"Late Night, Maudlin Street" - tidbit in Q Magazine

The December issue of Q Magazine has a small Morrissey reference in it under the heading "Unsolved Crimewatch!", which is basically a page about songs which involve crimes:

Late Night Maudlin Street - Morrissey

Crime: Assault.
Victim: Steven Patrick Morrissey.
Time: Evening, early 1970s.
Scene: Maudlin Street.
Details: "I came home late one night, everyone had gone to bed/Nobody stays up for you when you have 15 stitches all around your head." A local youth was latter apprehended ("They took you away in the police car").
Clues: Judging by the victim's protests ("Dear Inspector, don't you care?/Don't you know about love?), the wrong person may have been arrested.
Changes of being solved: Again, there are serious gaps in evidence and the passage of time involved makes a conviction unlikely.

There's also a picture of Morrissey with the text: "Stop! Thief! You're rather handsome.", probably refering to Morrissey's "love" of crime and criminals.

And many, many more (Score:2, Interesting)

The new K-tel compilation on crime-related Moz songs could also include:

Jack The Ripper
What Difference Does It Make? ("I stole...")
Meat Is MURDER
Miserable Lie ("Into the depths of the criminal world..")
Rusholme Ruffians ("A boy is stabbed and his money is grabbed")
I Want The One I Can't Have ("He killed a policeman..")
Sweet and Tender Hooligan ("Strangled in her very own bed...")
Is It Really So Strange? ("I killed a nun')
Suffer Little Children (About the Moors Murderes)
The Queen Is Dead ("some 9 year old tough who peddles drugs")
The list goes on and on, especially considering much of the rest of his subject matter: football hooligans, child beating, drug abuse, racist attacks etc.

Crime is one of his big themes.

It is a very bad situation indeed when that criminal Moz doesn't bring us another caper of his own!
