  • Jol11 from LeedsJust watched a mini documentary claiming this song was actually written a year before Chernobyl and is about Jimmy Savile
  • Randy from Grande Prairie, AbI would like to add Ron Sexsmith to that list. Not the singer that Morrissey is but an incredible wordsmith. Give him a listen.
  • Dave from Liverpool, United KingdomMy mate was at school with Morrissey and said that when he was 16, the 11 year-old pupils used to beat him up. He was a real soft target....
  • Jay from Syracuse, NyMorrissey is England's best living writer--any genre. His handling of the language, the originality of phrasing, the wit and polish of professional songwriting combined with the confessional pathos of amateur rock--without rival. He and Dylan are the only two lyricists of the last 50 years whose work I can imagine human beings reading a thousand years from now--if there are still human beings then. I marvel at his skill.
