the b sides are like hidden treasures

[mozroz]

This is Moz's best B-side in my humble opinion

[atomicinjun]

I absolutely love, love, love this song! "Older and wiser never applies to me!"

[tommy444able]

the best imo

[TheAmbitiousOutsider]

this song is one of my favourite Moz songs xxx

@jeffeastwood15 I think it's about what a swallow represents. Sailors from back in the day used to get it to show how many years they had been out at sea, amond other meanings. Look it up - it's really interesting.

I've been listening to this song for the past 13 or so years and I've never been able to find out what (if anything) "he drew a swallow on my neck" meant. Is it a British expression?

I absolutely LOVE this song! However, I agree with previous commenter who said There is something much better about the album version. It's much sadder and more bittersweet. This is too 'rocking out' for this song. The whole point of Morrissey is that his song lyrics are very sad and ironic, yet the tunes are often cheerful and upbeat. The contrast is the statement.

super you ghouls

He sounds great here--takes great care of his voice!

[alxfnch91]

i think this live version doesnt do the song justice, the one in the studio is like a glassey eyed love dream, but when i go to see morrissey live i dont care if he doesnt try to sound the same as on the record. mozzer concerts are more like pride rallys anyway

[jesseneverdie]

He seriously does leave some off the best songs off of albums, a lot funner finding them as Bsides though!
