    An easy 10.

    The only really redeeming feature of Kill Uncle, really.

    The song in which Morrissey, quite simply, says it all.
    Absolute genius!

    Wow, I've never seen opening scores like this: a 1, a 3, a 6 a 9 and 2 10s.
    A true love-it or hate-it song!?

    One of the best Moz 'sing (wail) along' songs.
    I LOVE it.

    Incessantly perverse adoration of Steven Patrick Morrissey

    Utterly horrid. Morrissey should really be ashamed of this atrocity.

    He probably is as it was the only single he left off this excellent singles-compilation...


    Still, I always quite liked it.
    An 7 for me, but could be 8 on antother day.

    8. Second best song on "Kill Uncle". Not as good as "Our Frank".

    7 for me. I like it, but not the best on Kill Uncle for me.

    Embarrassing lyrically

    Musically not up to much either


    and yet



    I LOVE IT and I sing along to the chorus at max volume whenever it comes on 7
    "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.

    i remember outside the hammersmith odeon in 1991, a fan got their arm sling signed by the man himself and it said 'sling your life'.

    lol, nice pun but it is basically another way of saying 'kill yourself'. harsh but funny

    It gets a respectable 7 from me. One of the better efforts from Kill Uncle, but far from a Moz classic.

    People who vote this down are:
    a) Morrissey
    b) taking Morrissey's word for holy writ
    c) gruesomely misguided

    Bring your knife.
