Morrissey must love this! Don't you think? (Score:2, Interesting)
I'd hate to think that it is offending him or causing him any discomfort.

The Boy Has Done Some Creative Work (Score:1)
I liked this installment much better than the first. It's easy too see you have put some hard work into this most recent update, where as the first one seemed rash and easily brushed off. Much more compelling. The next update should be fast(if you don't mind my 3 cents), people should not be allowed to sleep on it, even if you do not get as much reaction on moz-solo as the last time, I am sure everyone won't be able to resist (despite their violent reaction to your site)to take a peak at it. The "who and why" ought to be interesting, I for one look forward to it.
Who knows the tabloids may catch hold of this, set it all ablaze and one David Alice is responsible for Morrissey getting signed again.
After all stranger things have happened, wouldn't you agree?
PS I can fantasize too cant I?

Some Girls are bigger than others (Score:2, Insightful)
This installment is much cleaner and consice, you almost have me convinced, almost.
However I disagree with your characterzation of meaning behind at least two songs, "I know its over" and Some Girls are Bigger than others.
In I know its over, the verse about the loud loutish lover, and the veiled bride, I took more as an aside, from the major theme of unrequited love/life of the author in the face of his passing life.
As for some girls are bigger than others, I saw it not as a song about popular women, but something more comical. For example take, Some men are bigger than others. As a symbol of manhood, its certainly been an obsession of the modern age, perhaps its always been. I saw some girls are bigger than others as a play on this.
Certainly the obvious refrence would be to the chest, as that is the traditionaly the female equivalent where size is measured. However I think Morrissey intended to compare the same yardstick to women as for men. So when he says "Some girls mothers, are bigger than other girls mothers" What piece of anatomy makes a women a mother? Yes. Thats how I always saw it. You could see it literally as physical weight, but the preceding verses seem to point more to a sexual refrence.
"As Antony said to Cleopatra, as he opened a crate of Ale.." A man seducing a women over alchol (sic).
From the ice age to the dole age, there is but ONE concern.
Many have said that all civilzation and yearning man has done, has been but an attempt to get a little tail. Former Presidents bear witness to this.
Or in the live version there is the added verse
"On the shop board, this calender, as obvious as snow, as if we didnt know"
Well whats in the calender? Women in swimsuits, if anything at all. Its so obvious,
Some girls are bigger than others.
So to me its either,
The neather region, the chest, or perhaps the beauty of women, that the song is about.
That was always my take, I wonder what others thought it meant?

No Sheila, I didn't dismiss the man out of hand and thank you for my right to an opinion, as I believe that we all have a right to one (including our dear Mr. Alice).
I do appreciate the response though.
