[Comtesse]

If ever the words "Decent, OK, Nothing Special" applied to a Moz song, they apply to this one. It's a b-side that sounds like a b-side. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... A 6, obviously.

[lottie]

OMGosh, i was so obsessed with this song when i was discovering and devouring all things Moz, (oh how i wish ).
I haven't listened to it for AGES, gosh knows why....
*scurriess off to dig it out and loop it for an hour*

[timelessmelody]

I think it's a fun song and great to listen to, but not a classic, no.

[the more you explore me!]

just a b side.....nothing amazing.

[CrystalGeezer]

One of my favorites.

[Amy]

Nothing special lyrically, but a nice upbeat little tune. I like it. 8.

[celibate]

an 8

Personally I like it a lot, but I know the music is mediocre, bit of Rock-a billy-roll, that He had around that time [like the Loop, and Sister I'm a poet on Beethoven] and i guess He wrote the lyrics sitting on the toilet while
being in the studio, theyre not that impressive

but the song is upbeat, cheerfull, gives me a good feeling, thats why I'd
given it an 8

[Well I Wonder]

6/10. Aint bad. Not a classic though.

[patten]

A 6. Really nothing special.

[girlunafraid]

how come this is up to part 138, in a top 100 (ok I see what's happening now) that most people don't give 2 shits about anyway? Publish the results and wrap it up eh?

[King Leer]

Didn't Gary Day write or co-write this track?

Can't imagine man-of-few-words Gaz saying much in the studio.

[Houdini]

Didn't Gary Day write or co-write this track?

It is indeed credited as a Morrissey/Whyte/Day-composition,
as is fellow Tomorrow b-side Let the Right One Slip In.
