It's just as likely to have been about record label exec David Balfe (as Country House is) although given how pessimistic The Great Escape is it could easily be autobiographical.

I read somewhere (it might have been here) that a lot of it was quite flowery and didn't really work. But at least put it on a b-side!

I like Ringleader, it's a good old easygoing sort of record and it's got a good set of b-sides too (I'm in the Sweetie Pie fanclub, it's got a membership of one). That said, I've never quite forgiven anyone involved in Dear God Please Help Me for inviting Ennio Morricone to score it then...

It's just a list of songs. You could pick and choose from any of them.

It's got an enormous chorus, big and bold and loud like something Oasis might have done. Which appealed to me but it is also the things you say. All a matter of opinion!

I wish Dear God Please Help Me wasn't widely available. Get a renowned composer in to add some score then chuck most of his work in the bin. Annoys me every time. Ganglord is an absolute belter though. Blew me away first time I saw him play it live.

How can you name a post that and then not push the actual song? From a single that sold tiny numbers & not featured on any compilation, 'You Must Please Remember' has got to be one of the lesser listened to songs of all.

I worked at a studio that had worked with a band signed to Warner's - debut album recorded and all ready for the big push, then Barenaked Ladies dropped 'One Week' and that was the end of that.

From someone who's never listened to The Boiler. Maybe post using your own name, Peter.

Morrissey shook my hand at the Bridgewater Hall in 2006 then gave me the filthiest look you ever did see. Proper daggers.

At least I'll be able to listen to it more than once. Unlike the other song I've heard her on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boiler

2,500 copies, twelve quid a pop. I don't think he'll bother with albums anymore, why would anyone?

Morrissey isn't 'cancelled' for his views, he's cancelled because he's 61. Quarry (a sales abberation in the first place) went platinum, Ringleader gold, Years of Refusal silver, then oblivion. That's what happens, and to people way bigger than Morrissey.

It's too short to compensate for its weaknesses. Look at an album like Parklife by Blur, it's got sixteen tracks three of them are throwaway but it's got 13 others. Kill Uncle has Found Found Found and Harsh Truth of The Camera Eye and that's a fifth of the album taken care of. The good songs...

Get him on the UK version with his brother from another mother, Jeremy Clarkson.

This isn't true though, is it? The law has been selectively applied from the beginning and the criteria are the same as for any other interaction with The Fuzz. Is the policeman in a good mood? Does he know the law? Are you white? Are you working class? And the law itself is so wishy-washy...

Everyone should be allowed to drive to a beauty spot for their Government allowed exercise on condition that they self isolate for the following two weeks in their own car wherever they last parked it.

Proving once again that people will be any old crap if it's on a piece of plastic they've been told is cool.

Reel Big Fish's cover almost worth the price of admission for, 'And if they're No Doubt, that makes it even worse'

You couldn't make Graceland these days, they'd call it cultural appropriation.
