It's the "love I'm giving to you on the floor" bit that does it for everyone, innit?
and the will to see you smile and belong has now gone
I love these lyrics!
I immediately thought of snubbing the Cheshire cat here upon first listen.
So, I read/and heard the lyrics to Its not your Birthday Anymore...
And I dunno, I can't quite understand why he gets all emotional/ and high pitched towards the end of the song.
In fact, I'm not sure what's goin on in the song to be honest
From the sound of it you'd think he was breaking up with his boyfriend. hah!
Anyway. I would appreciate if someone gave me their indepth analysis of the song
An orgasm?

You could almost read it as a birthday-based rewrite of Last Christmas! As in it was the person's birthday yesterday... but today things between them are different. But obviously the mention of a birthday echoes the Smiths and Unhappy Birthday and even the unreleased I Want A Boyfriend For My Birthday... so I think he is saying it's not the days of Smithdom anymore. And then in the context of the track-listing, he is saying it's not not your birthday anymore followed by You Were Good In Your Time - which is almost like saying the same thing: you were good once, back in the old days, but those days are now gone... In fact, I would say the last four songs are chosen to, er, thematically drive that particular point home at the very end of the album. So I read it all as Morrissey saying the days of The Smiths are gone and he is now okay by himself i.e. solo!
I think I'm reading it alot simpler than most of you...
I think it just has to do with being nice to someone when you have to be. we all do that. we are all fake to an extent. when people ask "how are you?" and you say "fine." most of the time I bet we really honestly don't give a shit how that person is doing, but the polite thing to do is ask "how are YOU doing?" it sounds like Morrissey is talking about some relationship gone wrong, but he was put in an uncomfortable situation (maybe this persons birthday party? i know i know, SO literal right? ) and maybe he couldnt show his true feelings infront of this person. or maybe this person knew how he felt, but he didnt wanna show the whole crowd this. So he forces himself to go to this function, or this party, or someones house and this PERSON is there, and he puts on a front that he's okay, but he knows after that day is over, he can go back to hating this person.
yes. i feel the same.
