach english here in Spain), some stuff of this band (which is of the utmost importance to me) is just too english for me to understand in all its glory...hence the need to be explained sometimes
Class song!
