How sad are we?
And how sad have we been?
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
Oh, but only if
You're really interested
You wonder how
We've stayed alive 'til now
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
But only if
You're really interested
We're all smiles
Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles
That make us hostile
We will descend
On anyone unable to defend
Themselves
And the songs we sing
They're not supposed to mean a thing
Oh .. You're lonely
Oh ... you're lonely
Oh ... GET OFF THE ROOF!
Oh ... Your Arsenal!
We may seem cold, or we may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever know
You'll never ever want to know

@lyonslaforet yes, I agree. especially viva la hate, but your arsenal is something else for me (subjectively)
-
for some reason this has to be one my favourite morrissey songs,..mind you there are so so many.
-
@arooh I thought so too until I read herbgarrat's post.
-
@arooh Yes, hoorah someone gets it !!!!
-
Moz at his best, as scarily close to the English mindset as it gets.
-
best fucking album by Mozz ever
-
Morrissey has always, very astutely, illustrated the difference between patriotism & nationalism. How can people listen to a song like this & then accuse him of being a flag waving racist?
-
@arooh yeah its about trying to think as a football hooligan
-
I need to hear this for inspiration because tomorrow
I`m embarking on unknown journey in my life. I`ll put it all in God`s hands and meditate seeking peace through Morrissey`s music.

Only an Englishman, and one of this calibre, could deride Britain so comprehensively as this. Nationalism, Colonialism, Patriotism, and all the other sad BS that has scarred the National psyche is so beautifully and elliptically lampooned here.
Brilliant!
