    Question Well I wonder?

    Do you recon Billy Bud and Spring-Heeled Jim ever met?
    Do think they were sectret lovers?
    Who do you think would win in a fight?
    Do you think I've got too much time on my hands?

    Just thinking out loud. Or more acuratly, thinking out-type


    And if I seem a little strange
    Well, that's because I am
    If I seem a little strange
    That's because I am

    So I said all the best freaks are here
    All the best freaks are here
    Please stop staring at me

    Remember my advice about thinking before you start threads?

    Fortunately, I am currently following my own advice
    "The Past Was Yours, But The Future's Mine......"

    People shouldn't Profit Off Of Morrissey...Nor should they hoard or "Trade' under specific conditions...Sharing is Caring, Friends...I Don't Eat My Friends, Nor Do I Withhold From Them

    And I mean it in a COMPLETELY ARTISTIC sense, but it all depends on your point of view?

    I took my job application
    Into town
    Did you hear ? they turned me down
    Yes, and its all because of us
    Oh, and what was in our eyes
    Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah


    That song would imply Morrissey and the Billy Budd character were more than friends....
    "I think both me and Morrissey are about as proud as anyone can be about those records. I'm proud of everything the band did, and I'm proud of the relationship, and I'm proud of the friendship. I don't have any feud going on. I support what Andy's doing, and I don't know what Morrissey's doing but I'm behind it." - Johnny Marr, 2013.

    1982-1994, that's twelve years. On the Maladjusted tour he updated it to "now it's 15 years on". And he described himself as unemployable, but this is old news.

    Billy Budd might have been Jim's cellmate but I don't think Jim has any steady lover. They were trapped together for a certain amount of time (7 years ), there it might have some connection, but afterwards it all faded away.

    And if someone, like me, didn't know about this Jack-guy:

    ummm, not every Morrissey song has Sexual References in them...

    It's quite possible just about ANYTHING could have been in there eyes..

    Ambition, Intimidation, World Domination, Hatred, Murder....

    I still think it's about Marr...

    And how the two of them took on the world and won, but Marr wasn't happy..and That's all Morrissey really wants for his old partner
    "The Past Was Yours, But The Future's Mine......"

    From wikipedia about Spring-Heeled Jack:

    The first reports of Jack was from a businessman returning home late one night from work, who told of being suddenly shocked as a mysterious figure jumped with ease over the high railings of a cemetery, landing right in his path. No attack was reported, but the submitted description was disturbing: a muscular man with devilish features including large and pointed ears and nose, and protruding, glowing eyes.

    Later, in October 1837, a girl by the name of Mary Stevens was walking to Lavender Hill, where she was working as a servant, after visiting her parents in Battersea. On her way through Clapham Common, according to her later statements, a strange figure leapt at her from a dark alley.

    What the hell was she doing walking across Clapham Common after dark!? WAIT, maybe Morrissey's trying to allude to times he's been cottaging there! I KNEW there was a deep, gay sexual reference in every song!

    Coiff.

    I'm playing football in Battersea on Saturday, and going for drinks in Clapham afterwards

    I thought "Billy Budd" was about the character in the Herman Melville story.
